Need Ideas for ADVANCED tasks.

I need a little help coming up with some advanced lucid tasks. I can currently do any of the super power stuff, so fly to the moon, or transform into a dragon, are not the kind of ideas I am after.

I am also not looking for ultimate control challenges.

Here are two examples I consider too advanced for me to handle in the short term, but they are long term fantasy goals of mine. 1)Divide my conciousness into two such as 2 seperate koi fish and observe from both prospectives at one time 2) develop direct control over my astral travel in a reliable way. So, that stuff is more advanced than I need.

I will give you the two ADVANCED tasks, I have come up with to challenge myself. Please add any you can think of. The goals should not involve violence as I am a yogi (not into killing and such) and should be usefull in developing some aspect of dream control.

1) Cause plants of a specific type (Tomatoes, and Banannas) to grow from the ground and sprout into fully developed plants that bear the proper fruit. The plants should look correct, and then the fruit should be eaten and have a realistic tecture and taste. (Very close to completion, see DJ)http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/siva...es-totm-48476/, .http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/siva...ng-task-48786/

2) Summon or come upon a pyramid at least the size of a truck. Use TK to lift it from the ground and ballence it on its tip. Then cause the upside down pyramid to spin like a top.

I look forward to any suggestion you may have that seem to be about the same level of difficulty.

Thanks everyone!!!

try constructing a kingdom filled with subjects and such. you could also try having it develop whilst you're awake and have some degree of consistentcy

Meditate within a lucid dream. It's more difficult than it sounds. However, if you can accomplish it, then you'll instantly gain a lot more control.

I'll give you a hint. You need something to anchor yourself in the dream while you shut out everything else. Some anchor to their own breath. Some anchor to a mantra. I have anchored to the feeling of being under a waterfall to some success. The best one I found was to anchor to the sensation of falling. It's very strong, it requires no input from you, and you won't ever "hit" anything because you are clearing your mind of expectations.

When you were a kid did you ever grow the Magic Rocks? You know, the metal-salts that you put in the water and in a few hours you have a crystal garden? I think it would be neat to control the growth of something like that.


Have you swallowed fire?


Ever try solving equations or riddles? Math is fun in lucid dreams, in my opinion, if only to manage to keep things mentally straight and have them make sense.


Ever tried walking backwards? Or running? How about speaking backwards?


Can you walk in your own mind and activate your own motor controls?


How about switching the face of a DC but allowing them to keep their normal voice? Could you make that happen?

Thanks MelanieB, I like the magic rocks idea. Maybe something like this: Grow 3 crystals one at a time, each in a different crystal type pattern, one in each primary color, and keep all three in the visual field until completed.

I am not sure what you mean about the walk in your own mind/ motor control thing, could you expand on the idea so I understand.

Being able to do some form of math may be a challenge. Even just reciting the X5 table to 10x5 correctly would be challenging. It would sure build up some cognitive skill.

Meet me in a dream at mid day.
Stonehenge is the place.
I will be sat on top of one of the big blocks, just chilling, waiting for anyone to visit.
There I will show you the best "Advanced Task" you will ever come accross

Perhaps: visit 3 specific mystical places in one dream. have the visuals look somewhat realistic. Stonehenge, great pyramid, Easter Island

Shrink yourself and get eaten by something lower on the foodchain--Magic School Bus style (i.e. after being eaten go learn something about digestion or what have you).

Not bad! Maybe a whole explore the insides like a maze adventure.

Edit: Here we go. Advanced food chain task,,, shrink down and transform into a bug, get eaten by a fish, become that fish after climbing into its brain, get eaten by a sea turtle and become that sea turtle after swimming into its brain.

Perhaps you could sink the floor of a whole city to the level of the basements and have a walk in the underworld "outdoor".

I did not get to your reply before my sleep time.
I managed to get to Stonehenge, but it was very dark there, and could only remain lucid for a short while.
Tonight I will hop / fly from one location to the next looking for you.
Recognising a fellow dreamer is difficult, as they rarely appear as real life.
They manifest as something I consider to be them.
For example,
If I had constant arguements with you, you may appear to me as my 'father in law'
If we often chatted about occult matters, you could appear as a wizard, or mystic.
The same thing goes for you recognising me.
Your low opinion might manifest me as a slug on a stone.
I may appear as my Avatar, which would not be good, if you are scared of mice.
If you think I am a very intellygent, wonderful, charismatic, funny, brilliant, fun person, then I would appear as myself. :lol:
See you later,
Phil


P.S.
Anyone else wanting to show up is welcome, but I get to sit on the top of the pyramid first.

