Hogwarts House Challenge

**Hidden** · 11-07-2011 12:23 AM

Oooo, I definitely want to try this! I'm in desperate need of a dream goal; most of my lucids recently have just been walking around with no real purpose. Plus I'm hoping for like 25 lucids between now and January 1st, so hopefully this will motivate me.

Isn't Gryffindor in the lead?

**Mancon** · 11-07-2011 02:48 AM

I think HufflePuff is in the lead, i'm not sure. Nobody has been updating the score

**Hidden** · 11-07-2011 05:49 AM

You're a DG Mancon, can't you update it? Or can only mods/admins edit posts?

Maybe whenever someone accomplishes something they could just repost the updated scores... Although I feel like it might be helpful to have some sort of gamemaster/moderator who decides how many points each accomplishment should get, so it's fair.

**Juf** · 11-07-2011 06:28 AM

I've updated it here (hope it's right, comment if it isn't) if any mod wants to edit the first post.

Spoiler for New Edit:

**Hidden** · 11-08-2011 04:48 PM

Wow, Hufflepuff is a beast. I guess I'll be hoping to join Ravenclaw or Gryffindor (sorry Slytherin), since it's no fun to join the team that's already winning.

I completely forgot about this two nights ago and didn't become lucid last night... Hopefully tonight will go better.

Edit: Oh, and thanks for posting that, Juf.

**Naiya** · 11-13-2011 06:41 AM

Wow, hufflepuff is kicking ass <_<; I should catch up. We need people in the other houses, too...

**Hidden** · 11-13-2011 06:27 PM

Poor little Ravenclaw only has one member...

**Stubert** · 11-14-2011 12:15 AM

Not been on DV for a while and completely forgot about this. Been lucid quite a lot lately, think I'll try some more tonight.

Welcome to all the new members, hope at least one of you joins me in lonely old Ravenclaw.

Hey! It's morning here. I just had an amazing dream and I thought I would share it with you.

(I was lucid the whole way through.)

I was in a house.. But it was weird... IT WAS A GIANT MUSHROOM. When I walked outside I saw orange spots on the white top of the mushroom. There were goblins roaming around a village made completely of mushrooms. Fascinating. I remembered this post and decided to pay the chief of the village a visit. "Do you have any very old artifacts?" I asked. He presented me with a brown hat. I put it on my head; The goblin tride to take it back from me. It whispered Hufflepuff into my ear. I jumped into the air in exitement. I flew threw the skys into space into my brain and out my forhead. I woke up and wrote this post.

**Hidden** · 11-15-2011 03:43 AM

Awesome, good job getting sorted Zalak!

**Midori** · 11-17-2011 07:59 AM

Well, this sounds like fun. I'll be looking around for the sorting hat next time I'm lucid now. I just hope I don't end up in Hufflepuff.

**voxAETHER** · 11-18-2011 10:37 AM

this is not my current dream goal! thanks for the great idea!

Yay! Good luck guys...I hope you get into my house!

**Merro** · 11-22-2011 04:58 AM

I really need to try this...

Yesss, you must, so that I won't be the only one in my house anymore xD;

**Cinder** · 11-26-2011 07:49 AM

Sounds interesting, but I have one argument.
You said the hat's word is final, but in the last book it was mentioned that you can choose your own house.

To be quite honest, since the hat is made from your subconscious you could influence to do anything. Of course, that ruins the fun of it! I'll be trying to score some more point for Hufflepuff tonight

Hmm...good point. But for the sake of the game, it might get sort of crazy if people are switching teams.

Hello guys

I sincerely apologise for not keeping this topic updated. I have recently started University and I have no free time for Dreamviews at all. I am very glad that some of you are still doing the Hogwarts Challenge. If someone would be able to take over duties that would be helpful

[SIZE="5"][CENTER][B]Hogwarts House Challenge![/B][/CENTER][/SIZE]

I have always been deeply interested in the Harry Potter stories and I never really made the connection with Lucid Dreaming until now. Ever since Harry Potter peaked my interest I have always longed for a MMORPG type of game. A game where I could take part in the Wizard universe and experience it first hand. Unfortunately, there is no such game at the moment.

The other day I was having a Lucid Dream, when I stumbled across the Sorting Hat. I cheekily put the thing on my head where it whispered [COLOR="green"]Slytherin[/COLOR] into my ear. After that it dawned on me, I could use my Lucid Dreams as a way of indulging into my Harry Potter fantasies!
I have devised a little challenge for myself to learn some of the basics spells, charms and potions from the books. Maybe even fly a broom or two!
Now this is a personal goal for me but I feel like I should share these ideas with you, just in case anyone is interested.

The goal is to complete a set of tasks and earn points for your house!

[SIZE="4"][CENTER][B]Get Sorted![/B][/CENTER][/SIZE]

First thing to do is to get sorted into a house. The four houses in Hogwarts consist of [COLOR="#8b0000"]Gryffindor[/COLOR], [COLOR="orange"]Hufflepuff[/COLOR], [COLOR="#4169e1"]Ravenclaw[/COLOR] and [COLOR="green"]Slytherin[/COLOR]. First year students are arranged into these houses by wearing the Sorting Hat.

Find the Sorting Hat in your next Lucid Dream and find out what house you are destined to be in. Afterwards post an extract of your dream journal here as evidence of your progress. Please be honest as possible! Whatever the Sorting Hat tells you is FINAL. You cannot swap houses :D

[SIZE="4"][B][CENTER]House Challenges[/CENTER][/B][/SIZE]

Once you know which house you belong to you can then proceed to the house challenge! The set of tasks vary depending on which House you are in. Please only complete the challenges within your own house!
Once you have completed the task in your Lucid Dream post an extract of your Dream Journal here on this thread as evidence and I will then add points to the appropriate house! You can complete the tasks more than once but they MUST be in separate dreams in order to count.

You will also need to locate your wand.

I believe that in the books it just meant that you can choose your house for the first time... Like how Harry was going to be in Slytherin, but he said he didn't want to be in that one so he got put in Gryffindor. I would imagine you could get your dream sorting hat to do something similar for you.

**NrElAx** · 12-01-2011 09:12 PM

I know at the end of the last movie, harry says that the whole hat choosing your house was actually influenced by the person wearing it. So whatever house you wanted to be in, the hat chose that.
