I am planning some details ahead of time, have compiled the list of tasks, and I am about to work on reading these over and over again to memorize them so that hopefully even though I have been sick lately I can remember what I need to do.

Spoiler for Dream Log:

The dream started in my room with me sitting up in my bed. Looking around as the dream stabalized I soon became lucid because as is the norm in my dreaming state I was no longer breathing. I confirmed my lucidity by flying through my roof into the night sky. Looking around at the houses below I wondered what I should be doing and then the number 8 came to mind which reminded me that I had 8 tasks I needed to attempt.

I split myself into 2 of me, then 3, 4 and so on until there were 8 me's all floating in the sky. Each time I split myself I made sure to focus and carefully stabalize the dream for each one of me and focused each of them on their own task that needed to be completed. The rush of data coming from 8 separate versions of myself made the dream blurry and out of focus at first but then after focusing things became more clear. I am used to splitting into more than 8 of myself but also focusing on 8 separate tasks at the same time required a bit of effort. We all nodded at each other and with our tasks in mind we each teleported to 8 different places.

All 8 of these dreams took place simultaneously but I'll go into each of them one at a time.

Dream 1:
One of me teleported to new york and for some reason there we no cars, people, or animals within view and the city felt abandoned. Most of what I could see was just a bunch of tall buildings. I transformed into a butterfly and flew towards tallest building I could find. Keeping my task in focus I looked up into the sky with my minds eye and created a field of huge meteors then sent them flying towards the earth.

While the building was pretty large and could have destroyed the meteors since it was a dream it just didn't seem right since there were a lot of them and they were much larger than the building. So for added destruction and fireworks I placed an energy nuke inside the building, picked the whole thing up with my mind and chunked it towards the meteors. After it got close enough I caused the building to smash into a meteor and detonated the nuke filling the whole sky with a massive explosion which I even managed to see from some of my other dreams. With my task completed I allowed myself to fade into the void and refocused my attention into the remaining copies of me.

Dream 2:
Another one of my splits teleported to the moon and summoned Chuck Norris out of the air. I remembered to not get too hasty and let the fight drag on a bit so I lowered my guard then chuck rushed in and started throwing attacks at me. I redirected his attacks so that his strikes would vanish as soon as they got close enough to me and reappear next to his face. I pretty much just let him beat himself up for a while. When this got boring I formed an energy sword in my hand and lit myself on fire then sliced off my own head. I allowed my body to drop to the ground while my floating head started laughing maniacally. Black chains appeared from the ground and wrapped around him holding him still. I then ripped him into many pieces and remembering the secondary task I shook his severed hand.

After that I put him back together and talked to him for a bit. In mid-conversation I sensed the nuke that was about to go off, shielded myself and watched as Chuck Norris melted. Then I just refocused myself out of the dream.

Dream 3:
Another me teleported into deep space where the starwars deathstar battle was taking place. I transformed into Luke's ship and ejected him out into space. I then flew close to deathstar blowing up a bunch of enemy ships on the way using my mind sort of how Neo did when he headed towards the machine city. When I got closer to the deathstar I launched a missile and used my mind to direct it towards the deathstars weak point. The deathstar exploded and I knew that I wouldn't be able to hear the explosion in space but I did somehow feel vibrations and intense heat from the blast on my metal body. With my task completed I self destructed and faded away.

Dream 4:
I was having trouble thinking of a good rival so I ended up summoning Satan and shook his hand for the secondary task. I said, "Looking forward to fighting with you soon." Then I bslapped him in the face and vanished before he had a chance to react. This was the shortest dream and after it finished the other dreams became more detailed.

Dream 5:
This version of me transformed into something like the creature in my avatar. I wondered around in a dark void for a while just flying around. After the devil was summoned into dream 4 I went to a pit full of demonic things to mess with. The place was dark so I just felt them out with my mind and killed some time by beating up a bunch of them hand to hand dbz style.