I don't know if you remember, I once told you about I project I was running called "Project Transcendence".
Despite the name, this project was only based on testing the limits of dream control and understanding the behavior of the dream.
I had some pretty magnificent lucids during my time experimenting which I think you would definitely enjoy. Most of the tasks I had gathered went along the lines of the first task you mentioned about dividing you consciousness in two.
One of these weeks I will re-start the project under the name "Project Transcendence II"
If you want I can link you the thread and you may wish to participate there. There will be some great ideas and techniques involved with advanced lucid tasks. If you're up for trying them I'd love to have you as an addition.

I have three suggestions:

1) This is inspired by a concentration-strengthening exercise from Mouni Sadhu: see a pool ball (any number) from all sides simultaneously.

2) My own (weird) visualisation exercise: experience yourself as two separate physical entitites (but with shared consciousness): your normal self, and a tiny ant-sized version of yourself. Let the small version do a "jungle like" trip through the eyebrows of your normal self - using a machete to cut through the thicket, if need be. Feel the experience from both perspectives at the same time.

3) Just a crazy idea off the cuff: Perform a free fall from 100 miles above ground without protective clothing. Experience the friction and its effects on your body. EDIT: Swallow a pain killer first. :cheeky:

I hope I'm not too late to play, but this is an interesting idea. Here are a few suggestions off the top of my head:

* Manifest an object from a previous dream (preferably a NLD), and then think about why you did so, whether you got it right, whether this is actually the object you dreamed, or if you're just remembering it that way.

* Do a search for an old friend -- it must be a friend from way back who you haven't spoken to in a long time, and you must go to him/her, and not bring them to you. Also, after you find the friend, you must be satisfied that you got/created the right person.

* Start a round-table discussion with historic luminaries. You know the drill; sit folks like Einstein, Newton, Gandhi, David Bowie -- whoever you care to invite -- in a comfortable room with lots of refreshments, but this time there's a catch: you must have read at least one book by each guest in waking life (and it's okay if you don't really remember the book). Then start chatting, and don't leave until you've learned something.

That's it for now; if more come to me, I'll add them in. I hope that helped.

Brilliant! All 3 of those are the kind of ideas I am looking for. Attainable assuming a high level of skill, but developing certain new aspects of LDing. Thanks.

^^ Happy to help!

I don't know how advanced could it be, although recently I had an idea which I was trying to perform during a LD. It would be interesting to know if it really works as I think:

Have a DILD and follow the original dream plot avoiding to interfere with its natural course without loosing lucidity, understand every meaning around the dream and realize, if possible, the deep significance of every element present in the dreamscape.

This would be pretty advanced for me. One problem I have after so many years of controlling dreams, is just this. I tend to have almost complete control and it deprives me of the cool interaction with my unconscious mind. I am not saying I never have random elements in my dreams, but out of habit I suppress any ongoing plot and insert one of my own design. I really think you may have a great idea for me here. I am not even sure how I could relax my mind in a way to get back to plots and the like coming from the whole subconscious thing. Food for thought anyways, so thank you very much.

Maybe you could ask a dream character for a helping hand with that. Or ask the dream itself ... how about going to the end of the world, or something (for dramatic effect), and then shout out your desire to the vast emptyness: "Please let me experience a dream of great importance to me!" Or something similar, or more useful.

This is a great idea. I've tried it a few times, I tried it last about 3 days ago. It's actually incredibly advanced to put together every aspect of the challenge, for instance I finally succeeded in following the dream plot a few nights ago in my lucid, I really got immersed and within like 2 minutes I had lost all my attention to detail. I hadn't lost lucidity, just my deep proper understanding of the world around me.
I'd judge myself as almost an expert in dream stabilization by now, so it was weird to just lose attention like that. Following the storyline without intruding takes so much mental effort that you forget to pay attention.
This will definitely be one of my goals from now on.

Here is a task that you might enjoy.

Grow yourself a body, or put one together, and then inhabit it.
You could use telekenesis to put the parts together, or just grow from the ground upwards.

Opposite task would be to dissolve the body you are in.
Do it the same way. Take parts away, until nothing is left except for your free floating spirit.
Or just watch yourself melt away.

My mind is a little messed up, I know.

I would say perhaps our minds are a little messed up.

It's possible to start a very interesting journey with the opposite task you propose, together with all the other tasks proposed in this thread now. This brings me a couple more of ideas which, I think, could be very useful if it's possible to perform them:

-Bring back almost forgotten memories.
-See the dream in slow motion, almost stopped if possible.
-Chain dreams from one night to another without losing their continuity.

