I just had an idea. WouldnŽt it be cool if you could "play" an RPG using lucid dreaming?

You could do it like this:
First, draw a map, like an iland. Then make details to it, like draw villages, towns and cities, dungeons, roads, lakes, mountains etc. Make sure you remember everything about that map, make it slowly, and consentrate. Then just pick a place where you would like to start your adventure from, something like a prison. The next time you LD, try to teleport to this place. Now, you need a lot of dream control, but the next step is to stabilize this world. First of all, stabilize the dream itself. Then set "the rules"...
Make sure that the physics are right, so that everything acts just like IRL. Then, make yourself powerless. DonŽt use any dream control. You only have your weak dream body, that you can physically use to affect things.
After everything is realistic and stable, you can begin your adventure.

Now, remember this: When you begin, you may have something like prison clothes, or maybe just old clothes and a knife or something. In order for you to get better, youŽll have to gather money to buy better gear. You get money by doing quests and selling loot to merchants. You can also train yourself to be a better fighter etc.

Try not to end your LD in this world just by waking up. Go to sleep in a bed or something when you feel you might be waking up.

When you wake up, youŽll write down any new items you have, any increased skills, your money, your quest status and your location, your rank in a guild, and you write down if someone is trying to kill you..

If you die, you can restart the whole RPG or find a less rough solution.

AND IT GETS BETTER:
Note: I do not believe in shared dreaming.
You and maybe one or even more people could adventure in the same world. This is tricky, because ofc you wonŽt actually be together. So youŽll have to find a way around that. Here is an idea on how to do that:
First you try to LD. In your dream you have your friend as your companion. When you wake up, youŽll tell your friend his status, like where he was when you last saw him etc. Then your friend LDs and does the same thing to you.
This is just a simple idea on how to do that.

Maybe even entire communities could do this, like dreamviews. This is again harder, but just to give you the idea:
We could create two factions. Each could do special missions in this world (there would be a world map somewhere so everyone knows the world). Whenever a member of a faction succeeds in a mission, he gains points to his faction. And these points make your faction stronger... for example we could decide that there are 8 major cities. The more points a faction has compared to the other, the more cities it has. And cities have shops etc..



Now, remember, that was just a rough explanation of what I mean, just to give you the idea of what I mean. I think that the "guide" I just made ainŽt nearly perfect. It just gives the idea of what I mean.

So what do you thing about this?