After I faded out of dream 4 I summoned the devil into the pit then smirked and asked him if he thought he could handle me. He didn't reply so I made him summon a massive army of various demonic critters and then I made many clones of myself and transformed into my own massive demonic clone army. Unlike the splits allowing me to have 8 dreams at the same time these things do not view the dream world from their own perspective and are instead controlled 3rd person like puppets. We had a pretty awesome brutal gorefest of a battle that went back and forth for a while until I decided to get more serious and I completely over powered him and his army with an insane number of clones and some offensive abilities.

Dream 6:
I found myself as the spartan leader in the middle of combat against the persions. A lot of what I saw seemed to come from the movie 300 lol. Me and my men destroyed wave after wave of enemies and stacked up the bodies to better fortify the area. After I had had my fill of gore I summoned the main group of persians with them surrounding us and their leader at the front lines mocking me. I charged in and for some reason disentegrated him with an energy wave(not sure why) then ran charging alone into the bulk of the persian empire allowing them to tear me to peices while I laughed at them like a madman.

Dream 7:
I went to a concert where a lot of people were at and a dragon busted through the wall. Maybe not exactly a fire breathing mutant croc but at least similar. I cut off its head and several more heads grew back in its place so I sliced them off again and sucked him into a mini black hole. A few people at the show got sucked into the hole as well but most or the ppl survived.

Dream 8:
I found myself floating over a tiny island so I landed. I thought of some famous people to shake hands with and up drives a limo. Buddha, Abraham Lincoln, Bill Murray, Albert Einstein, and Bill Cosby all stepped out and walked over to shake my hand. I spoke with them for a little while but the conversation didn't make much sense. After I finished shaking all their hands and talked some more I noticed my nuke going off in the sky so I self destructed taking everyone out with me. XD

After all of my split selves faded away leaving just one of me I thought about everything that happened hoping I did not miss anything. With all my tasks complete I woke myself up immediately so I could start writing everything down.

dang... how do you split like that? sounds hard.

The easy answer is.. After a lot of practice. I have been having LDs and worked towards better controlling my dreams ever since I was around 4 years old(still remember LDs that happened back then) which was 18 years ago.

Other than that it is kind of hard to describe because it is something I can just sort of do now without thinking much into it. It is somewhat similar to the technique Dr. Manhattan uses to split himself. The physics behind it are similar but the effect is pretty much the same with the person using the technique able to be in multiple places at once.

Science behind Dr. Manhattan Youtube Video
Dr. Manhattan
Warning: I think these vids are ok unless I missed something brief but if you look up Dr. Manhattan stuff on youtube there is a lot of mild nudity.

I like using the technique any time I want to do more than one thing at the same time or to increase the amount of time spent in a lucid dream. Say a certain LD lasts 1 hour. If I were to have 2 separate dreams in that hour then I have effectively experienced 2 hours worth of dreaming in a single hour. If I split into 10 separate dreams then I can experience 10 hours worth of dreaming in a single hour.

Also with a little planning beforehand instead of having 10 separate dreams I could experience separate parts of a single dream at the same time but reorder them in my mind so that it feels as if I experienced them one after the other. Picture reading a book with 10 chapters by starting at the beginning of each chapter and reading them all simultaneously then reordering them so that it makes sense as if you had read the book from beginning to end. What this does is let me have one 10 hour dream in only a single hours worth of time.

Combining that with other dream extending techniques I have developed I used to have a bunch of LDs where every night I would go off and train for what seemed like months in a single night of sleep. The problem with this though is that it started to feel like I was spending much more time in the dream world than in reality. Even when I was awake I would be daydreaming a lot of the time. And the problem was losing touch with reality.

hmm... i've decided i'm gonna try that next time i have an LD, but just 2 of me. i have enough trouble multitasking in RL. oh, and you forgot to do the Martian Asteroid Base Infiltration task.

