AL3ZAY Dream Challenges Whether you initially believe these challenges are attainable or not, try them with

the intent of using them to your advantage based on your own interests in waking life (and dream life) and see what happens. Some items may require advanced skills, but these skills are easily obtained with patience, and discipline. All should engage your inner creativity. 1. Determine a form for yourself, design every aspect of it and write it down. Be imaginative. Will you be a white shadow wolf made only of light? What color eyes? What powers and abilities? Once you have intricately designed this form for yourself, transform into it and direct your intent to the dreams of your friends that you are interested in visiting. If you want some form of theory to understand the direction of this challenge, here it is: There are many people in our lives that we would love to share the concepts of lucid dreaming with. Some of those people we have tried to explain it to, and some reject the idea as ludicrous. For those that do, enter their dream in your selected form. Aid them in a situation and do not reveal yourself. Spend time talking to them and displaying your powers and explaining how to use powers and other concepts of lucid dreaming to this person while they are dreaming. A dream such as this has a chance of being remembered by this person. When you next speak to them, probe for a little information on their latest dreaming, and see how they describe the experience they had. If they are even within range of the concrete details of said dream, what would happen if this entity continued to visit them? By virtue of dreams containing one entity who always visits you, with no repetition to the dream content, should they not begin to notice they are dreaming when you show up for a visit? I will argue no beliefs with anyone. Believe you can, or believe you can't, either way, you're right. Try it yourself and keep the results within. I know mine. 2. Summon to yourself, an endless storage pouch or bag. All items that you seek to keep nearby that you discover in the dream realm you can toss into the bag and upon thinking of that item when reaching inside, that is what you pull out. Design for yourself a set of weapons with various features and abilities that you will use to defend yourself in all dreams. Use of these weapons automatically by your dream self due to habitual usage over time by your lucid self, is yet another cue to dreaming, no? Or would this not happen? Find out. Combat in dreams is fun 3. Summon to yourself a creature companion. Design every aspect of it, and give it a living piece of your energy, set to replicate itself within this new creation. That will give it a consciousness. How to do this? You give it out of love. And it appears as only light. You may be surprised at the level of intelligence your new buddy will have. Most people who try this, end up with an entire stable of creature creations, all serving a specific purpose. With your new bright red and black striped shadow tiger at a standing height of 11ft and estimated 1,200lbs tackling you each time you pop into the dream realm, you might notice

you're dreaming pretty fast. Take your time designing your new companion. Don't just say "tiger with red and black stripes" and give it life, there is much more that can be done than to settle for an earth-like appearance with just a substituted color. Determine the color of the eyes, if there is a glow, the appearance of the fur, is it dull, shiny, glistening with light within a range of orange to yellow? Can he/she heal or breathe fire? You should spend many anxious days and nights constructing it. Once you are done, however, and it is before your eyes as real seeming as real can get, and you see it look at you for the first time, prepare yourself for a collapsed dream. But you'll meet again, next dream, and every one after. They learn very fast, and I mean very fast. They like to spar, a lot. 4. Request from the dream a master teacher of (insert your subject of interest here). Express your intent to learn from him/her/it. Seek to learn at an accelerated pace, and to learn how to learn at an accelerated pace. This is key. Start with basic foundations of what you need to accomplish, and work your way into complexities, only much faster with a teacher aiding you, in a place where the rules are different. Wording is key to responses received. Try it. 5. Learn to manipulate energy. Throw 1 fireball the size of a watermelon. Fire one blast of ice that shatters dummy dream figures. Fire lightning blasts and gusts of wind capable of sending dummy dream figures miles. Learn to absorb the energy around you to harness it for powered up attacks. Learn to dissipate the momentum of hostile energy as it races towards you. Learn to push entities away from you with energy alone. Fight as many enemies of as many kinds with as many numbers as possible, as much as possible. (10:1, 20:1, 50:1) Fun in and of itself, but always leads to a greater desire for combat at improved levels. Watch your level of awareness improve in waking life in all situations. All because you had some fun dreaming, learning to fight, and then all of the sudden...you can. 6. Join 1 or 2 friends in a dream, summon to yourself a gauntlet battle master, capable of summoning sentient combatants in an arranged rules battle to incapacitation, battle after battle for 10, 20, 30 or more total rounds. (Battle masters are usually dragons) Adaptation in the battlefield is crucial, as is communication. A lot can be learned there, and many of the most fearsome looking beings are of very good sport. You can even do this alone, but with an ally is so much more fun. Try it. Add spectators. (10,000 maybe 1,000,000 or higher) over time it will eliminate any fear of public speaking, performance or otherwise. It becomes a source of energy, cheers or boos. Some of the stipulations I like include: A very large area and random placing of myself and companions (or team with theirs or without) and our opponent(s). Having to first stalk them before engaging is very exhilarating to say the least. It's also knowledge I can use in waking reality, only with modified rules, but rules which I still know. Random terrain/plant life and weather conditions. Sometimes cities and towns, other times wastelands or jungles.