P.S. I would start from subatomic levels.

"Bring back almost forgotten memories."

I stumbled on this one a few months ago.
It involves taking two different plants that are banned in some countries. ( Very small quantities )
The combination took me back to when I was at babysitters house, aged 4, and thats 43 years ago
I can now remember the colour of my potty as I was being trained out of nappies.
Lots of other lost memories as well.
Taking the plants in a dream now does exactly the same thing as real life.

I think that could be a great advanced task. I have never done anything like it. Sounds cool.

I would bet money that one of the plants was Salvia. It is a weird chemical that hit totally different parts of the brain/neurons. Time distortion and seeing the past happens to almost everyone.

I need you to do me a favour.
Ask the higher cells in your body 'What power source they use to replicate, or do repairs to other damaged cells'
If you get an answer similar to mine, you are ready for the next stage of dreaming.
I chickened out, and chose to go back to the beginning, losing most of my dream control skills along the way.
You will know what I am talking about, if you get a good reply.

There I go again talking like some silly, half robed, nutter, sitting half way up a mountain.

So walking around in your own mind...I was imagining you would create a visual hall or space that is the inside of your own mind, and then visit the various areas that the brain controls or experiences. The hall of bad memories, the room of sexual wishes, or a theater containing the best visuals from your waking experiences. Then visit the parts of your brain that control your hands and legs and see if you can activate them so that your real-life body moves even slightly.


Have you ever explored the dreams you had when you were a kid? I used to have a lot of dreams about traveling through pipes as a kid and I would like to explore them in a lucid dream. Do you think you could revisit those memories? I was thinking this and saw TiredPhil's post but I wouldn't recommend the substances. ;)


I spent last night having lucid sex, but it was a dream that had a timeline spanning some 50 years and involved living a life active in politics. I gave speeches and campaigned for various human rights...and I was successful. Could you control a lucid dream that started when you were a young age (say a young teen) and live a different life that involved making a major impact on the world? What positive things would you like to create in that scenario? I think that sums up the true value of dreams for the human species, making the world a better place, and controlling a lucid to give you room to explore those possibilities is a worthy pursuit, imho.

Long ago, I read someone used to teleport himself to some sort of Hallway with doors on the sides to visit his memories and he was able to remember an accident he had when he was a little kid, or something like that.

I wonder if it would be possible to remember things when we were infants.

I hope this thread does not make anyone dislike me. It may sound a lot like I am a show off,,, I actually can shift my awareness in an LD that reliably allows me to be aware of my body or parts and move in any way I desire. It does risk however me waking up. That is also a plus side, in that I can always wake instantly from an LD if I decide to. Here is a DJ link involving this,09-02-12 DEILD Testing REM atonia - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views


I love the idea of revisiting dreams from early childhood. I still have vivid memories of some reoccuring dreams from back then. Maybe by trying to recreate the feel of these dreams, I could learn something. great idea.

I also like the live an alternate version of my life. I am 42 and have no kids of my own. I never will. Seeing a cool mauntage style dream of me raising children would be intense in all sorts of emotional ways. I am not sure I could handle it, but I know it would be worth doing.

I have decided to take some of these ideas and complete them and post links in this thread when I do one. I completed two in my last LD. I did Melanie's live an alternate life one. That is a life in which I had children. It actually turned out very emotional and sad. It seems my inner self thinks I would have been very unhappy, got a divorce and become an alcoholic my daughter pitied. Still a worthy task and one that was creative and unlike anything I have done before, so thank you Melanie for the suggestion.

The other task was the second one I listed in the OP. That is find a pyramid at least as big as a truck, use TK to lift it,, flip it onto its point and spin it like a top. This went well but was not nearly as interesting as the first one. Here is the link if anyone is interested, http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/siva...e-oh-my-49019/ Warning,,, it is my DJ post for an LD that spanned perhaps 45 minutes, so I have put the task part in bold, to make it easy to find those parts. The whole dream is interesting though.



I also think I will try the idea of growing crystals. I will just settle for growing 3 crystals each of a different structure in red, blue and yellow, but drop the idea of keeping all three in the visual field.
I also liked the food chain idea, so I would like to start as any small creature, get eaten by a bigger, which I then become. And so on for at least 3 creatures.
I liked the visit Stonehenge idea, but will add to it. Visit 3 places Egyptian Pyramid, Stonehenge, and Mayan Pyramid all in one dream, with somewhat realistic visuals.

