So I allready have a sense of how he different parts of Hogwarts line up, so if you want to know how Hogwarts look like play that game!
Well then I guess the first thing I have to do is to visit the Diagonalley and go to Olivanders.
Just one question: Can I complete all the tasks in the same dream? Or do I have to complete each of them in a separate dream?

I haven't had much chance to play the more recent games. I will have to check it out!

You can complete as many tasks as you want in the same dream but you cannot do the same spell more than once.

Yeah you definitely should =). Then watch the movies to not make the dream look like the game (even if it has pretty good graphics)
Ok thanks and by the way this is a really good way to control the dream, because I probably trust a wand more than my own powers

Did this last night. Got into Hufflepuff! I'm on vacation now but when I get back I will write about it in more detail here.

But there's is perfect. I'll use there world, but do things my way while im in it.

I read this thread the other day, but didn't focus too much on it. I frequently have harry-potter type settings in my dream, sometimes with characters from the movie, sometimes not.

This weekend I had an epic harry potter / the fifth element type battle lucid dream that I'm guessing was around 40mins long. i maintained lucidity, but as one of my experiments, i "went along" with the story line. this seemed to make the dream much longer than my usual LD's, but much more difficult to recall. i used both magic and technology but no specific spells or anything that would count for the challenge, just thought it was an interesting LD.

each scene was similar to the wedding bit in what i think was "the order of the phoenix." i would go someplace, bad guys would follow, there would be a battle. i know ron was in the dream, but i think he was the only actual harry potter character. too bad hermione wasnt anywhere to be found...

Thank you! Planning on WILDing tonight and completing the Hufflepuff task(s)

Can you say motivation? Thats all i needed. I'm in.

This sounds really fun! I will be sure to put the sorting hat thing on my list of goals! I just recently rewatched a few of the movies and I think it would be really fun to do a few of the spells and things.

I've had a dry spell lately, but when I get lucid, I'll try this out! Sounds cool!

I'm glad to see more people joining in. I thought no one would be interested, I guess I was wrong

I am going to contact an admin/moderator so I can edit the original post with some new tasks. Before I do so, I was wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions on what you want to be added and to which house.

Regards

Alchemy, Botany, Quidditch, Dementors, Death Eaters, Conversations (Dumbeldore, Snape, Hermoine, etc..), Hogwarts Express,

Apparition could be fun.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will be compiling the new tasks later on today.

In the mean time, I managed to complete a task for Slytherin last night!

'... I pulled the wand from my pocket and held it firmly in front of me. This time the wand didn't not look as rubbish as the last, so my spells might just work this time. I extended my reach and shouted 'Lumos' To my surprise the end of my wand started beaming with a blue light. I could finally see around me and made my way out of the room...'

So that's 5 points to Slytherin

I'm in!

well as soon as I can Ld regularly and control them, Harry potter actually made me want to start LDing again so I could explore their world.

oh and an idea for a task what about slaying the basilisk? That'd be fun.

Hey! I'm a big fan of Harry Potter!
Unfortunatly, I just get into this stuff of Lucid Dreaming (although I believe I used to Lucid Dreaming some times when I was a child). But after that and before I met DV and started to read more about Lucid Dreaming, I always quit my dreams when I knew I was dreaming.

Like I said in a previous thread, my major problem is that my dreams are sometimes too realistic or last too little. After the night I attended to start Lucid Dreaming till today (which were only 3 nights), the only thing I dreamed about HP was that I was wearing the a outift very similar to the boys uniform, but without knowing the House. However, I told to myself that I was really wearing the boys uniform. Then it vanished into another completly different dream.

Please, keep with this thread! I'm sure there are at least one person who will participate on this. I absolutly will, but first you need to wait a while for me to clean-up my mind and to stop with this stupid realistic and fast dreams that I have been having since I payed more attention to them (due to my reborned interest on LD)

^^ Dont worry, there's already multiple people participating in this. This is one of my favorite lucid dreaming tasks. Keep it up everyone.

I got into Gryffindor! (Although it wasn't my first choice, that's okay, it had no members so far anyway.)

The other night I was actually lucid in Hogwarts, after several nights of incubating the tasks, and I forgot all about the sorting hat. I did, however, get a wand:

I saw Dumbledore and Harry there having a sort of intense conversation. When they noticed me, they stopped. Harry walked away, and Dumbledore gave a friendly greeting. He gave me something else--a wand to use--and followed Harry down the corridor. Cool! A wand. I tried to remember if there was something I was supposed to do here. I looked down to see if I was wearing a school uniform, but I was wearing instead a pink dress with matching shoes. Make that shoe. I used the wand to grow myself another shoe, slightly annoyed with the color, but too lazy to change my whole outfit. I wanted to follow Dumbledore before I lost track of him.