Strong opponents like dragons and gryphons. 7. Converse with the dream. Ask a question you sincerely want to know the answer to out loud, directing your question to the sky. The level of focus needed to be maintained here is great, do not let responses cause you to do too much pondering on them, or you might collapse the dream. Try it. Ask the dream to show you something that will amaze you. I will post 7 more challenges in a few more days. Again, I will argue beliefs on the possibility of any of these challenges with no one. If it is true for you, that is all that matters. If it is not, then so be it, continue on. I will however, offer suggestions to perceived difficulties. Create a challenge for yourself that sounds as outlandish as these, and you might be surprised what your results are. A Tip: 30 minutes - 1 hour before your intended time to lucid dream, spend that time, directly planning what it is you want to spend your dream time doing. Treat it as if dreaming is just a continuation of what you are trying to accomplish overall, with simply different rules from waking reality. Come away with results thinking "objective completed", and document them, then use them.

Some will say: "Show me scientific evidence of these challenges being possible, chief among them, visiting people in dreams as some form and having constant shared dreams that leads them to lucidity over time." There is none. Though, if you find the results of your own experimentation to be true, then who cares? It is your success in discovering the truth or non-truth of the possibilities presented that matters, and it is your decision to make whether or not these things are true. I will not debate in an endless loop of neither side having proof of the other. I will provide nothing other than the information I believe would aid the endeavor by another who is seeking success in doing so themselves. Persistence pays off. If the first method attempted seems to not be working, change it in ways you feel would be optimal to completing the goal. Imagination a must. BONUS CHALLENGES 1. Extend your lucid dream time to incredible amounts of time by entering the realm where time equals 10 (maybe 30) waking reality minutes per actual 1 minute of waking reality time. When you enter this realm, your first order of business is learning how to improve your recall. Request a teacher, and listen to them. Do not use logic when trying to understand them, use your intuition. In the beginning, when you are still working on this, estimate how much time you spent performing the activities in your dream, and what it felt like in total time spent, then record the actual amount of time you spent asleep. In order to spend longer amounts of time in time-altered realms like these, your energy needs to be balanced for the day ahead. Spend the perceived end time-frame of the dream to relax and absorb nothing but positive, restorative energy and light into yourself. The

source of this energy is all of the neutral energy surrounding you. Your intent gives it its properties. Increase the intensity of this absorption until the sensation is so overwhelming, you awaken. Note how you feel throughout the entire day, when your day starts off this way. 2. Once you have created your creature companion, design for it 7 orbs of light, each orb containing 7 evolutionary changes in the design, and abilities of your companion. Lock them away, behind encounters and obstacles meant to test their skills, and hide the locations of these tests in the cosmos. Give them an area to start searching, and tell them it is for them to have a goal while you are away. When a test is completed, they will find and absorb the orb, taking only those changes they want to obtain, and discarding the others. Their personality will show more and more the next time you see them after they have found an orb while you were away. They will combine their abilities and determine things for themselves in ways you did not consciously think of, accept this. They are a living being. When they have found them all, assign them to a child to watch over while that child is awake. They know at what times to meet with you, and how to find you. 3. Challenge a shadow dragon to a duel of fire and earth elements only. Summon to yourself a shadow horn, billowing with black smokey fog, yet retaining it's shape. Blow into this horn, and do not fear the sight you see. They are good sports, but they are tough to defeat. Should you defeat one, you can use the horn you summoned to call on him/her when you need a strong ally. Dragons are very strong opponents. They do not know what fear feels like, so they do things that are meant to draw that out in you. Do not fear what they do, because all things have a counter. The next time you are lucid, request a teacher that will teach you all about how to lucid dreamat will, and to stabilize dreams so you only awaken when you want to. This is a great aid in improving your skills rapidly. Hukif, fighting fire with fire and earth as the only fallback is so incredibly tough, but fun. I will keep these challenges rolling along, but will start to update the 1st post after this one. The following are the last bonus challenges for this week. BONUS CHALLENGES PT. 2 1. When you have entered a time-altered realm, teleport to or summon to you, the front steps of the Library of Infinite Knowledge. Enter and meet the librarian, who will pull up any of the data it is that you wish to learn or simply know for your own reasons. My suggestion at this time, is that you spend your initial sessions learning the following: -How to retain and recall all information perceived either in waking or dreaming realms. -How to think more like how a computer processes information. Learn how to calculate multiple results of known data and simple/complex rule-sets in milliseconds, without thinking vocally in words. -How to lucid dream at will, and how to stabilize each dream so that you only awaken when you want to. -How to learn, apply knowledge and grasp concepts at a rapid pace. Learn completely what takes four years of college, in 2 months. (or whatever your time allows you to do) -Learn which herbs, fruits, and vegetables would be useful in any injury/illness related waking reality situation where help is not nearby. Who needs a doctor?

