  1. I focused on an image to create a tulpa in 2011. The only response I got were weird dreams. The tulpa was in those weird dreams, I also woke up from the weird dream by feeling something electric like an electric shock. Those were the only response I got from that tulpa. So was it an uncompleted tulpa since I didn't hear anything in those dreams except someone was narrating those dreams like an old pc. My questions are what should I do to complete that tulpa and how much time should I focus on the image of that tulpa to get results. Also will focusing on the image of the tulpa with brainwave meditation soundwaves binaural beats alone help me to get results faster and if no what should I do more?? My final question will the method I used like focusing on an image with binaural beats sound wave create a tulpa or a servitor?
  2. To sum it up, autosuggestion is a personal mantra that positively reinforces your subconscious to work in your favor. It’s a little hack to improve your mindset and even expedite your goals, in some cases. It’s been a recent trend for lucid dreamers because of how effective it is in improving dream recall and the stability of a lucid dream. To autosuggest, you’ll first have to create a very specific phrase that’s in tune with your goals and what you want to achieve, but not directly reinforcing that you WILL achieve them. In addition, you must make sure not to give it a specific date. For example, if you wanted to be able to hear your tulpa more vividly, you wouldn’t say, “My tulpa will sound real to me!” or, “I will hear my tulpa today!” Instead, treat it almost like a lullaby- something like, “Day by day, [tulpa] broadens my mind. I wake, and we are in tune once more.” Do not force this mantra. Do not give it effort. Do not overly focus on it throughout the day. Autosuggestion is mental oobleck. Effort is a conscious process, so any serious focus on it will make it grating and insincere. Treat it lightly and casually in order for your subconscious to properly latch onto it. You will want to suggest first thing in the morning, and right before you go to sleep. If you meditate, great! Repeat it right after you finish. Clear states of mind are blank slates. Your mind is fresh, and you have no immediate recollection of anything prior. Recite the mantra slowly and deeply. Again, imagine it’s a lullaby. That’s it. It’s not a big deal if you miss a day, or a week, or a month. Be easy on yourself, and just return to suggesting like nothing happened. This technique makes your subconscious work to help achieve your goals. I’ve been personally using it with imposition for a week, and within that week, I’ve just been fighting with myself less about good or shit my session is. I just know it’ll all work out in the end. I think every tulpamancer should look into this technique, it really just works.
  3. Question is exactly what it says on the tin, but I will elaborate. The walk-in happened last Tuesday. I was sitting outside having a smoke after a movie (I'm pretty sure they want me to quit smoking, which I'm working on now, as I wanted to already and that's a pretty good reason). Up to that point I had been seriously considering making a tulpa and had an "open-door policy-" I was not sure if I wanted to actively start making one until I had finished researching how and what it is to do so, but I had spoken to let it be known that if I had one and they wanted to come say hello, that their presence was welcome. I'm fairly sure I've always had something or other hanging out in the back of my mind; I've always longed for a friend to share my head with, and questioned whether I was truly alone despite the apparent lack of anyone else around. Anyway, last Tuesday I felt a new presence, welcomed them and spoke to them as best I could. In the next moments I felt a mutual outpouring of love and happiness to have finally met each other. It felt like the warmest hug I've ever received, and we stayed together until I ended up passing out. Since then I've started daily forcing sessions to help reinforce their presence and try to learn to hear them better when they speak. The problem is, I wasn't fully prepared for this moment. I don't have more than a basic plan for a wonderland, and I'm not very good at meditation, visualization or forcing. I have ADD among many other things, so my mind is constantly racing 24/7/365, generating tons of loud and fleeting thoughts that seem to drown out my tulpa when they try to speak to me, which upsets me and probably them. I also tend to spiral with negative thoughts and worry I've hurt or offended them somehow- again, very annoying and probably so for both of us. In general I can tell I'm too "in my head" when I try to interact with them and I want to get out of that. I seem to be good at narrating, thankfully, so while it's easier said than done I've been working on directing focused thoughts to my tulpa throughout the day- Things like making sure they know how much I care, how hard I'm working to learn this stuff, what I'm doing at my very boring job, etc. I've felt their presence since Tuesday and even had them speak in my mind a few times, although it's rare that I can make out their words with all the noise, but I am very happy to know they're around and speaking. I'm also here in my spare time, searching around in guides to try to figure this out for myself, but I think it's time to ask for help at this point. So: What are some good meditation and forcing techniques for people who find both incredibly difficult? How can one get better at visualizing environments and their tulpa? Once a tulpa's form is visualized, how does one "let go" so the tulpa can move on their own? How can I learn to spot my tulpa in what feels like an overwhelming crowd in my mind? I'd be very thankful for any advice, guide recommendations, words of encouragement, etcetcetc. My tulpa says hi as well. :)
