Nice attempt! Hopefully you can get into Hufflepuff next time!

I materialised students to sit at the tables but I could only do one by one (each with a little apparating pop) so I moved on to the teachers. They were sitting in all the wrong places and I had to herd them up to the head table and tell them where to sit, lol. It was amusing but also annoying. When I finally had the place set up, my dream faded away Still, not bad for a first try I guess. I'll keep you guys posted!

Aww, well you still did very well! I failed my first try too, I got a wand but I got too involved in some silly plot between Harry and Dumbledoor and I forgot about the sorting hat.

I did it and I'm in Slytherin! Why aren't you active lately, mrdeano, my only fellow Slytherin? Here is a (condensed) excerpt from my DJ:

Spoiler for sorting:

I did WILD, stabilized and flew around a bit looking for Hogwarts before teleporting successfully to just outside the Great Hall.
I went in with a small group of other first years and went to sit on the stool to get sorted first. Just as the hat fell over my eyes I saw the crest of Slytherin in the blackness and the hat said, "Slytherin!" but I'm not sure if it was out loud. I wanted to make sure so I asked it, "Slytherin, are you sure?" because I know it comes with a bad rep. It told me that that was its choice but it was ultimately up to me. I didn't really know so I was happy with Slytherin.
I took the hat off and went over to my table. Hogwarts was different now though, after the revolution with Voldemort and everything. The houses weren't as set against each other and people could sit at other tables if they wanted to. Fred and George came over to sit with me.
Across the hall I could see a group of first years who hadn't been sorted and someone told me that Hogwarts was now taking squibs and teaching them stuff too.

I'm happy with my house because "the qualities which Salazar valued in the students he chose included cleverness, resourcefulness, determination, and 'a certain disregard for the rules.'" which ultimately is rather flattering even if the prominent Slytherin characters were &%$#. Snape is one of my fav characters though

Yay! Nice job! I look forward to competing with you and MrDeano.

Thanks I hope this thread comes back to life more!
Going to sleep, trying for a LD, completeing tasks, I guess the action is bound to be a little slower than watching an HP movie It would be so awsome if we could have one massive shared dream and then all compete for the Triwizard cup!

I'm so jealous of you all Harrypotter is probably my favorite thing in the entire world. i would love to participate but I can't LD

Persistance, my friend
I'd recommend not trying to do too much at once. Your first bunch of LDs will probably be all about stabilizing and just flying around (that's the way mine still almost always start). I also wouldn't even think about WILD at first.
Hopefully this thread will (slowly) be going for awhile so take your time and I hope you're in my house one day What house do you want?

Hi everyone I've had a veerrryyy long dry spell but I'm taking part in this anyways! Harry Potter FTW. I'd like to ask about some of the rules...so i understand that first I have to get sorted. After I've been sorted, can I go looking for my wand right away, and can I complete tasks (or one task) in the same dream? Or do I have to complete each task in a separate dream?

Yay, another recruit! I believe people have done both -- got sorted and moved straight into the tasks or doing them indivdually. I really should get on the tasks myself!
Anyway, hope you get into my house

Glad to have you here! Good luck to you in getting sorted into the House you want.

Yay! Welcome to Hogwarts!

Argh...my dream was full of dream signs last night and I didn't become lucid. At one point I was writing on this thread. -.- SO FRUSTRATING, but I take this as a sign that my brain is starting to get into lucid dreaming again small steps, you know.
p.s. sorry for this meaningless message

I'm going to try WILD really seriously this week, and if I get lucid, I'm going to try this out

Good luck

Just got sorted into Hufflepuff. I'm not to thrilled about it but oh well its final. My experience was different from you guys. I found the sorting hat and put it on. As it fell over my eyes it felt like it took control of my voice and made me yell out Hufflepuff. DJ coming as soon as i transcribe it ( I record my DJs )

Is any one else in my house?

Excerpt from my DJ;

I appeared in an office like setting where there were oddly no chairs or desks just a large open room with small closed off offices surrounding. I decided to do a RC and plugged my nose and tried to breathe in. It worked So then ofcourse I looked around at my surroundings to try and sort of 'load' my dream world so it wouldn't crash and fade upon me when I started to roam around. During that time I noticed that I was on the ground floor of a building near a baseball diamond, I also remembered that I was to search for the sorting hat to be sorted for the Harry Potter LD:RPG I went to the washroom, a dingy one, and entered one of the large stalls that handicap people are supposed to use. There, was the sorting hat.... Thinking to myself, "wtf is it doing there?" I sat down on the toilet and put it on. It slid over my eyes and there was total darkness. I felt my voice being taken over as I, involuntarily shouted out, "Hufflepuff!". I sat there for a moment, thinking about how out of all the houses, that was the one at the bottom of my list. I then took off the sorting hat and stood up. That's when I walked b.ack into the empty room. The surrounding offices were now filled. The one with the view of the baseball diamond had a girl leaned over the table. I walked in, RC'd then thought, hey, why not. So I went on to fck her. Slowly my dream faded into another.

Cool, welcome to Hogwarts! Yeah, I think that makes Hufflepuff the biggest house so far with 3 (with Slytherin at 2 and the others one each I think). I'm honestly kind of surprised at Hufflepuff's popularity I thought I might get sorted there but nope.

dambldor
do you know why the sorting hat sorted you in Gryffindor.
harry
because i wanted it to do that.....
dambldor
exactly harry......exactly

i ll just want it to put me in the house i want and it will.because lucid dreaming is all about will power.hahaha ....not cheating harry did the same

Great idea, I'll try it.

I just completed lumos and alhomora for hufflepuff.

Check it out in my DJ

I failed to become lucid yesterday, it's been some time since I trained it.
I'm going to look up some different medhods for me, and I'm hoping I'll succeed tonight.

Aww, dang, I'm still the only one in my house...that's kind of surprising. Hufflepuff is popular

Very cool idea. I really like this, and I love the HP series.

I will give this a go. I hope it happens soon.
