Next lucid challenge ideas

We could try to host a challenge if no one else wants to, although it would probably need to be a simple one because of our limited knowledge of how the different things work here.

So would probably just leave it open to anyone who wanted to participate without making up a list of participants, and would just assign a new challenge each week without making up any polls, or asking for peoples personal goals, which would allow us to get it up and running faster, and would make it easier to keep track of things, since we would only be keeping track of how people did on the challenges.

And we would try to keep the challenges simple so that they would be easier to accomplish, and build people’s confidence up in their ability to accomplish things in their lucids.

So would just create our list of participants as people reported their lucids and task completions, so that no one would feel defeated from having signed up for a contest that were unable to score any points on.

Am thinking that the challenges could be something like the following:

Week 1: Take control of the lucid, and change the outcome of the dream
Week 2: Float or fly while lucid
Week 3: Use your imagination to create something while lucid, like a house, car, lake, animal, etc.
Week 4: Change the weather while lucid

Also, once a task is introduced, we would leave it open for the entire time of the contest so that if someone completes the task from week 1 in week 4, they would still get credit for it, since sometimes it might take longer than a week to complete a task.

And we would allow the tasks to be completed multiple times for credit, as long as they are in different lucid dreams, to allow everyone to rack as many points as possible.

Points could be awarded as follows:
Become lucid - 5 points
Complete a challenge while lucid - 10 points
Completing a task during a non lucid dream - 5 points
Remembering a task during either a lucid or non lucid dream - 2 points

We’ve never done anything like this that involves assigning points, and keeping track of people’s progress, but should be able to keep track of a simple contest like this.

We would also participate in the contest our self, but would not assign any points to our self.

We would start the challenge immediately, and introduce new tasks every Monday starting on 9/29/26, which would give everyone over a week to complete the first challenge.

Am assuming that we would just start a new thread under the Lucid Adventures, Lucid Challenge for this, and should probably call it something like MrEd’s Lucid Challenge to keep it separate from the more detailed challenges.

Let us know if that sounds feasible, or if anyone has any suggestions on how we might be able to improve it.

I’d be down to join another challenge, or host!

One of my biggest passions/interests is how lucid dreaming can be used for self healing, discovery, and growth. So if I host I’d want that to be the theme. I’m not sure how many people would be interested in joining a challenge like that, so I would want to guage interest first. But prompts may be like:

“Meet your inner child”

“Practice a skill you’d like to improve”

“Show love to a dream character (bonus points if they were hostile, or creating conflict)”

i made a new topic now so it’s not lost in the old challenge topic.

@MrEd so you want to do some kind of ongoing task thingy unofficial, not a real LC? this sounds more open ended than a lucid challenge. you can start a topic in Lucid Adventures and invite people to join. This means no rewards / badges can’t be earned.

@Beancan I love your ideas tbh. To start one, you will need to ask for signups first so you aren’t making challenges that nobody is going to do :sweat_smile:

so let’s see what everyone thinks.

We would be more interested in doing Beancan’s challenge than having a challenge of our own, because we like the idea of using lucid dreaming for self healing, because we’ve had carpel tunnel in our right hand for about a year now, that is starting to get better because of our diet, but that we would like to be able to heal for good. So would be interested in signing up for Beancan’s challenge.

Great! I’m excited to host! I’ll write something up in a day or two.

I’m thinking of having two possible challenges to pick from each week (or you could do both for more points.) That way people can choose the one that resonates with them more, which increases motivation and chances of a successful lucid dream. Picking from 2 would also give people flexibility to not do a prompt if it touches too closely to a sensitive area they’re not ready to face yet.
