Thread: Dreaming Cheat Codes!

NOTE: This is just an idea, I'd be glad if you were to help me improve it
So I got a nifty little idea the other day!
What if controlling your dream would be as easy as entering a cheat code?
I was originally going to make this idea into my signature but I thought it would be better if the community would help! Please tell me if this is a good idea or not, and feel free to add on to this!

Main idea: Inserting specific numbers(cheat codes) into a device (microwaves, caluclators, cell phones, ect.) would give you the desired effect.

Spoiler for Real Codes :D:

Spawn a turtle= Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start

[example] Number Codes:
No Gravity / Fly = 619
Teleport to a random location = 737
Invisibility = 459
Change to daylight = 482
Change to nighttime = 819

These are just a few for now. I am wondering if anybody has any suggestions on how to remember the codes? Maybe insert a pattern into them so we can find out what numbers to press in a dream if we forget?

Post suggestions/feedback!

Perhaps maybe you could summon this phonebox and call the "dream number" to hook up with a "dream operator" who you would then tell you what you wanted to happen.
--By dream number I meant like an individual number. Such as calling 911 will reach you to an emergency operator. Say calling 619 would connect you to the dream operator every time.

As Mancon stated, you could also use more letter-based commands to do these.

It's a very cool idea. I bet if you believed that the numbers will do that, it will happen. Maybe you could some for certain aspects of stabilization as well.

I would suggest using actual words instead of random, or even patterned, numbers, it would be much easier to remember. You could use 'noclip' or 'fly' to fly, and 'godmode' or 'invincibility' for invincibility. Maybe you have to enter in a numerical code to 'activate' the 'cheat engine' in your subconscious, then you could type any command and it would work.

It would work great for people who play a lot of games (and cheat :p).

Yeeeeeahhh!

Whatever you use make sure you put "up, down, left right, up, down, left, right" at the end hahah.(reference from Grand theft auto in case no one gets it)

Thats a really cool idea man. If it were me, like mentioned above, i would never remember random numbers. The best way i think i could do that in a dream would be to summon a phonebox. Type out the command i wanted on the numberpad (obv using the letter alternatives) and have an operator on the other end of the line say "code confirmed" or something. Kind of like the matrix. I'm gonna try it out

Yeah numbers don't sound a great way to go, especially since most technology doesn't work as desired in dreams, for most people.

Change to daylight = 482
Change to nighttime = 819

How did you come up with these random codes and expect to remember them lol, I couldnt even remember my phone number let alone a long list of 3 digit codes.

You could just say, "Dream, change to daylight" lol

They were randomly generated, I just threw a few together to see if people had any ways to remember them such as patterns. It wasn't intended for the whole list to be memorized, just a few that fit your needs and see what they do

bleh, words and numbers are always scrambled for me... but if that works for you, then go with it ;D

Operator!?
-Yes
Get me to the moon, fast!
-Confirmed


Lol good idea.
You could alsto wear a small device, like in startrek and try the "beam me up scotty"

Telephone booths as portals, brilliant.

Everytime I watch the Matrix it seems to get more rich in lucid dreaming imagery.

I love the idea, and if you think about it lucid dreams are a lot like video games. There are "glitches" in the world, you can be in control of someone else and like you say you could use cheat codes.

Omg lol my lungs hurt..

You could use some sort of watch or bracelet to enter the codes. But I find it really hard to remember things once I'm in a dream.

Why not make a cheat code for that then? Lol.

Genius! I'm so going to try that. Lol.

Remembering things in dreams: "MEMORY," number code: 8825 (I think it'd just be easier to remember the word, though)

When I manage to become lucid enough to attempt control I just cast my desired effects as spells. But then, I have a strong affinity for fantasy stories, much more so than for games.
