Lucid Dreaming Skill Tree

[Gokeiken]

Just something I want to share how to “train” dream control. As a gamer, I was always fascinated with your character progression via skill trees or something similar. It is showing how your character is getting stronger and better. Lucid dreaming was perfect to use this kind of progression on me for all kinds of different skills - in dreams of course. I created this Lucid dreaming skill tree https://imgur.com/gallery/LUHg3DD to improve my dream control and also to improve my lucid dreaming experience. How it “works”? It starts with giving yourself a quest. This means that you need to specify what you are going to do in your LD before you go to sleep. Example for beginners: I will fly for at least 5 seconds. - Completing this quest gives you 1 point in category Movement -> Flying To give myself a point, I colored the circle below the icon with light blue color. When I filled all 5 circles with a light blue color, I repainted them with next-level color. Colors are in the cloud of the sleeping icon in the middle. But you can give yourself in a different way. Giving yourself a quest helps you with focusing on that thing you are going to do when you start LD. As you know the intention to do something is very powerful while obtaining LD. You can also imagine how you are going to do it before you go to sleep. I never had more than 3 “active” quest. Don’t clutter your mind with too many objectives. However, you can have a quest with 2 goals. Example: While flying I will shoot fireballs from my hands. - Completing this will give you one point in Movement -> Flying and one point in Magic -> Fire LD Skill Tree: In the middle, we have passive skills. These skills are essential for lucid dreaming. Below is a quick overview of skills. It does not tell you how to do it, just what you can do. Stabilization - You need to stabilize your LD or else you will lose it. Self-control - Remain calm and stay present in LD Exploration - Explore an environment around you without changing it Waking from LD - Wake up when you end your LD to keep your memory of dreams fresh. Category Movement: Flying - Fly through the sky Through wall - Go through the wall Fast movement - Move beyond “human” speed Teleport - Go from point A to B in an instant Category Magic: Fire, Water, Earth, Air - Control these elements Summon item - Summon specific item. Maybe a car or just a stick Telekinesis - move objects with your mind Summon animal - Summon specific animal Category Changes: Weather - from a sunny day to the rainy day Gravity - play with gravity. See how other objects will move with it Time dilation - Slow down time, or speed it up Shapeshifting - Change the shape of your body, or become an animal of your choosing Category Human: Summon character - summon specific person. Maybe a dead relative or your favorite movie star Conversation - Speak with dream characters Mind control - Control fellow DC with your mid Category Playing: Play an instrument - Summon a guitar and start playing it Play a sport - Be a part of your favorite sport team Create music - Create music out of thin air Category Other: Sex - yes you can “do” it Travel - go to your favorite destination or an imaginary one Create an environment - Create landscape, from rivers to mountains Talk to the subconscious - Talk with your mind, see that it tells you Talk to animal - Ever talked to a horse? Try it. Category Story: Follow a story - just follow a story that is happening Create a story - create your own story Relive a memory - relive your favorite memories Timetravel - travel back in time to see the pyramids… or into the future There are probably also other things you can do. I still didn’t do all the things but it helped me a lot when trying to control my LD.

I really like these ideas you present, especially the quest thing, and makes me want to brew something of my own!