Thanks for the ideas everyone. Feel free to offer up any more that come to mind.

Recently I have started a project of my own which involves something similar and I think it could fit in this thread: Recall something you cannot remember at all and apparently completely forgot from your infancy, it could be something you used to play with, an event, a dream, etc. Make sure it's a genuine recall.

I have a variant for this one (the opossite way): Jump into the Amazonas river and be eaten to the bones by starving piranhas, spread your consciousness on every individual and look for a dying one, and so on.. just ensure the body must be eaten by smaller creatures, cannibalism is not allowed :).

Hi again, I am just updating. I completed the food chain task. I did this in 3 dreams, but the first was not vivid enough for me, the second only involved two species. The third worked. Here they are, 1:TOTM Shark - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 2:A Swim as an Eel - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 3:Completed an Advanced Dream Goal - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I think I am going to try the grow three types of crystals in 3 different colors one next.

Any new ideas are still welcome.

Spin in place for 10+ minutes.

Harder than it sounds--for quite a few reasons (including this one.) ;-P

Might make me feel ill.

I am totally bookmarking this here thread. Can't wait to try some of this stuff out :cheeky:

I'm trying this one for a time now and it looks pretty advanced for me:

Rise the mood of a city from a normal day to the day of the Carnival celebration party. Join a group with exotic costumes, wear a devil costume and participate in the great avenue parade, with dancers, musicians, street sellers, etc. Enjoy the party.

A cool advanced task to do is learning how to transform into something else as quick as possible. No gimmicks, just straight out. My favourite method is just squeezing my muscles and feeling my shape instantly change. It can be tougher to do than you think.

Close your eyes for 10+ seconds. This can make you wake up, but after practice, you should be able to realize that waking up shouldn't depend on what you do with your dream body. The dream world should be perfectly stable. I am still working on this one. I can close my eyes and teleport most of the time. I normally don't try it if the dream world seems iffy.

Take a sample of tissue from someone around you, use an electron microscope to capture an image of the cells under the skin, and see if you can walk within the cell.

BONUS: Strum the chromosomes like guitar strings and shred into mitosis~

The combination I took did not involve salvia, but the effects are very similar.
Salvia trips last 10 mins, max. This lasted six hours.
I was not prepared at all for the experience, so only got a few details through.
If I knew in advance what was going to happen, I could have had a gameplan prepared.
A weekend trip to amsterdam could get me the ingredients again, but some memories need to stay in the past.
United States government would put you in jail for what is fully legal in other countries.
That is the main reason for not divulging the ingredients.

This one is of intrest to me. Sounds like fun and involves creating lots of details and effects, plus also allowing randomness in the crowd. Thanks, I may try this.

Just an update. I did an Advanced version of this, ie: cause 3 different forms of crystal to grow, one in each primary color. It is posted here, Crystal Growing Advanced Task - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Thank you MelanieB for the idea! This was very fun and a great way to push my skills. This one is worth reading.

I also attempted one based one TiredPhil's post ie: Visit three mystical places, including Stone Henge all in one dream. I woke up befor getting much results. I hope to not teleport t the locations or just create them (just as a challenge). Here is the failed attempt, Travel to 3 Mystical Places Advanced Task Attempt. - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Thank you for your help with this everyone! So far I plan on completing this travel task, and then doing the most recent suggestion of creating a whole city wide carnival event, complete with cool DCs (fire eaters, pie sales men and so on).

Keep the ideas coming!

One idea I had is similar to some things already discussed here and it comes from a conversation I was having with fogelbise the other day... Shift your consciousness to "possess" another dream character, taking over their body and seeing from their perspective. You could try to incorporate the possessed DC's thoughts or memories with your own (could be very unpredictable if it's possible), split your consciousness to do this while maintaining your original dream body, or inhabit multiple DCs at the same time.

Box mentioned chaining dreams from different nights, I really like that idea. It's something I've been wanting to do long before I knew about LDs but I have only managed to do it in the same night when I wake up and go back to sleep, with limited success. I also liked the idea about creating / dissolving a dream body.

This might not be advanced enough for you but you may be able to tweak the idea into something that will work for you... The situation is that I have major problems in LDs with people fighting me and I've been trying different methods to avoid it when I'm not in the mood. Last night in a dream I was about to get in a fight (well I kind of already was but it wasn't violent yet -- I was fending off 3 DCs with a water hose) and I was able to touch a DC's forehead and change his intentions, he simply walked away. In another part of that dream I basically dismembered a DC who had attacked me, another DC saw me do that and freaked out. I touched her in the same way that I described and she calmed down and also walked away. Apparently I need to work on that because later the two DCs I had touched showed back up and were acting erratically like I had accidentally scrambled their brains or something. Oops.

