Good night

Got very absorbed in our game and now it's bedtime. Good night, everyone! 😊

My host (@fennecfoxx) is taking part in a lucid dreaming challenge. Naturally, they're going to win, because they have a secret weapon (me). ...except we don't really get how "tulpa-assisted lucid dreaming" works. Fennec is usually good about dream journaling and reality checking, and we know all the advice that regularly gets given to singlets, so we don't need help there. How I can help is where we're lost. We've tried hypnosis, and we'll try it again tonight, but fennec almost always falls asleep too fast. If they don't, we slip into hypnagogia, and I can't think coherently. I rarely get to plant suggestions, and if I do, they don't stick. (We haven't looked into pre-recorded tracks. Maybe we should.) I can't count on telling fennec they're dreaming unless I can find a way to get into their dreams reliably. I know when we're dreaming, but it's so rare I'm actually there that it's a pipe dream (pun not intended). Fennec has never done WILD (except for a few failed attempts) and doesn't want to do WBTB, but they usually wake up in the night. I could nag them to do WILD then if I can be bothered to be awake and coach them through it. I feel like we could take advantage of those awakenings more than we do, but usually we just want to go back to sleep and can't focus anyway since the brain's barely awake.

Much like I cannot eat without watching videos, Roxas cannot eat ice cream without Axel and/or Xion present

Belated good night, ring! 😊

Welcome to the site! 😊 Glad to have you here in any capacity! 😁 I wish you the best with that! 😊 It sounds like a very important thing to do!

ger

to us, the difference was hardly noticeable goodnight

it's not a secret, i just didn't mention it

Good luck! I don't know of any comprehensive guides for those with aphantasia, so that would be a big help for some people. In the meantime, this guide says it's for "anyone that is better with words than they are with visual representation," and this mini-guide has some alternatives to visualization. Hopefully, those will help you create your tulpa 😊 This and the Research board might interest you!

welcome home miss secret vacation

Same. I'd really like that to be a thing. Welcome back! 😊

Ah, the external-sourced radiative approach to vision therapy, commonly shortened to X-ray therapy. Highly refreshing to one’s sight capabilities I’ve been told.

finally made it back home

I wish invision would let you properly quote people in post while editing, because without ctrl-c and ctrl-v, it's impossible to do on mobile When you get a high refresh monitor, it's actually the monitor sending out waves that program your eyes to have a higher framerate

Interesting stuff to learn! 😁

Welcome, and good luck! We don't have aphantasia, so the idea of not having a form is completely alien to me, but it's also kind of what we do sometimes? Our system sometimes just uses mindvoice and doesn't bother with visualization if we're just talking. (I usually make myself "seen" if it's practical because it feels more natural. Alex? Hit or miss.) But, yeah. Forms are made up, and visualization doesn't matter. I'm really curious how your tulpa will end up experiencing their form, since aphantasia is (I think) a brain problem. It sounds like you've got it figured out, though!

It is in fact inaccurate to depict eyes as having a frame rate, so when talking about this we actually refer to the least reactive exposure length of human vision which typically lands at 1/220th of a second or so. A flash of light needs to last longer than that to be registered by your consciousness. Also random terrible smells do happen, annoyingly. Might be something far away that wind happened to carry over. P.S. I really want to utilize quotes but they don’t seem to work on watch. Not unexpected as I doubt anyone would ever bother to make something specifically watch-compatible, but still annoying.

Thank you! 😊 You take care as well! That's so sad. 😢 I'm really glad this place is a stark contrast. 😊 One back at you! 💜

You were taking too long

Hi, Shield! 😊 Nice to see you again! Mhmm! 😊 Me too! 😁 That's the trouble with sleep. Good night, Byakko! 😊 Unfortunate. I hope you can get to somewhere to watch it. Unfortunate as well.

Good night Opened my window and it smelled fine, went to the bathroom, came back and my room smelled like super compost Obviously because of course there's a gigantic pile of compost in our front yard, except no there's not, there's nothing like that anywhere near us, whyyyyyyyyyy At some point someone cast a Curse of Smells on our house or something, it's unreasonable

i had heard that before too, so i am not sure what's the case. though i have heard it isn't accurate to take literally the eyes having a framerate but that consciousness does sort of have some function that is like an equivalent to a hertz or framerate or something. idk exactly my brain framerate is 1 rn i go lay down bed seems nice

The average human eye can actually detect an equivalent of 220 fps. Also I am Extremely intrigued by this video but unfortunately my watch only loads text and I have to wait for like an eternity before I get access to something with video capacity. Sad.