Last night I actually remembered the sorting hat:

I first needed to locate the sorting hat. I saw a pile of old junk, including hats, near a full-length mirror. Under the junk, I saw a brown cone shape. I told myself this was it. When I pulled it out, I saw it was the sorting hat, albeit a little smaller. I turned to the mirror and watched its face and I placed it on my head. No sooner did it touch my hair that I heard, "Gryffindor!"

I then went a little nuts doing the tasks, even though you're supposed to do them one per dream. I got a little too excited.

On my way back into the main room, I saw several brooms leaning in the corner by the door. They were a little small, but I grabbed one and brought it into the main room, which had vaulted ceilings. I flew around the room in a circle a couple of times, which was fairly amusing, but not too much different than flying normally, so I got off and tried to remember any other tasks. I couldn't remember if I could do them all at once or not, but I figured I could always do them again. I looked at the various junk on the floor: a bicycle, some clothes, what looked like a sonic screwdriver. I pulled my wand out from my shirt. I wasn't very stable, like last time, and drooped a bit, so I put a little more energy into it and that seemed to stabilize it. I pointed and made two short waves at the screwdriver. "Wingardium Leviosa!" The screwdriver floated upward, toward the ceiling. I wondered how I should get it down, and then just decided to leave it up there.

Now we just need to all learn shared dreaming so we can have a real-time Quidditch match, lol.

Damn you Naiya, Gryffindor is way ahead now. Well not too far ahead. I went lucid last night, and right when I went to find the sorting hat, my alarm went off for my wbtb. I moved when the alarm went off, so I couldnt DEILD. I also had to turn off my alarm because it was super loud and it would hahe woken up my mom if I left it on. Well I'll try it again tonight. Also, if I remember correctly, mrdeano said you can do as many tasks for your class as you'd like. Or as many as you can complete during your lucid.

Here is my dream...sorry I took a while to update it!

Spoiler for Hufflepuff Dream:

V-WILD'd successfully! Sorry I haven't posted a DJ entry in a while...will try to start getting back into it.

I was standing outside the Hogwarts Castle, by a brick wall. I stabilized the dream, and everything became clearer. The wall felt rough, and faded when I rubbed it.

Behind the wall, was a entrance to Hogwarts. It was a mossy green circular door, that seemed about 15 feet high. I walked through the tall grass towards the door and pushed it open.

Inside, was a royal looking hallway fllled with candles everywhere. It was crowded and people were staring at me. curiously. I smiled at them.

I saw a very small door to my left, and walked past it. Suddenly, a random guy stopped me in the hallway and said that the door lead to the sorting hat, and I needed to be sorted. I said it was a dream, and I would just find a taller door and the sorting hat would be there for me. He seemed persistent, and said I HAD to shrink down and go through that particular door.

So I shrunk down slowly, and pushed open the door. There was a small, wooden table right in the center of the room with the sorting hat sitting on the middle of it. There was no other furniture in the room. The walls seemed to be made of some type of fur.

I picked up the hat, put it on. It seemed to melt into my head, and I asked it what house I would be in. After about 10 seconds, it shouted: "HUFFLEPUFF!" I was happy, since this is the house I wanted!

I said thank you to the hat, and stepped out of the room. I was trying to remember any of the Hufflepuff tasks, but I couldn't. I grew back up, and started to walk around the castle.

I decided to start talking to random people passing me. I stopped a really tall, bright-oranged haired girl, and asked her how she was doing.

She replied, "Fine and dandy, just like a pencil!"

She randomly touched my arm, and her finger melted in it. When she pulled her hand out of my arm, her finger was missing. I looked down, and saw my veins popping out. They were a magenta color. It freaked me out, so I looked away quickly.

I continued to walk down the hall, and noticed an abstract painting. I can't remember the details of it, but I got so absorbed in it..I forgot I was dreaming .

This sounds like a great idea, so does a Harry Potter MMORPG. Unfortunately this may be beyond my skill level, but I will try it if I think of it in a lucid.
Some ideas for challenges:
Go into the room of requirement see what it turns into
Look into the mirror of Erised
Act out a scene from the books/movies/games and change what happens

I wanna join in Once I get a hold of my dreaming, I'll make sure to find my way to Hoggy Woggy Hogwarts