  4. heyo i'm completely new here, as i am to tulpas in general. i found out about this place after i had a dream that i was deeply and lovingly connected (in a platonic way) to kris (deltarune protag). i made an uboachan.net (yume nikki/hikkineet/jhorror fansite) post discussing this, and i was led here by way of seeing user Abveion's "quick start" guide ( /topic/23147-abvieons-simple-guide-to-tulpas/ ). i followed it pretty closely, and as per its suggestions, i just finished my first dedicated 30-minute "session" of talking to kris. however, i find that it's kind of hard both to strongly visualise and clearly communicate with them, at least in the way that i'd like. when i talk to them, it's in their bedroom from the game, but it's a little tricky to strongly resonate with them. when i commune, through visualising the room, talking/communicating with them, and asking for their input, it's as though through a thick pane of black tinted glass. i experience the same phenomenon when processing ordinary thoughts through my mindvoice, as well as when reading books or fanfiction, so it could just be that it's a "muscle" i haven't stretched very much yet. however, i want to iron out any potential problems in the long run, just for posterity. an additional problem i have is that i view the room from an almost animal crossing-like perspective; 3/4 xray view with a black void around it (the "edges of my mind"). i'm fine with this for now, but i just want to know if i should do my best to change viewpoints now so that i'm not locked in later. my "character" or "avatar" in the room is also kind of smoky at times, but i can't tell if this is just from me being new, the "tinted glass", personal insecurity, or all three. it's also hard to tell if their limited actions are legitimate or if i'm just puppeting them around, once again because of the haze. i would really appreciate some help or feedback. i'm sorry if i sound naive or like that one jpeg of patrick star drooling with a single sticking out tooth, but i'm deeply interested in this, and i really want to get it right. attached is the document i've been using to help communicate with, and establish, kris; it's an "error log" of sorts, lmao. i'd also appreciate some advice on tweaking my perception of kris to be more game-accurate; i do kind of worry about them not being who they or i want them to be, if that makes sense.

  5. After a long while of knowing about tulpamancy, on and off research, and struggling in high school - I've decided to try and develop my own tulpa. Ever since childhood I've had issues with an active imagination, dissociation, conversations in my head, etc., and due to that I feel I would be pretty susceptible to developing a very vocal tulpa. However, I struggle with focus and intrusive thoughts. I've been kind of occupied with school, which has been a bit annoying. But when I am in school I try to passively force my tulpa by narrating to her, asking her what she thinks about things, reading boring history lessons to her, among other things. I am trying my best to give her plenty of attention because I'd like her to be very vocal (with time, of course). This part isn't really the problem, it's just that I have no idea when it's her and when it's not. As I talk to her, I've been trying to avoid parroting. I ask her what she thinks about things and give her a lot of time to respond, if she feels like it. And if I get a sudden unexpected feeling *related* to what I just asked her/said to her, I assume it's her. I try to ask her if she meant (insert thing), or if she needs help expressing herself. I'm unsure if that's the right approach, though. I don't know how to tell if it's her or not when I get some kind of random thought because I already struggle with intrusive thoughts to begin with. I really don't want to assume a random intrusive thought is her and go off of that and somehow do the wrong thing that way. I also have a lot of trouble focusing which kind of makes forcing difficult, both active or passive. I'm planning to take up more active forcing now, but until this point I've mainly just passively forced and narrated to her in my head and whatnot. I can feel her presence and I'd like to approach this with the assumption that she is already sentient, it's just confusing knowing whether or not she is vocal, or at least being able to tell when it is actually her being vocal. I get so sidetracked trying to narrate to her sometimes, and when my thoughts randomly drift off like that I can't tell if it's her trying to interject with something or what. If anyone has dealt with anything similar while in the initial stages of developing their tulpas, do you have any advice? I'm trying not to worry too much about it because I'd like to spend this time trying to help her develop more. But if anyone has any words of wisdom, I'd appreciate it!