I liked @luke396's lucid accomplishment about forcing a DC to age rapidly. Last night I got my 4 y.o. daughter's DC to grow until she was around 10-12 y.o. It was a pretty interesting experience.

I think it could be adapted into a more advanced task: Force an entire city to age rapidly for around 500 years or more. It should include not just DC's but buildings, trees, animals, plants, etc. The selected time should exceed the human's average life span and even any known long-lived time for a human on earth to see what your mind comes up with.

Heres an idea: create fractal patterns in the clouds, then enter them. Or perhaps you could try to recreate a piece of art you like from waking life as accurately as you can. (perhaps copy a version you summon to your dream?)

Heres another idea. Transform yourself into a wisp of smoke and then create and enter 3D fractal designs within yourself and see how long you can keep going. (this is a variation of my last idea)

Hey, now this sounds interesting. I will keep it in mind. Thanks.

Here's another idea: do the waltz with a translucent ghost. :)

Ask a dream character for an advanced task. You could conjure up Einstein, Ghandi, or an alien etc....
Use a character that, in your mind, has wisdom, and honesty.
Take your time choosing the person to be asked. Make a short list, then choose between them.
If you are having difficulty choosing someone to ask, just ask your subconcious to choose for you.
If this does not work, summon them all up at once, and get a discussion going with them.

Oh yes, we want some reports on your progress so far.

I have done 4 or 5 tasks from this thread I think. The most recent dreams are linked to in posts #32 and #42

#42 has a link to an attempt at a task inspired by your Stone Henge idea.

Update: I can not find where this was originally suggested, but I did remember to do it. So here is one more accomplished, that is aging a DC rapidly, Angel Wings, and Dream Guide Things - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Actually it's in @Luke396's signature which I curiously read because of sometimes I find interesting ideas in such signatures.

Apparently forcing a DC to age rapidly is not that difficult. But once I accomplished it (until the age I needed because of she was running too slow), I was wondering for something that could challenge your mind, and asked myself what about if I force a DC to age more than a possible life time for a human!? Then I came up with the idea for an advanced task to force an entire city (including living and non-living stuff) to age rapidly for more than 500 years which is actually my suggested advanced task.

-Go back in time to the World War II era. This is already a hard task as its hard to imagine what things would look like and how they would work.
-Join the army. Whichever country you'd like.
-Apply to become a tank operator.
-Enjoy some very intense and very fun tank battles.

Sorry if this isn't hard enough, I just love tanks. :cheeky:

Here is one I am going to try for myself.
Start with a single celled organism, and watch it go through millions of years of evolution.
From the multi celled sea creature, then onto land, then as small mammal, then onto primate.
Through the many stages of evolving until you get to modern man.
Sounds like an easy task as all the information is available, but here is the catch. See what comes next in our line.
Depending on your beliefs, the results should be quite an eye opener, or highly amusing at the least.

Try manipulating matter. Turn the Earth inside out, control gravity, go into space and play with the planets.

It's Duke, but close enough :p

I read Sivason's DJ about that, not the same direction I went in mine but still cool. In mine the DC was already probably mid 20s and was attacking me with a couple others, and I used the forced rapid aging to transform him into a frail old man (like 90 y/o) complete with a long white beard who lost the desire and ability to fight. Needless to say, his buddies were a little freaked about that and didn't stick around.

I definitely like the idea of aging an entire city though. I want to try it but I'm too busy struggling with bad clarity or partial lucidity to go for it right now. Every time I have a "lucid" dream I just seem to go along with the original plot even though I "know" it's a dream, and use what little control I have to gain the upper hand against DCs or situations. I think I ranted about that in a recent DJ entry.

It would be interesting to visit many different historical events.

Sorry Duke, next time I will copy/paste to be sure...

Back on topic, I got two more tasks to have some advanced fun:

1. Run inside a room like it is a hamster wheel and see where you get after some running. Try not to expect a destination place.

2. Switch into a sort of 'Rover nano robot' and take a trip inside the blood stream of a living creature of your election.

It's cool Box, lol.

That hamster wheel idea gave me one too: walk from the floor to the wall to the ceiling while maintaining the sense of direction and gravity like you're upside down and sticking to the ceiling as opposed to reversed gravity or rotated room.
