A new Academy is opening! The Dream World Academy!

[KingYoshi]

Come one, come all, to the brand new, Dream World Academy. This will be a fun way to get our community involved in a mass project. We hope this project can help inspire members to really get into lucid dreaming, the community, and of course, the DVA. Now, let me introduce you to the Dream World Academy... Welcome the Dream World Academy! The Dream World Academy is located in, you guessed it, the Dream World. Not much is known about the Academy as of now, but that is where you (the dreamers) come in. We want you to help us discover what exactly is within the walls of this Academy, where it came from, and why it is suddenly appearing again. We thought this project would be a good way to bring the DVA community together and provide a little extra inspiration for lucid dreaming. This is all just for fun. Concept Basically, the Dream World Academy is a castle located in the dream world. The idea, is for members to visit the Academy in their dreams and report back what they found. Your first-hand accounts will help shape the layout, as well as the history behind the Academy. As the castle is explored though your dreams, we will keep record of the castle layout in a "Blue Print" thread. Also, the things you find and the activities you take part in, may help shape the history of the Academy itself. We will gradually release the story surrounding the Academy as we go. Your dreams will help mold this as well. Rules/Additional Information - You must first visit the castle within your dream. Then post your dream in the "Visitor Recollection" thread. The dream must also be posted in your dream journal here on Dream Views. So, basically, it will follow along the lines of the Task of the Month requirements. - Lucid and Non-lucid dreams can count towards the creation of the castle, but if you are in the Dream World Academy, I'd hope you would become lucid . - You are not bound to the castle alone. You can explore the grounds surrounding the castle as well. Be sure to interact with dream characters as well. They may know secrets about the castle and help aide you in your exploration. - The DVA staff involved in this project will then use your dreams and experiences to shape the castle and its story. Some things may be used, while other things may be left out. We will do our best to mesh everyone's experiences together. How to Find the Academy The Dream World Academy is a mystery within itself. Created long ago with the powers of lucidity, the castle has some very interesting qualities. The castle is able to create clones of itself and spread them all across the dream world. It is said that any lucid dreamer seeking the castle can find it waiting for them with open doors. The front door of each castle is actually just a portal to the primary location. These portals are highly advanced and the dreamer will not even notice they have been transported to a new location. So far, we have only been able to locate the castle's clones. The primary location is unknown and many wonder if it is even in the same dimension as the dream world. In addition to the clones that can appear, the castle also has random portals set-up throughout the dream world. These portals also appear as doors. Be sure to check any door you come across as it may be a hidden portal to the Dream World Academy. Simply open the door and see if it has lead you to the interior of the castle. Not much is known about these doors. They seem to be scattered all across the dream world and can be disguised as any type of door. They seem to transport dreamers to various sections of the castle, not only the main entrance. It is thought that other portals to the academy may be disguised as cave entrances, tunnels, etc. Story The story will be released, periodically, in episodes. Much like an anime series, t.v. series, etc. It will be a fictional story shaped by the dreams of those who have visited the Academy. There will be a specific thread set up for these episodes. As these episodes are released, you will learn the history of the Academy itself along with other entertaining developments. Academy Newsletter The academy newsletter will contain short write-ups/paragraphs of info that doesn't tie into the story. For example, a dreamer meets Abe Lincoln while exploring the Academy. We will then write-up, "President Lincoln Visits the Castle" and have a brief article about it. That way, we can work in some of the silly stuff as well . This will be a separate thread. Blueprint Here we will describe the discovered rooms of the castle in detail. The more dreamers explore the castle, the more we learn about the layout. Everything will be recorded in this thread. Side Quests These will be Academy related tasks set up for your enjoyment. There will be a wide variety of these side quests that range from basic level to advanced. Check them out in this thread. This will be opening/getting started in the near future. Be sure to check back here in the DVA for updates!

And after a while someone should make this into a movie It will be much better than inception.

[Solarflare]

Thats a sick idea, ill try

[Snorlax]

Wow! Great idea guys, sounds like a blast.

[dacher2]

thats awesome and then when I go to the academy there willl be dream teachers there to help me with my goals. Each dream teacher will just be a big floating talking ball telling me how to reach my goal and how they will help me if I cant do it. because I don't know what my dv teachers look like in real life. For ex: you decide to work on a goal of flying while there, but you can't do it. So one of the castle teachers grows huge ripped arms and picks you up and puts wings on you, or puts a parachute on you and throws you so well that you don't start to fall for like 10 dream minutes.

Awsume ideaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Taffy]

This sounds really fun. The best part is that all of us dreamers shape what happens next.

[Atras]

This is pretty cool. Haha I tried to start something similar to this a while ago, but everyone was like nah that won't work >.<

[insideout]

Awesome. I would like to take part in this in some way. I will start by finding the academy in a lucid dream.

[Atras]

I will attempt to find the castle tonight! Wish me luck.

[Matte87]

I tried getting there last night but my teleportation attempt failed. What I intend to do, is to first visit my very own room within the academy. Have a teleportation pad of some sorts in it so that I can start from there each time I visit the place. I will also fill the room with all the things I've managed to find during my lucid adventures. There's going to be a bowl of dreamfruit on a table along with my samurai sword for example. I hope most of you guys participate in this! It's going to be rad.

[hashmash89]

Cant wait to visit the castle Awesome idea, should be a lot of fun. Like matte my first intention is to find my room in the academy.

[KingYoshi]

Sounds awesome everyone! We look forward to reading your visits !

[Atras]

I Became lucid three times lAst night but my attempt to get to the castle failed. Mostly because my dream kept destabilizing. I don know why but lately I've had really short ld's even when I use the proper stabilization techniques

[Dreamer95]

This sound AWESOME, I really really hope I can remember to visit!!

[insideout]

Last night I had a lucid dream and attempted to find the academy castle. For anyone interested, here is my dream journal entry about it, with a drawing of what I saw: LINK

[A_Citrus]

I think I might have found the castle! In a non-lucid fragment I recalled, I was in a room in what I think was a tower in the corner of a big dark castle.

[KingYoshi]

Awesome everyone! I shall take a look, inside. I've been away from the site for a week or so. I am back now and plan on rocking everything out tonight. So, we should have the forum up and running soon.

[Karlitaki]

OMG ! , Thats the best idea i saw and very awesome thread.......... kingyoshi thank u man i will visit u in the castle being stoned and teaching me some Telekinisis and rolling da ganda

[dakotahnok]

I want a bedroom at the top floor. I want a really big one. So we can host parties up there. MY ROOM WILL BE THE PARTY ROOM

[Raphael]

There's gonna be some definite inappropriosity up in here.

[Kaira]

Ooh! Awesome idea! If I manage to become lucid then I'll try visiting there. ^_^

[Oneironaut Zero]

I love this. I've been looking for the right thing to get me back in the swing of things. This sounds like something I'd really like to work toward. I'll do what I can, to participate.

[ooflendoodle]

It seems like a good idea to have a sub-forum for this possibly in user forums (I think it's called) that way we could have the episodes, layout and story all in one place while still having different threads. Also I'll try to get here but it might not be my highest priority, if I do get there I'll let you know.

[INeverWakeUp]

I want a bedroom at the top floor. I want a really big one. So we can host parties up there. MY ROOM WILL BE THE PARTY ROOM I'm bringing strippers. LOL
