Hello guys

I sincerely apologise for not keeping this topic updated. I have recently started University and I have no free time for Dreamviews at all. I am very glad that some of you are still doing the Hogwarts Challenge. If someone would be able to take over duties that would be helpful

[SIZE="5"][CENTER][B]Hogwarts House Challenge![/B][/CENTER][/SIZE]

I have always been deeply interested in the Harry Potter stories and I never really made the connection with Lucid Dreaming until now. Ever since Harry Potter peaked my interest I have always longed for a MMORPG type of game. A game where I could take part in the Wizard universe and experience it first hand. Unfortunately, there is no such game at the moment.

The other day I was having a Lucid Dream, when I stumbled across the Sorting Hat. I cheekily put the thing on my head where it whispered [COLOR="green"]Slytherin[/COLOR] into my ear. After that it dawned on me, I could use my Lucid Dreams as a way of indulging into my Harry Potter fantasies!
I have devised a little challenge for myself to learn some of the basics spells, charms and potions from the books. Maybe even fly a broom or two!
Now this is a personal goal for me but I feel like I should share these ideas with you, just in case anyone is interested.

The goal is to complete a set of tasks and earn points for your house!

[SIZE="4"][CENTER][B]Get Sorted![/B][/CENTER][/SIZE]

First thing to do is to get sorted into a house. The four houses in Hogwarts consist of [COLOR="#8b0000"]Gryffindor[/COLOR], [COLOR="orange"]Hufflepuff[/COLOR], [COLOR="#4169e1"]Ravenclaw[/COLOR] and [COLOR="green"]Slytherin[/COLOR]. First year students are arranged into these houses by wearing the Sorting Hat.

Find the Sorting Hat in your next Lucid Dream and find out what house you are destined to be in. Afterwards post an extract of your dream journal here as evidence of your progress. Please be honest as possible! Whatever the Sorting Hat tells you is FINAL. You cannot swap houses :D

[SIZE="4"][B][CENTER]House Challenges[/CENTER][/B][/SIZE]

Once you know which house you belong to you can then proceed to the house challenge! The set of tasks vary depending on which House you are in. Please only complete the challenges within your own house!
Once you have completed the task in your Lucid Dream post an extract of your Dream Journal here on this thread as evidence and I will then add points to the appropriate house! You can complete the tasks more than once but they MUST be in separate dreams in order to count.

You will also need to locate your wand.
