I wasn't entirely sure where to post this thread so I figured it would be fine here. I read quite a while ago about the possibilities of building a dream world which you can return to every time you are lucid. Initially the idea didn't spark much interest in me but for the last couple of weeks it's started to appeal to me more so I have decided to attempt building my own. I entitled this Project Eden. I figured Eden was a good name after the Garden of Eden, even though I am not religious but I like the idea of it.

I've drawn out a lot of my dreams and I thought it would be good to try and draw out the kind of things I want in Eden. I've also started using Unreal Development Kit (a games engine) to map out and build certain parts of it. There are a few areas I have in mind as well as a few dream characters I wish to feature in the world. I also have two ways of entering Eden.

When I become lucid I will try and find a door and when I open the door I will end up on the beach. I figured the beach area I have designed seems like a good starting point for Eden as it's quite simple and my brain won't have to remember or generate as much.

The second way is when I become lucid I will find a mirror and pass through it and end up in the forest. My reason for this is as a kid my sister told me she followed a fairy into my mums room and it took her through the mirror into a forest. Therefore this has quite a lot of meaning for me.

Last night was the first night I managed to get to Eden. I entered the dream via DEILD and so was lucid pretty much straight away. I was in a large building with many doors and so decided to try and get to Eden. The first few times when I opened the door they just led to different rooms but I kept on trying and kept on believing and then when I opened a door it led to the beach. I walked through and was pretty awe struck by it. It didn't look exactly how I planned it out or drew it but I figured something like this would take time so I wasn't annoyed. Some of the things I designed were there but there were loads of extra things too. As I walked a long the beach I found a DC who told me he knew this wasn't what I had planned but he could help me build it just how I want it. I call this guy The Architect. After that I can't remember much. I think I woke up or lost a lot of awareness.

So that's what I have achieved so far. I'm pretty excited about this.
