Re-bump
....14 month epic bump?
I remember reading this before I joined, and it was actually quite a good incentive for me to get lucid, something to do at least. Unfortunately, the one time I actually remember looking for the place ended in a massive tidal wave wiping everything out. Which was a shame. And I guess I kinda forgot about it after that.
BUT it is a very cool idea, which I shall definately be trying now I've got back into this whole lucid dreaming lark. Though I'll probably just be sticking to the basics of 'old abandoned mansion on an island with monsters 'n' shit' rather than try and implement all the complications that followed.
Hahhaha massive bump man. I wanna I have not read the op but i wanna try this lol.
Thread got bumped!

I would have PM'd conisag but he hasnt been on since 2008 so...
How is anyone supposed to remember all the details of this place?
It's so specific that certain rooms have special things in them. Wouldn't we all have to be VERY VERY good lucid dreamers to do this?
I think it'd be much better/easier to strip it down to its basics, forget the specifics. So rather than have specific rooms set up with specific things, just let the mind run wild. I think even if you were very good at lucid dreaming, it'd be extreeemely hard to have the right number of rooms with the right number of things in and everything. I'm jus gunna try and stick with the whole idea of some rooms are good, some rooms are bad, and some rooms are in between. I think the fun in this is seeing what your mind comes up with.
Unless you are VERY, VERY good at lucid dreaming of course, in which case you can try and keep to the specifics. To each their own.
Yeah that's true. I hope I can do this in a dream soon.
ok i tried to do this rpg look what ive found:
i was with a guy holding a gun and everything went slow mo, and then i thought, that only happens in nightmares!then i became lucid, i was teleported to my house and i was trying to find a way to enter the island, i created a PC and it was an bealtiful island wallpaper , i entered it and there was a wooden door, i opened it and everithing went dark and giant hands appeared , lol, i got rid of them easily with telekinesis, then armies of medieval characters began to emerge and with them a giant bronze statue walking , i made them levitate and smashed them on the ground, more began t appear, appeared demons , and sort of things and i was using a power to crush their organs, they where dying instantly, then i tried to do a kamehameha and i failed, in fact i tried 3 times, and there was some guys reaching me and attacking me.
I pushed everyone and tried to create a sword, i failed too, then i tought: if i cant create one i can get one from the dc, i killed a knight and got his sword, i ran to the enemies like a samurai and i was killing everyone till they stopped to appear, then i walked, and there was like an door in a boat, in the door was written: Kokiri Thief (i thought : wtf, zelda?) i entered and it was dark, i shouted Boost light! and all the lights were on i searched for this thief and i discovered that it was my house and there was a window open, i became confsed if it was a dream or not and then i looked to my hands, my fingers were melted and i thought: yea this is a dream , lol. I was going to jump out of the window to fly and there was somenthing preventing me , i tried to create computers and nothing, somenthing took out all my powers and i woke up
it was a crazy dream lol
Well... Isn't it just like going to the Lucid Crossroad (if you know what that is) or going to a place you know in real life. You've stored knowledge about the place and so you assumed there to be a door on the left of such a hallway 'cause you remember its there and you know that in that specific room, there will be a red bed, a poster of a flying turtle, a window and other stuff. Since you know its there in real life (or in your mind) then its there when you enter it... Sort of like how you can summon people by assuming they will be behind a certain door. Just wondering.
Well I don't know about you, Sleepy, but I don't have that kind of accuracy in my dreams whatsoever, even lucid ones. And I'm pretty sure that's true of most/all people. I mean, I've been in my house in lucid dreams and while it (usually) seems pretty accurate, there are always differences that sometimes I don't pick up on until I'm awake. And that's my house, where I spend a huge portion of my waking life; if my mind can't accurately represent that in my dreams then I've got no hope with somewhere that doesn't actually exist empirically.
I have heard of the lucid crossroads, and while I don't agree on the whole dream-sharing aspect of it, I did think it was a pretty cool place to try and dream up. But, even knowing all the details that were written about it, I know (even though I never actually did dream of it) that my mind's version would be different from what I'd thought it would be from reading.
I also just think the fun is in the surprise. Opening doors, not knowing what's going to be on the other side and so on. If I could imagine the place in it's entirety, down to cracks in the floorboards and spiders in cupboards, even before I've stepped a dream-foot in the place, then a lot of the fun and excitement is gone.
Although each to his own.
Well, I can't say I do since I have always been in unknown places in my lucid dreams. However, I remember as a kid, I had reocuring dreams of certain places. The dreams would be different, but the rooms and things would be at the same place. They'd maybe change but I never realized since I wasn't so much focused on my dreams at that time, I simply remembered them. So now, I expect that maybe I could make myself places like that, places that stay stable and are almost always the same.
Me too, I don't believe in share dreams, leave out that the lucid crossroads would be an actual place where people can meet but I did like its other aspects. never went though.
Yes, the surprise is fun but I also like stability. I don't like the fact that I could be in a forest and then turn around and be somewhere completly different and then turn again and be on an iceberg. Well, I'd like it, but I prefer coherent things. I like when a dream makes a story. If I was in a cool room and went down a hallway to another room that was not as interesting, I'd like being able to go back to the room... If you get what I mean. But, I do enjoy openning a door and see what's on the other side for the surprise.
I actually did that before you even planned it!
I used weapons, and kicked alot of alien butt!
Linking when i found link..
EDIT: Here it is :D http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=78035
Pretty funny concept, I'll have to give it a try.
I want in. Start a website man this is epic, you could make some serious coin.
Ya HP would be cool in a lucid dream I've had a weird power bar thing appear and it was going down and when it hit 0 i woke up so maybe when I attempt this I can make a hp bar appear :Dbtw very creative idea love it
Oh no you didn't!
Well the subject is interesting, so it deserves immortality, or at least rejuvenation.
This is really amazing xD

i wish i could have found this thread when it first started... it's a really cool idea and even though i probably wouldn't have been able to do it with my nooby LDing, it would have been fun to be involved. I'm going to start looking for some more games!
If I have a lucid dream tonight, I'll try to do your adventure game. I'm going to be the Avatar (from the show Avatar: The Last Airbender) and own them with the four elements. I haven't changed the scenery yet, but I'll give it a go.
I'm surprised this is 3 years old and nobody has beaten it. lol