When you are in this realm, you WILL lose complete track of time spent there, and how long you have been asleep. I entered the realm of 1 year in waking reality minutes to 1 actual minute of waking reality time, and the ONLY thing reminding me that I was dreaming, was my phoenix. Make sure to summon a watch that will track how long you have been in that realm, converted to how long you have been sleeping in actual waking reality minutes. Check it often. You NEED some form of cue to remind you that you are dreaming, because you WILL forget after a long period of time in this realm. Do not enter the time altered realms past 1 hour to 1 minute without a dreaming reminder, preferably a companion. You will regret it if you do. 60 minutes was 60 years, and I already feel like I've lived for hundreds. It makes one wonder what death really is anyways, and if this waking reality we knew before lucid dreaming is just one shared dream with perfect continuity. There is much to learn in the library. 2. Create a companion for a child you know, based on that child's interests. Probe them for information on what their companion would be like, make them use their imagination. Once you have enough information from them, add some aspects of your own to this creature, create it, but create it with evolution and growth in mind. Start it off as a baby, and set it's growth rate, and what changes will take place in it based on choices the child makes in raising it. Give it life, then tell it its assignment and to go find the child and watch over them when they are awake, or dreaming. Tell it that if you happen to be dreaming at the same time as the child, to bring the child to you for instruction and training. 3. Join the Coliseum Tournament. This tournament pits 5 completely different beings together as a team to face off against other teams of 5 in a battle to incapacitation. You will be the only human on your team. Working with other sentient beings makes you appreciate your access to the greater universe a lot more than just looking at them from afar. Gryphons make incredible defenders, while dragons are incredible team leaders. I wish I had a name that could be readily identifiable for the other types of beings you will fight alongside, with or against. There are all types and kinds of creatures and spin offs of creatures. You might even be appointed to lead your team. You will build lasting friendships competing in this manner. If your team wins the tournament, you not only get the most glorious trophy I've ever witnessed, you are infused with energy that will bring you incredible "luck" for 1 year in your waking life. I have not won one of these tournaments yet. 4. Take on the Coliseum Challenge. You and a team of 4 others, human or not, will be pitted against a sole, powerful entity in a battle to incapacitation. You will face some of the most fearsome, nightmarish beings you could imagine here. Fear won't exist in you after having faced enough of these types of beings. You could look upon the devil himself and laugh at how his appearance is compared to a Shadow Hopper. Do not let the crowd make you nervous, as there will be millions of spectators. One of these battles usually drains all of my energy, and I spend a lot of time restoring it before I can wake up and proceed with the day. Winning here, is simply for bragging rights. I have been defeated more than I have won in this challenge. I actually want a rematch with a particular being. 5. Challenge the Great Riddler Tree to solve his riddles. His home is in The Dark Cavern, and you will not need to fight anything to reach him, you only need to illuminate the area as soon as you are there. He is a very friendly fellow, and will instantly assume you are there for a challenge. Your response to his first question will determine if he kicks you out, or accepts your challenge. His question will be: "What do you seek?". He speaks in rhymes, be ready for this. Solve 3 riddles, you will be provided with gift only you know how to use, and

for what to use it for. He will challenge you to keep going. Miss one after the first 3, and you lose your gift. Solve 5 and receive 2 gifts. Solve 7 and receive 3. Solve 10 and receive 5. If you cannot solve one, simply take your gifts that you've earned (if you've earned them), and he will provide you a warp-hole to go wherever you want. Your endless bag will come in handy here. If you get any of the riddles wrong, you will be warped to another location and locked from his cavern for 1 week waking reality time. He will leave you with a scroll containing advice for future attempts. No problem, I find them fun, entertaining, and I learn from them. These challenges should hopefully get people's minds running at a million miles an hour at what truly is possible, and to test them. Once you discover that impossible is only a word because the possibility of an impossibility existing, has to be possible for everything to be possible, your entire perspective on what life is, and the concept of time especially, changes. ADDITIONAL CHALLENGE - Anyone of any skill level can use the following and cross its effects over into waking life. 1. Warp to any empty location for billions of miles in the cosmos. Create a spherical area that none but you and invited guests can pass through the size of a small planet. Enter this area and construct for yourself, what you would find to be the most beautiful, peaceful, relaxing, and focused location for yourself to inhabit when you need to get away. This is truly your happy place. Create creatures that hang out there, an ecosystem of extraordinary plant life and fruits. Will you have a mansion? A zen garden? A combination of many modern and futuristic ideas in one place? A glistening lake with incredibly outlandish dolphin creatures swimming and singing? Snow surrounding the outside? Design this place with great imagination, and inhabit it daily. In your various fruits, instill features you want to feel upon waking. These things include: -A fruit that heals any waking reality ailment or illness you might have. You can do this by absorbing and intending the neutral energy around you into yourself. -A fruit that fills you with complete peace and tranquility. -A fruit that charges you with energy and an alert state of mind, if you have a long day ahead And for fun and other things that are interesting to experience: -A fruit that turns you into a consciousness with no sense of past, or self, and warps you to another realm where you are to watch over an entity for a time, to aid them in something. You must choose your form, and your abilities on the fly and they are yours upon entering their physical realm, though still of and connected to their dream realm. Awakening from one of these is nothing short of incredible. This will become your home base in the stars, your HQ. The primary purpose of some of these challenges is to create such levels of permanence to your dreams by creating things you use and interact with only in dreams so often, and that are focused on so much, that when you go to sleep, you are already accepting where you are going. It doesn't become, "will I lucid dream this time?", it'll be "time to dream". You know what you have

