1. The Joker
Ask a dream character to tell you a joke that will make you laugh. Can your dream surprise you? How is this possible?
There's a science behind what makes a joke funny - called the "kick of the discovery" - a phrase used by the physicist Richard Feynman, who was a pretty funny guy himself. Humor works by leading us one way then suddenly shifting our perceptions.
"Yesterday I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How it got into my pajamas I have no idea."--Groucho Marx
What's truly weird, then, is when a lucid dream makes us laugh. Because fundamentally, all elements of the dream are created by ourselves. In a two-way conversation with a dream character, you're really talking to yourself.
Yet our dream characters can still surprise us with a good setup - and a punch line that hits us out of the blue. Don't believe me? Try it and see.
1.小丑
让梦里的角色给你讲一个能让你大笑的笑话，你梦里角色能让你震惊吗？这可能吗？
在这背后有一个科学的解释-被称为“发现之回旋踢，”
这是物理学家Richard Feynman所说的一个句子，他是一个十分有趣的人。幽默能通过一种方式引导我们，然后突然的改变我们的看法。
"我昨天在我的睡衣上射击了一头大象，我都不知道它是怎么到我睡衣上的"--Groucho Marx
那么，当一个清醒梦把我们逗笑的时候就真的太奇怪了。因为从根本上来说，在梦中的所有基本部分都是由我们自己创造的。当你和梦中的角色对话时，你其实是在和你自己说话。
然而我们梦里的角色可以因为其良好的设定而带给我们惊喜--这是一种能使人脱离忧郁的妙语。不相信我？尝试一下看看吧。

2. The Philosopher
Seek out a philosophy professor in your dream. Ask them some of the great questions: Who am I? Is our universe real? What is infinity? Why is there something rather than nothing?
This is a trick challenge. I'm sending you on a mission to find answers to questions for which there are no answers. Or are there?
Getting philosophical in a lucid dream is always intriguing because, like the joker scenario above, the answers seem to come from an unexpected source.
Your dream character might hold beliefs that conflict with your own, for instance, or come to conclusions you've never thought of before.
What does your inner philosopher have to say about that?
2.哲学家
在你的梦里找出一位哲学教授。向他们询问一些伟大的问题，如：我是谁？这个世界是真实的吗？什么是无穷？为什么会存在东西，而不是不存在？
这是一个技巧性的挑战。我给你的任务是去寻找这些问题的答案，尽管这些问题没有答案，也许会有答案？
在清醒梦中了解哲学往往是有趣的，就像上一个小丑挑战一样，答案似乎是来自一个意想不到的来源。
你梦里的角色可能因为不同的信仰而与你自己产生冲突，例如得出你以前从未想过的结论。
那么你内心的哲学家对此有何看法呢？

3. The Quantum World
Ask the dream to shrink your body by a factor of 1,000. Take a look around. Then shrink again. Then again. What does the quantum world look like?
Nobody knows what the quantum world looks like - that's the thing.
Quantum mechanics is a theory of infinitesimal interactions based on mathematical equations. As far as we're concerned, it's abstract and intangible.
But wouldn't it be cool to be able to visualize the universe at this impossible scale? Not least because many aspects of quantum theory are so difficult to imagine... and impossible for most non-physicists (and some physicists) to accept.
3.量子世界
在梦里让你的身体缩小1000倍。看看你的周围。然后再次缩小、再次缩小。这个量子世界看起来如何？
没有人知道量子世界看起来怎样。
量子力学是基于数学方程式的无限小时相互作用的理论。就我们而言，量子是抽象且无形的。
但是如果能以这种不可能的程度来想宇宙？难道不是很酷吗？尤其因为量子理论的许多方面难以想象……许多的非物理学家（和一些物理学家）都无法接受这些想象。