Ah dang I missed that task when I made the list lol. Also if you have trouble separating at first you can possibly make it easier by focusing on vision first so that you can see in 2 separate locations simultaneously. When I split myself into multiple bodies all of my senses are split so that each one of my bodies can see, hear, feel, ect.

I can't understand how you do that...I read the explanation, but how can you really control two bodies at once? You'd need to be fully aware in all places, wouldn't you?

8 different bodies, simply amazing. And yes you need to be fully aware in all places, but that "full awareness" is kind of "split" into all of the different selves. At least it is for me. Its quite difficult to explain it, it was once an advanced task of the month here in DV.

Amazing dreaming skills alter, simply amazing.

I could be a scout! And also im not doing this task because i have a task of my own this week. But maybe i can get it for 50 points next week.

Ok Dakotahnok. But remember all the things you need to do as a scout. And thanks.

acually, i think i want to spend this week practicing. i still think i'll do the secondary task though, if i have a lucid.

just thought of something. i have a suggestion for next week's advanced task: Steal Zeus's lightning bolt and destroy Manhatten with it.

I did the martian task along with the task of the month. Posted the dream in my DJ Here.

While we're on the subject, if you haven't already, you could issue a challenge to explore the sunken city of Atlantis...
Just saying.

If anyone can think of some extremely hard tasks or something let me know. Looking for ideas on ways I can challenge myself with dream control so the more difficult the better.

Alter, a suggestion:
Rule over Earth as God, answering every prayer. What does Heaven look like? What's it like to be omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent?

Sure, I'm in

Hmm I have never done anything quite like that before but I have created entire planets with my consciousness spread out over them. Created my own species of plants and creatures to rule over them. So in a way I have sort of played my own version of god before minus the heaven and answering prayer part. Any place where I would continue to exist eternally would be hell to me. Even heaven. If I could choose where I want to go when I die I would much rather go to a universe of my own design than heaven or hell.

Omniscience would be fairly impossible.
inherent omniscience - the ability to know anything that one chooses to know and can be known.
total omniscience - actually knowing everything that can be known.

But omnipresence and omnipotence I think I can handle.

If i need to could always summon a computer and answer prayer Bruce almighty style lulz.

I was just thinking about that...for every million prayers you answer another three million come in. Good luck with that.

Bruce almighty style. Reply to all: Prayer request denied! Lulz
Set up automatic reply bot to answer all new requests with a big N O. XD

Just to be certain,

Omnipotent = Endless power, to will anything into reality
Omniscient = Knowing all that has, and ever will happen
Omnipresent = Being everywhere at once

If I'm right, I SHOULD be able to do the first 2, am I right?

I dunno about omniscience. What did I eat for lunch today? x,x

Hey I'd love to join.

Since im a scout i think i can let you join, send me a PM of a dream you have used good control on and ill let you know.

Harry potter battle.

I wake up, im in a baseball stand. Its night and no one is there. Im looking around and i find that i have no idea where i am. I think to myself "damn must have been a great night" then i use my every morning nose plug and find that im dreaming. I stand up and now everything is daylight. I start walking and remember that i need to do my LPTC mission. I want to go to a mountain area. I close my eyes and imagine a grassy flat land and then i start to think of areas rising and rock breaking through the earth. Suddenly im there i see a castle that looks like hogwarts. Harry is there firring red balls at a man that resembles voldamort. Black things are swormming the sky. I start using my wand and flicking at them. They fall to the ground like ducks that have been shot. Valdamort shoots a red beam at me i flick my wand at him and his beam vanishes. Then his wand blows up and sends him flying. When i go to were he landed all there was, was a robe.

Then i needed to shake hands with five famous people. i shook and with harry then tried to change the dream scene so i could meet bon jovi. Everything goes dark and i wake up. I plug my nose and couldnt breath.

Should I send one too?

I might be able to get one soon, but my computer broke a while ago and I haven't been able to update anything, and I only made this account because I forgot the pass from my last account.

EDIT: I'll just send you something from my old grandfathered dream journal from my last account if you want