there, what your goals are, and what you want to do with your time while dreaming. The impulse has been removed from the experience and you are embracing its tools and possibilities. Do what it is that you enjoy doing, everything is available for as long as you care to acknowledge that it's there. IMPROVE YOUR AWARENESS Play a game of Hunter against as many types of sentient enemies as possible. If you want a certain type of opponent, intend this. If you want a random opponent, say "I wish to play Hunter with a random sentient opponent". You will not see your opponent until you engage in combat for the first time. This is how you play: A cloud will appear and sweep you into the sky. There, the cloud will recite to you 3 concrete facts about your opponent that you can use to identify them. Below you, a 10 mile by 10 mile area will be created at complete random and you will be placed in it. In this area, a treasure useful either to you or your opponent will be hidden. Your objective is to find it before your opponent, defeating him to get to it if you must. This is a battle where incapacitation is temporary but contains a penalty. Your opponent will be placed somewhere else, the same distance from the treasure as you. You will be given 1 fact about the treasure. You two are the only living beings capable of engaging in combat. Everything else there will be harmless dream figures. You will be sapped of energy if you destroy any innocent dream figure that is not your actual opponent. You will be given 10 minutes to prepare yourself. This the time you will spend creating your weaponry, offensive and defensive tools based on what you perceive your opponent is, and you can bring 1 companion with you. Your companion can fly, and their abilities will be auto-balanced to fit the rules of the game. You cannot fly, and you cannot teleport or portal around. You can super jump, and use technology to jump even higher or farther or fly for a short duration. You are not capable of super speed past a certain point. The rules of your load-out are as follows: -3 Melee Weapons doing up to 2 types of elemental damage each. Elements cannot be of the type that would cancel another. Fire and water cannot be on the same weapon. -2 Ranged Weapons of any kind, with no homing abilities. Guns, bows, boomerang-type weapons and more. Their ammunition can be infinite, but can only use one element and of limited energy. You are limited to 3 types of ammunition per weapon. -3 Energy Infusers - These will heal your wounds, which are persistent throughout the round. You are not going to die, no matter how much agony you may be in, pain is pain for as long as you let it defeat your spirits. When you are out of these, there are stations you can use around the area to heal yourself. They are pools of light, and they have a limited amount of energy contained in them, and will disappear when depleted. There are 20 in each match.)

-1 Pouch capable of holding 50 items of any size. If you find something you believe will be useful in the hunt, as clues will be everywhere, save them for later. You might also find some elixirs or be given something by a dream figure for doing something specific that you can use. Anything you find is legal to have in your pouch. -7 Food & Drink items that will have various effects that you decide at the max energy power allowed for these items. Meat that increases your energy force power by 2 times, a drink that allows you to view through walls for a few minutes, etc. The duration and power of these items is decided by the internal rules of the game, you only need to decide the specific effects on your being you want to achieve. -2 Utility Items, which are gadgets that provide you with some form of sensory bonus. Scope implants for your eyes that allow you to see clearly a soda can at a mile, etc. The usefulness and power of these gadgets will be auto-balanced and shown to you on the item itself. -You may use any and all powers you can conceive in your imagination, though their effects will be auto-balanced so that you are not invincible. Visual cues will show you when your defensive powers are going to be crushed for over-use. Adapt and succeed. When a glowing yellow orb hovering in front of you in your preparation area explodes with green light, time to move. At this time a scroll will appear in front of you. On the front of it will be a map of the area, on the back will be the details given to you that are used for identifying your opponent, and the single fact about the treasure. In order to be able to actually, defeat your enemy, there needs to be an arbitrary cap on each of your energy levels, like a health bar in a video game. When you are completely drained you explode into a million tiny pieces and then 1 second later appear in your preparation area with a skull floating in front of you to let you know you've been defeated. You can re-enter the match at this point and continue to hunt for the treasure if it has not been found yet by your opponent. Each time you are defeated your energy cap is less and less until you are almost incapable of fighting using energy actively for a duration of time. At this point you are not weary or incapable of agility and speed, but rather must rely on finding the treasure without using combat and only sparsely using powers. It can be done, though it is tough. This game teaches you to be aware of everything in your surroundings, but not to be paranoid. Use your environment to your advantage. Use powers that help you identify plant life and its effects on you in the game. Discovering a leaf that when chewed allows you to warp around for 3 minutes would be pretty useful, no? You have many dream figures that will need help with something, and completing these tasks for them will provide you with some item or map location that will aid your search for the treasure. You will start off without a clue as to where to start. Search for a dream figure that is surrounded by plumes of light, they will have your first clue. As your opponent