4. The Edge of The Universe
Ask the dream to enlarge your body by a factor of 1,000. Take a walk around the Earth. Then grow again. And again. Travel past the edge of the universe. What's it like out there?
Here's another great unknown - what's beyond the edge of the universe? (If you think there's nothing, jump ahead to #6.)
Remember, these are essentially thought experiments and your experience of the edge of the universe is purely a fun fantasy.
But, like a Limitless pill popper, in a lucid dream you have access to forgotten memories and expanded imagination. This is your best shot at fathoming what might be out there.
Perhaps it's the next universe along. Perhaps it's infinite candy floss. Perhaps it's a giant hand holding a snow globe. I wouldn't want to put ideas in your head.
4.宇宙边缘
在梦里让你的身体放大1000倍，围着地球绕一圈，然后再放大一次身体，一次有一次的重复。穿越宇宙的边缘，外面是什么样的？
这是另一个重大的未知事物---越过宇宙的边缘是什么？（如果你认为哪里什么也没有，请直接看第六个挑战）
你需要记住，这些思想实验的本质是你对宇宙边缘最纯粹的幻想。
但是，就像无限的波普尔药丸，你可以通过在一个清醒梦中得到你遗忘的记忆，以及拓宽你的想象力。这也许是你对它彻底了解最好的方式。
它也许是下一个宇宙，也可能它只是一个极大的棉花，有或许是一个巨人手持着一个雪球。我不想把这些想法植入你的脑子里。

5. Meet Your Parallel Self
Jump into a parallel universe in which you never moved house, took that job or met your partner. What's different? How did your alternate life turn out?
According to Many Worlds theory, we live in an infinite web of alternate timelines.
Such a claim is laden with scientific, philosophical and existential implications.
But for now let's focus on one, admittedly egotistical, significance. What were the key moments in your life that changed everything after?
The theory suggests that new universes are spawned for every possible scenario with more than outcome. Even whether you had cereal or toast for breakfast.
However, this experiment focuses on the big decisions in your life and allows the butterfly effect to play out in your lucid dream.
It's important NOT to control this lucid dream challenge. Just ask to meet an alternate self and let the dream play out.
5.与平行线上的你相遇
进入你尚未搬家，未曾做过那份工作，没有遇见你的同伴的平行宇宙，有什么不同呢？在这里你一生的结果是如何交替的？
根据许多世界方面的理论，我们生活在一个无限交替的时间线上。
这种断言充满了科学，哲学和存在的涵义。
但现在，让我们把注意力放在那个改变了生命轨迹的关键的一步上（由紫薯辅助翻译）。
这个理论认为，新的宇宙是为一切可能的情节而发生的，而非结果，无论你早餐吃的是麦片或是烤面包。
然而，这个实验关注的是你生活中的重大的决定，并且允许蝴蝶效应在你的清醒梦中发挥作用。
这个清醒梦挑战最重要的不是去控制它，仅仅需要邀请另一个你，并且让你的梦发挥作用。

6. Enter The Void
Allow the dream to dissolve visually, so all that's left is empty nothingness. Some dreamers call this The Void. (You can also access it by traveling really fast.) How does it feel to experience pure consciousness with no sensory distractions?
The Void, as it has become known in the lucid dreaming community, is the place where you collapse the imagery and the sensory data of the dream.
That can be peaceful or it can be alarming.
But it’s a real eye-opener to exist like that, acutely aware of nothing at all. I'd describe it as a kind of meditation because your awareness is so easily focused on absolutely nothing.
Sometimes The Void is overtaken by complex geometric shapes, like an invasion of hypnagogia. Even if this happens it's really mind-boggling to observe.
In Tibetan Dream Yoga, this is the ultimate goal of lucid dreaming.
6，进入虚无
因为允许梦使你表面上能看见的都消失，所以剩下的一切都是空洞虚无的。一些清醒梦者称其为“虚无"(你也可以以极快的速度来进入其中)。在毫无感官干扰的情况下体验纯粹的知觉感觉如何？
虚无，在清醒梦社区中逐渐为人所知，这里是你在梦里瓦解意向和感知数据的地方。
它可以是平静的，也可以是使人惊恐的。
但是，像这样的存在真的使人大开眼界，你可以清楚的知道其中什么都没有。我将它形容成一种冥想，因为你的意识绝对可以非常容易的集中于任何事物上。
有时，虚无会被复杂的几何图形所取代，就像是临睡幻觉的侵袭。即使真的发生，也非常难以被观察到。
在西藏的梦瑜伽中，这是清醒梦境的最终目标。

总体评价一下。king同学的翻译水平挺高的，我觉得超出了我对于初中生的认识。非常棒。
你在翻译比较具象的东西的时候表现的比翻译抽象的东西的时候更好一些。在翻译的用词上还不够灵活。还可以更灵活飘逸一点。
另外，额外表扬，非常贴心的把英文也贴上了，让我的批改很方便。特别棒！能看出你有条理又细心。