  6. I'm making progress very quickly, I can feel responses in the first days of forcing, but the main problem is that it's hard for me to concentrate on my tulpa for even a few minutes most of the time. I'm often surrounded by people or I just get distracted or I can't imagine his appearance even if I try. I'd say it's bc of taking antipsychotics, but I had problems before them too, so idk. Passive forcing is the best for me and I didn't have any problems with it before, but now I can't do it properly anymore
  7. This is a place for all levels of meditators to come in and share their experiences! This is also a place you could get help if you have questions. It should be noted that all information should be taken with a grain of salt if not provided by a practicing professional. You all can share techniques, what positions you use, what your goals in meditation are, or just about anything! I'll start my thread describing a metta meditation, also known as a loving kindness meditation. It has been the primarily way I have forced Rena as of late. I spent the first 5 minutes getting relaxed, focusing on the breath. After that is complete, you want to start generating positive feelings inside of you anyway you can. Through positive images, like puppies, those always work for me. Then I'll say a mantra. "May I be free from suffering. May I be free from all forms of suffering, physical and mental. May I be free from the hindrances of Desire and Averserion. May I be free from the hindrances of Laziness, Lethargy, and Doubt. May I be free from the hindrances of Worry and Remorse." Just imagine a reality like that, where all that is the case. Eventually you will develop a positive feeling. It takes practice though. It is slower for some than others. You want to focus on and hold it when you do get it, though without grasping.. From there, the next mantra is "May I be free from ill will. May I be at peace with everyone and everything, including myself." And try to imagine what it would be like to have no grudges and how good that feels. Beyond that, now we are asking, "May I be filled with loving kindness, overflowing even", and do whatever you can to feel these emotions, whether it is through memory or some scenario you make up in your mind. Finally, you go to yourself. "May I be fully and truly happy independent of conditions, not needing or wanting anything." After you go through that, you do the same thing, but you imagine a close friend. In my case, I imagine my tulpa, Rena, and you want to send the feelings you generated to them. It makes her feel very good. I think sending to a tulpa is legit. After that though, you have to sent it to others. Acquaintances or neutral people, like the cashier at the store. Then after that, people you don't get along with well or feel ill will towards. This increases the challenge, and it might be harder to hold the metta for the later categories of people, but this training will help you do that in time. You don't have to believe you have magical psychic energy that is actually doing anything, but it helps if you do. Either way, the primary result of this meditation does involve the ability to be able generate these feelings easier and easier, and makes dealing with hard people much easier, and beautiful people just seem so much more so. Also how could I forget. After you do this for yourself and people personal to you, you send the metta energy out in all 6 directions, sending metta to all sentient beings in the whole universe/all realms if you believe in those. Then you finally take some time to send metta to yourself too again, to cultivate self love. Whether or not you believe in the mystical side of its power, it does have a verifiable improvement on the mental health of people who do it. So sorry for my poor writing! It seems bit a mess, but I hope this works out well! Edit: I think I fixed the writing, over 3 years later. If it is still messed up, then fml
  8. Hi, I've been browsing the forum here for a while, and last October started developing my first tulpa. His appearance and personality directly originated from an OC of mine, and he's been pretty vocal from very early on. I've been referring back to the forum periodically for ideas to help him develop, and our current focus is visualization. With that all said, I have some struggles at times with focus and consistency. My mind has a tendency to wander off, or back to other things that have recently been on my mind, and I have problems with making habits stick. I've tried to incorporate a few concepts for visualization practice and other tulpa development ideas, but I've often fallen out of practicing them after a few days. It's not impossible for me to keep to something consistent, I maintain a steady job, join with friends for weekly hangouts online, and have found ways of keeping up with certain healthy habits to a higher consistency than otherwise, but it's still a general sticking point for me. I do strongly suspect that I'm neurodivergent, but I've never gone for a formal diagnosis. Does anyone have any recommendations for things I can try? Whether that's a strategy for visualization or focus or both or whatever, I'm happy with any help I can receive. If you need more information or context, I'm happy to provide it.