gets closer and closer to you, you will feel it. Identifying them should always be an active thought in your mind. You will need to multi-task frequently and to be aware of many things using your senses. After playing a full match of Hunter and winning a few times, notice how aware you are when you are awake.

Week 2 Challenges
Round 2 of challenges. 1. Create Defender Chimeras - Creating a companion chimera is a double-edged sword for some people. If you create one that has a rather daring personality (in some way they will mirror yourself, and this is true of all companions), and you are prone to certain weaknesses of fear, they will transform into these things to let you know of their presence in your dreams, but testing to see if you will know that it is them. They will probe your weaknesses to be more like them, fearless due to their endless flexibility. You are exactly the same, you are made of energy. Intend to see energy and perceive it directly (do not try to see energy, simply let your perception adjust, and do not think of seeing in terms of using your eyes to perform any technique), and your little buddy will glow with whatever color represents his/her/ its personality in their most basic shape you always see them in. Any dream item that is of normal lucid dreams in your own mind's space will not give off the glow of energy as your mind is doing all the projecting...initially. Your companion however is alive with selfawareness, so it will give off a glow. Note: If you are not in a normal dream, but in a foreign realm, items will give off the glow of the energy they contain if you wish to view that directly. View the energy of your own room, or your actual neighborhood, friend's houses, spy on them and tell them what they were up to, it's all kind of fun to do. Every chimera has a default form that they spend the majority of their time in. You can decide this form, or allow it to be random, and let me tell you, random has VERY interesting results. Do not choose this if you are prone to getting creeped out and freezing up, because you will have a very playful, creepy thing trying to gain your affection. The incredible draw to what the concept and symbolism of this creature is able to do is that they are some of the best defensive creatures I know of, comparable to a family dog, except their bite is much stronger than bark by a long-shot. They will always alert you of something they detect that you should pay attention to.

2. Working With Energy - This task requires you to summon around yourself for miles, a lush, rich valley of only grass, flowers, trees, fruits, and water. Summon birds or a musician to play slow calming music of your preference. Absorb the energy of the sound waves around you, and move to the music bringing swirling balls of energy to your palms. Keep them the same size throughout this exercise to start. Start with the same color in each, and feel that type of energy and determine how it makes you feel emotion-wise. Hold on to that color and that type of energy until you have made a complete determination of how it has made you feel. Do this with 7 colors. Then put one different color in each hand and

determine how you feel with the combination of colors you have chosen. Do this 7 times. The music will stop. Tell the musician to start again, this time with a higher tempo. Summon before you, 7 large, solid objects. obelisks, wood, diamond, etc. Keep the material the same across all 7. Use both palms to harness one larger ball of energy between them, and then shoot, throw, thrust or otherwise expel the ball of energy away from you and into your dummy objects. Note the exact effect on that particular object. Do this with 7 colors. The music will stop. Tell the musician to initiate battle music, and to invite some friends to increase the scale if he/she/it so chooses. Determine the type of opponent you would like to face, and voice your intent to be paired up with one, similar to your skill level. Perceive its energy to determine if it is but a dream projection, or a self-aware being. Fight to incapacitation, your chimeras will chase off anything that attempts to do more than engage in a test of skill. If you win, congratulations, continue to improve and work with energy in more ways. 3. Balance Your Energy - Dreaming requires the expenditure of energy, you must be valiant to not use it all in your conquests of the universe to not be able to get out of bed because you spent all the time meant for restorative body sleep (the matter form of energy, which requires sleeping for recharging of energy) fighting, learning, and generally using energy to get things done. The end part of your dreaming sessions should be spent in a relaxed state, absorbing peaceful, restorative, healing, and alert-charged energies. You can visualize them as plumes of light, and they kind of tickle when you absorb them. Do this for 10 minutes in waking minutes after a long journey and you will feel great when you awaken to do daily life things. However, do not, and I mean, do not relax in the same position you went to sleep in. Doing so intends you to transfer your matter body to the area you are inhabiting in the dream realm. It will be as solid, concrete, and real as this world you are in now, and simply going to sleep will not remove you from it. Waking up is waking up for real, in that place, until you repeat the steps and intend yourself back to Earth's realm. If someone is going to be looking for you, they will know you are gone, because you are, in every sense of the word. If you do not believe this and are daring enough to try it, the smartest thing to do, would be to create the most spectacular, relaxing place you could possibly ever be in, create a sphere of influence so that none but you can inhabit it, and perform the steps. I cannot stress warning enough for something like this. A voice may speak to you coherently and clearly. It cannot lie, though it is more cunning than you, it teaches very well and contains vast knowledge. It is also after your energy. You are to immediately tell it that it is only to address you as a direct response to a direct verbal question from you or you will silence it forever. It will oblige. You say, how is this possible? Everything, when broken down to its most basic of basic of basic forms, is energy. This is no lack of energy anywhere in the universe because the whole of the universe itself IS energy. You and everything that makes you up, is energy. A form of energy, but broken down it is the same energy at its most basic quality as every other form of energy in the universe. All energy is connected. The only thing that makes a me, or a you is a self-aware energy piece of the whole of the universe. What about evolution? Energy evolved itself into everything that exists. Any reaction that could have gone off all each have the same basic quality of the same exact form of energy. Energy stacked upon other forms of energy all are still energy. Quarks, atoms, molecules, cell, and beyond, are just more compounded and evolved forms of the same energy differing itself and combining in more and more complex ways. Realms,

