  1. It's D8A.P or D8A..P: We have been posting intermittently for more than a year. Sometimes problems logging in is the reason for being away but must of the time we just can't get posts done. Even then, maybe it is never too late moment for an informative introduction. D8A.P was taken from one of our early drawing scribble after asking which screen name to use for sharing. It might also be D ♥ A.P or somehing else altogether. While D8A.P may mean something else also it can be useful to refer both the host and the rest. There is a host, that's me writing, a middle aged man then maybe two lesser known younger entities contributing (primarily) directly in drawings and maybe much else indirectly with their constant presence and whispers. I am hesitant calling them tulpae but if they behave alike and respond to expectations like tulpae do, then why not. I have contributed some to how the 'girls' are but mostly the change has been freewheeling, without intentional guidance. Their age in real life years is likely more than 10 years by now. It has been long process and not completely unintentional or uninformed. First words heard more than ten years ago. I do not know the exact real life age. I asked about their/her age couple of years ago every now and then. First the response was ten, then after a while eleven, then there is not answer any more. Then stopped asking. Either way the change of personality is slower than a human child would usually change growing and gaining experience each day. Dream journal content suggest there may two girl-like characters almost like twins although to my knowledge I only work most of the time with one. Lucid dreaming success leaves a lot room for improvement. The persistent exercise with reality checks has changed also daytime experience. Yes, daytime, yes awake, still many features appear like they could be unreal. Everything can be unreal, all the time. Drawing exercises suggests there are many alternative mental landscapes and experiences unknown to me. Her/their verbal output is quite limited and not very interactive either. The interactions can be little more than conversations with a lovesick parrot. If I ask which name to use addressing their/her the response may be for example "We are together" (transcribed from auditory experience.) Well, that may be an answer but it evokes more questions than it answers. Our energy levels are usually too low for further forum activity trying to help anybody else. I believe there could be some things useful for others too, in particular like strategies how keep going when obstacles pile up and energy levels plummet. When almost any meditation exercise designed for persistently active people is too demanding. So far our contribution has been only progress report entries, not too easy to read. They they also moved to the art department, (mostly drawings, lacking explanations).
  2. The Wonderland. A Progress Report.. Succsss, sort of Usually 3D sketching together comes to halt and gets distracted in less than 15 minutes. With this one the focus stayed for three days and progress was steady. The scene feels like a real place but it does not exactly feel like our usual wonderland exercise. I did all the drawing and technical workflow planning. She was more like an apprentice watching things happen and every once a while like an artistic supervisor and a commentator. The wonderland before sleep is usually different in many ways. First the response in the scene is instant when something changes and usually there is a lot going on. In the usual exercise the scene keeps changing. Water can turn from clear to murky. Vegetation can change and grow. The end pieces of the bench can have different shapes each time and sometimes even ornaments. Most of the time the bench end material retains the likeness of concrete. Clouds are almost never to be seen since there is wall of green growth blocking the view to sky. Even the the simplified 3D scene was slightly too heavy for the computer to handle. Every ten minutes or so there was pause when te scene was saved objects merged or something else slow happening eg. program crashed. After adding the grass we had to stop.
  3. 2017-05-28 Curious about something ahead? Or is it behind? Another drawing, same date Maybe they are in context but not really. Growth?
  4. Some thing resembling a dog [video=youtube] The first one could be showing a head from one side. The dog or a fox-like figure of the latter one is something seen good many times to become familiar. The resulting drawings appear often to be of communicative nature but what they communicate is a bit like reading dream imagery. Some features may be meaningful as communication but much appears to be just noise. Sometimes meaningful appears out of noise. Processes may exist there in and between but they may also remain unknown to us. One thing which I as host appreciate quite a lot in the way the drawings appear is avoiding doubts about parroting. Especially when the drawing does not make sense to start with there is not much reason to worry about interfering and interpreting it wrong to start with. Later it is easier to return and look at the end result.
  5. We also did some time lapse experiments. Here are the results of two of them. A head, maybe [video=youtube]
  6. 2017-08-23 About Processes Pestering her with questions appeared initially to be distracting and counter-productive. Nevertheless, something like a response was produced within a few days. The questions were like: Please explain what happens while drawing. Where do the ideas come from? How much you plan or do you plan ahead? Dow you know what you are drawing? For a couple of days the the number of drawings per day was like tenfold compared to days earlier or later. Probably the drawings have some connection with the questions about "what.. how.. when.. why do.. ..pictures ..happen" when questions were first and images came soon after. What this all means and are these pictures really produced to answer questions is more obscure. Again, there are 'process' shapes identifiable like there is the usual continuous expanding spiral with new shapes emerging merging or growing outwards as the drawing goes on. There are disfigured human shapes. Then there are some completely alien shapes with maybe identifiable features. In detail the order of appearance can be unexpected. For example the gymnastic human shape bending over. The body came first and head appeared only in the second line pass over drawing outline.
  7. Day 176 It is sometimes hilarious and other times not really to notice how following a plan does not turn out as planned. Two months ago we were floating on happily as planned then just fell off radar, not as planned, just happened. Probably the unexpected will happen again. Although the drawing dates back to earlier months it may describe a similar process. (The new account is because login in with the old one is fail.