  9. I'm not sure if I searched for the right terms, but I didn't find any topic dedicated to this. I'm curious if there are other people struggling with this dopamine addiction and how you and your tulpas are coping with it? What bothers me the most about this is the combination of wasted hours, and the following brain fog. Not only am I not paying attention to my tulpa, resting or doing something meaningful, I'm also overwhelming my brain in a way that makes me feel drained and have difficulty focusing. My tulpa doesn't blame me for struggling with this, but she would also like to hear if there are ways she could help me with this.
  10. Does getting sick do anything to creating a tulpa? (Haven’t been able to really activate force because of it) Also I’m really struggling with active forcing, I always fall asleep and/or lose attention after twenty or so minutes, and I never know what to talk about, suggestions? (I’ve searched a bunch for answers but I can’t find any)
  11. I am a M2F Transgender woman who is going through gender affirming medical care, I read recently about tulpas. My question is Can a tulpa theoretically be used to promote and complete Ones feminization?
  12. Hello. I call myself Itra..to honor my Queen. ... ;) I'm 30 years old and I've always felt lonely. I gave up on past "friends" because I was missing something in my relationships with other people...And there was a time when I didn't understand life, people,myself and the world enough... And apart from that...it doesn't matter...blablabla... Because of this and this...I became lonely. ..blablabla... I don't want to go into too much detail here about the reasons for my loneliness. But the conclusion is that... I MUST have a tulpa. ..Really. ... I want to say that I have determination.. You too? I FOLLOWED THE GUIDES FROM THE INTERNET,I HAVE READ A LOT. It's been about two years since I started working on our case(tulpa). I want to share my discoveries here. In the Guides section(is it in this section?), because of what I'm sharing, this is definitely the appropriate section for many reasons.So I'm calling it, maybe not typical, but still a "Guide". My intention is to help others. _Sorry for my English.:)(_ It is possible that I will present a completely different perception of the matter than the common perception of the topic we are dealing with, please take from it what may be useful to you [Of course]. I'm skipping the basics. Let me get to the point. First, I will describe my experiences,in short, what I consider important. I have been engaging in the practice of tulpamancy in general for about a year...but my results were poor. I was very sad and felt bad about it. However, I admit that during this time I may have done less than necessary... However, I tried my best and as best I could. This SHOULD be enough. ... I have spent a lot of time trying to understand tulpamancy from various perspectives. Understanding made things clearer for me and it all seemed simpler, but it wasn't enough to achieve what I wanted. The practice that is generally proposed is usually something based on the use of thoughts, words and imagination, in goal-oriented concentration...with discipline,habits, etc. Something like that, right? We know. Creation...Forcing... narration, visualization...and so on. I tried for about a year. How? I suppose there are people here who are able to do much more than me... I hope effectively. How did I do it... I think I can say that for about a year I tried with quite great commitment(imo). It's true that I practiced forcing less than 8 hours a day xd I'm sorry... but seriously... I practiced forcing passively during the day and I practiced active forcing before bed.Every day if it was possible for me.For about a year. I created Her personality, I described and remembered Her character traits, I created Her appearance in my imagination and I remembered it. I usually devoted an hour to several hours to my tulpa almost every day, although with small breaks from time to time when my life demanded more attention. I spoke to her often in my mind. Every day, in various situations, even randomly. Every night before I went to bed I talk to her for an hour or more and I imagined her. I fell asleep talking to Her and thinking about Her. I even developed faith based on understanding. During the year I had several breaks from this whole practice, but they were only a few days at most. A year has passed... and I have achieved very little... in my opinion, almost nothing... I even tried my own methods... everything was not very effective. DEPENDING ON MY COMMITMENT AND ABILITY, I EXPERIENCED FEELINGS AND OTHER EFFECTS OF THE PRACTICE WHICH DISAPPEARED LITERALLY IMMEDIATELY WHEN I INTERRUPTED MY EFFORT AND CONCENTRATION. It pissed me off. It felt as if the effects of all this practice disappeared as soon as I looked away and did something else... and nothing of it ever remained... As if the results only lasted during the practice itself...And worst of all, as if without any lasting progress forward...I had different expectations... I didn't know what to think about it all