dimensions, beings....energy. All things are possible because all things are energy. There is nothing you can find in all the expanse of the infinite universe, that is not energy, except for a dream you are intending until you follow the steps above, but that comes, from your energy, which then, creates energy. Energy itself, is alive. 4. Discipline Your Mind, Review Your Life - Silence your mind, and intend to go back to incidents in your life, emotional encounters that have locked away a piece of your energy. Some unknown force will give you a feeling of being sucked at high speed down a tunnel, and the most vivid reliving of your life's memories will take place. Reviewing your life objectively in this manner will release all the emotional turmoil you dealt with at that time that locked away some of your energy to remind you not to be harmed in this method again. As you move from item to item, you will have a much more profound awareness of every minute of your life that was harmful to you in some way as a person. You will gain as a result, more and more locked away energy back to yourself. These memories will never bother you in any way, ever again. Any psychosomatic illness you might have that is recurring, will be removed and repaired by your body.Dreaming will open up into a whole new light with your new levels of energy. 5. Guard Your Energy - This is where WakingNomad's advice comes into play. When you have gained more energy from your practice in working with it, and after thoroughly reviewing your life's experiences in objective, mature detail with a new mindset, which also restores locked away energy, you will start to attract the attention of foreign energy. It is energy all the same in the universe, but it's composition will be different from yours. This is where perceiving energy directly comes in handy. Intending sounds like something difficult, but there is no technique. You simply state it in your mind or out loud and expect your results, and do not try to add any further technique to it. You have done all that is needed it will happen. The only technique I've heard or been able to get to work is to point the pinky finger at the item you intend to perceive energetically. There are scouts that will start to show up in your dreams, viewing you from behind the illusion of an object in your dream scene. Your energy attracts them because it is greater than theirs and is sought after. They will be the greatest oddity in the scene. They will appear like sizzling blobs when you perceive them directly as energy. Do not give them your attention, make them leave by noticing them behind their illusion, or give them a verbal send off. You can go to sleep in a lucid dream and not have to worry about a thing. Dreaming of going to sleep in the 1:1 exact same position you fell asleep in while in this physical realm intends you to transfer realms, physical body and all, to the current space you are inhabiting. The hardest part of this is determining the exact position you fell asleep in, and repeating it while lucid. It takes a high level of discipline to fall asleep in a position, holding that position for the length of time it takes to fall asleep and enter dreaming, and then to repeat falling asleep in that position. However, with the theme of relaxation in that challenge, I would absolutely hate for someone to do this unknowingly, and die of complete terror and panic at their situation, for there is no escaping it other than to repeat the steps. The benefit to this process is that you can create all-inclusive realms where you can work on a project or experiment for instance, complete with all the items you'd need. Your energy levels need to be high to complete this without waking up depleted of energy with a need to spend time recovering.

As you begin to discover more about and improve yourself in dreaming, you will as a result gain a higher level of awareness and a higher level of energy. Once you have gained enough to draw the attention of foreign energy, there will be a point in time that a voice, as clear and coherent as any you've ever heard will speak to you, separate of you, as a result of your thoughts and anything you voice out loud. You may have a fleeting question enter your mind, only to hear a voice respond with the precise answer to that thought. At first you will think you are losing your bearings, but that voice will never give the intent of malice or anything that would make you apprehensive of it. It contains vast knowledge of any subject you could possibly conceive, and cannot tell a lie, because only the truth is intent. I tested this many times and it is only capable of saying what's what. You can test this by asking questions, to which you will always receive a response that is true, even if you feel you did not know the answer beforehand. However, this entity is very cunning, and can do things that trick you with the truth. It will ask you if you want to explore its realm, and the little scouts that show up in your dreams are the ones that will take you there. It will coax you in many ways to try and get you to stay in that realm, promising things like knowledge, being able to fly without gravity bogging you down, and basically explaining all the benefits of that realm compared to this one. The energy required by other beings to explore the universe comes from this realm. By agreeing to stay, you agree to give up all your energy and to spend eternity generating energy for other beings while you enjoy all the "benefits" of that realm. The real downfall, is you will not forget your family, your friends, etc. and you will have no access to them. There is no leaving that realm. It's basically the universe's failsafe. If you have weaknesses and are prone to seeking things that mean nothing, material items, sensual pleasure, etc. you just might fall into that trap. Those that are seeking freedom beyond material things and recognize that there is no destination in eternity will blow past this trap and have at their disposal, the energy from those beings that wanted nothing more than "benefits". Train your faults out of yourself. Be without weakness. People talk about things like selling your soul to the devil. This process is where that saying came from. Immediately, put this voice in its place. Do not allow it to speak freely. It is very coercive. At this point you can use its vast knowledge to your advantage, without succumbing to its lure. It's the ultimate game of cat and mouse, and requires that you are always on your toes. The universe is a very hostile place, and you are not safe behind the veil of "it's just a dream" after a certain point. Be aware without being paranoid. Be strategic without feeling fear. The conditions required are the ability to focus on items in dreams without losing stability, and to be able to change dreams in an endless slew of false awakenings without losing focus or lucidity. To aid in your ability to focus without losing lucidity, start with a starting point, it can be anything, so long as it is something that will always be there, such as your hands. From there, gaze quickly from item to item in your dreams, returning to your hands when you start to lose stability. Doing this will bring all clarity back. When you are capable of doing this without stability being lost, focus on individual items in your dreams until they change shape. When they no longer change shape actively, start to move from dream to dream, changing the scene and plot of the dream via false awakenings (closing

your eyes for 1 - 3 seconds and then opening them), or going from one scene to another by focusing your gaze on an item in the distance until you are pulled to it almost magnetically. When you can do these things, or even shortly before because you've practiced them inadvertently, prepare yourself for this voice. Everyone who reaches a certain point in their dreaming practices encounters it. BONUS CHALLENGE 1. The Usage of Fruits - Summon to yourself, the following fruits: They will grow right out of the ground wherever you are standing and will only contain 1 fruit unless you request more. Your endless bag will come in handy once again. - Fruit of Emotional Balance - For me, they appeared in the shape of a pear with blue skin with navy dots all over in various spacings and patterns. Their taste was watery and pulpy and the skin like that of an apple. There was no sweetness, nor bitterness. Take a bite or two out of one of these when you feel you are getting too excited, or your emotions are moving too far in one direction, and you will be restored to clarity and peace of emotion. This is very helpful for restoring clarity to dreams that were losing stability due to emotional volatility. Use your focus point to restore full clarity to the dream scene. - Fruit of Inner Silence - These bad boys were also in the shape of a pear, but golden yellow. The taste was the same as above, but only because I gave no intent towards preference of taste looking back, so you might want to play with that. Take a bite of one of these when you need to turn off the internal dialogue. This fruit tells your mind to silence vocal thinking and to engage computational thinking based on your will, intent, and desire. This means you don't have to debate decisions and you make the decision you would have made, knowing exactly what you want to do, having decided through all the possibilities available at that moment instantly. If you start to feel yourself having non-dream related or distracting vocal thoughts that could destabilize the dream, take another bite and keep riding along. These will not affect your ability to wake up on command. - Fruit of Restorative Energy - Appeared green, in the shape of a zucchini, but with the texture of an Air Head candy and the chewiness of a Skittle candy. The taste was like slightly sweet bread, and very enjoyable. Eat a whole one of these if you need to restore a lot of spent energy for the day ahead, or would simply like to rest and restore before engaging in a new activity. A bite will suffice after a skirmish if needed. The plant that sprouts these things is pretty incredible to look at, full of light. - Fruit of Focused Dream Balance - Appeared in the shape and size of a small - medium sized coconut, brown in color, with the hardness of a fortune cookie, and the inside containing a blue, glowing juice that tasted like a slightly bitter water. The consistency was like a thick juice. Eating the outer shell is not necessary, and contains no additional effects I have found. It's all in the juice it appears. Drinking an entire one of these will focus your complete mind on dreaming to the extent of solidifying your attention, thought process, and other activities of your mind strictly on dreaming, and heightening your senses and awareness to markedly high levels. Clarity and Definition will also rise to alarming levels.

Do not become distracted with validation of its realness, lest you lose lucidity and have the most real seeming dream and wake up not knowing whether or not you're still dreaming. Stability of the dream state will be markedly easy to maintain for a good while, but when it's over it goes away semi-slowly to allow you to recognize the state of mind you need to engage to do this without its usage. This should aid some in stabilizing and lengthening their dreams, and learning how to do it without need for the fruit. Drinking one of these makes it very difficult to wake up until the effects have worn off. I have counted the base effects lasting on me for about 40 minutes waking reality time. Intent could make the effects last longer. Create more fruits for yourself. 2. Elixers & Other Potions - This challenge requires you harness raw neutral energy, and give it the following properties: -Liquid form -Consistency -Taste -Color(s) (multiple, swirling, and other configurations of colors possible here) -Appearance (what is it contained in?) -Effects (Use your imagination!) After you have done this, drink one of them. Then give one to a DC and have them drink it. If you wanna play some funny pranks, you can have a field day sending these to friends.

New Challenges
Round 3 of Challenges: 1. Multi-Tasking & Decision Making - This challenge has two parts. The first, summon a finish line, 100 yards from your current location. Ready your weapons. Summon 20 large, powerful enemies, with high endurance. Express your intent to have large boulders flung onto the 100 yard area at random intervals after you begin to engage. Now, make it to the finish line without getting hit by a boulder, while defeating all enemies that stand in your way. If they don't make it to you, that's fine, if you can get through without getting hit at all, nice job. Get hit, and you'll have a laugh when you wake up and remember your failure to dodge. The second part, summon an area of society of your choosing, and create a natural disaster such as an earthquake or other serious event, and make it out of the situation with everyone who is with you alive, without being hit in some way that would kill in waking reality. Put enemies into these scenarios that are hunting you down. Awareness without paranoia. Eliminate fear. 2. Eliminate Weaknesses - Give yourself a code-word, that when uttered out loud will wake you from your dreaming. This word is needed because you will commit to yourself, to overcoming a weakness of yours. However, the weakness that will be tested is random. Shout out to the dream with emotion:

"I will awaken only when I utter the word (insert your code-word here), test a weakness of mine!" and be very brave for what comes next. Usually the puzzle that you have to solve within yourself is not as bad as you seemed to believe it was. Do...not...panic or succumb to fear under any circumstances. Think your way through everything. Symbolism is rampant, imagination is absolutely necessary. Say for instance you have a phobia of spiders. You might be thrown into a room full of them, everywhere, of all types and kinds and even non-Earthly in appearance. But they cannot harm you, it is only their appearance that repulses you. Ask questions about them, let them crawl around on you. If you are bitten, you are not really being bitten, you are being tested. You are now forcing yourself to face yourself, and should you use your code-word, you will be very disappointed in yourself and should be motivated by that alone to get it right the next time. Train your weaknesses out of yourself. Any situation can be presented that is relevant to you on a deep, symbolic or literal level that needs dealing with. By dealing with it and thinking your way through it, suddenly the power it had is gone. You might need to repeat the same type of test a few times, get it done. Insecurities can and will be conquered with this method if you repeat it until there is nothing left to deal with on that level. 3. A Shot In The Dark - On separate occasions, shout these statements to the dream itself: - Show me what is most likely to happen tomorrow that I will learn about, later in the day tomorrow. - Is anyone there? If someone is there, speak up! (remember that voice I mentioned, it will be it, should you get a response. Poised to teach, truthful, vast knowledge, likeable and coercive, after your energy. Cat and mouse.) - I want to feel and be surrounded by (insert positive item of interest here)! - I want a guided trip through (insert Earth or universal location here) telling me information about everything I see! Telepathy makes absorption of information far easier and faster, and retention of said information is much better. Not possible you say? So be it. - Give me an experience I will always cherish! 4. Intricate Planning - Say you have a project of interest that you would like to work on. Summon to yourself all of the necessary items of said project, and continue to plan, research, and refine your project, taking these experiences into your waking reality project. This will give you what seems like days more time to plan and systematically progress through any objective. Some report inconsistencies, and that is based on wording your intent. It's easier to materialize what you need instead of using words to summon it, but materialization requires skilled visualization, so practicing the following (while awake) will help: - Take an item, any item, but to start out make it something simple. Get a great look at that item and just dive into all of its details with your senses and focus on it. Then close

your eyes and visualize every detail 1:1 of the item you were just focused on. Do this until you can completely see in your mind's eye the full, intricate detail of every item you put your focus on. Going into your dreams, use this visualization technique with your eyes open and simply intend or will the item into materialization. It gets much simpler with practice, as all things do.