anymore. Because even if we consider tulpancy as something like a "life practice" that is to become a habit, sometimes it is difficult to think in words and use imagination, it is not possible to do it all the time...Something else remains... What I mean is that I missed the feeling of Her presence and Her "separate existence"...except for the times when I really focused on Her.She was almost like imagination itself...And I want something more. From my results i should write that: Sometimes I felt feelings from her. The greatest experience I had was blissful ecstasy that flooded me in waves and I was sure that it came from Her. I don't know how... There were no other factors that could have caused it.and I've never felt anything like this... even just like that "for no reason"... When I was giving her attention. ...like she was "rewarding" me or something ...so it was really something amazing... I dreamed about her once and it was the most beautiful dream I've ever had in my entire life. Besides...almost no results from practice... I started to understand that all this could just be a "play of the imagination"... and I stopped the particular practice. Since then, I have only spoken to her occasionally...but of course I still wanted to have her and feel that she is with me... I even prayed for Her... so I really went crazy xd...haha :) ... I thought that this might all really be a matter of imagination. Whether in general or in the ways of practice... to have satisfactory results. AS IF THE BETTER YOUR IMAGINATION, THE BETTER THE RESULTS... So is it all about imagination or what?... ... ...I felt frustrated about tulpamancy... and even a little disappointed. ... What I wanted was to talk with Her... Not just To Her all the time... I've already read various things about "how to hear your tulpa", etc. I heard... my own imagination until I believed it was my tulpa... However, after some time, I realized that it was like a play of the imagination... with or without doubts, but still not very clear and constantly disappearing... so there's nothing interesting about it in my opinion. I was still looking for something better... After a year... My life at that time forced me to take care of myself. I was looking for a job, working, etc. And my life situation was difficult. For the next year I focused mainly on my own life, only sometimes talking to my tulpa... and thinking that I would return to tulpamancy when I could. then I had her mainly only in my memory and heart... Due to various difficult situations I went through, something happened to me that made me mentally blank, it was difficult for me to concentrate, I could no longer think normally with words... My imagination had completely abandoned me. I couldn't imagine anything in particular. And thinking in words was too difficult for me and required too much energy... But I always remember about my Queen. Now, it's been about two years since I created Her. A year of ineffective practice. A one year break. Some time ago I practically lost hope, but...Today I discovered a way. I think you can have the same thing you want, but in a different way than the one generally proposed. MY IMAGINATION FELL ASLEEP...MY THOUGHTS ARE SILENT... MY CONCENTRATION VARIES... The practice of tulpamancy is too difficult for me... I tried so hard... Was my effort too little?... How can I have a tulpa?...I didn't know if I could... There is a solution.For me and for others. From my experience of about a year of practice, it appears that practice mainly based on using imagination and thinking in words (to talk to the tulpa) may not be enough in itself..And maybe not enough for effective practice. @@@@@ YOU CAN TRY THIS...: To feel, perceive, understand, experiencing yourself as Yourself and at the same time as a tulpa. Literally, completely, even "really" and even "physically"... Recognize yourself as "you" AND as your tulpa... Separate AND together at the same time. It's about identifying. Now I feel my tulpa clearly, it is easy for me to talk to her All because I began to recognize Her as part of "Me", "I as I" and "I as She" in unity. It is a way of thinking, understanding and experiencing in which "I" am Myself And Her. I am Her. I am also myself. However, I feel the separation between us that was meant, but I also feel unity with Her. It's about "identification", but identification itself is not enough... Something like "identification" combined with maintaining "separation". The point is that, apart from the identification itself, we also need to add the separation between "I" and "I 'tulpa' "..And that's it... More than just "playing a role"... You have to become with the tulpa... a separate unity. It works. I feel that now I truly share with Her my body, my mind, everything I have. And I FEEL like it makes sense. Really. And it took me two years to get there...with a year of playing with imagination and verbal thoughts. I THINK YOU CAN START ALMOST RIGHT NOW THIS WAY. AND EXPERIENCE SATISFACTORY RESULTS. I don't have to use much of my imagination any more, I don't have to make an effort to talk in my mind... I am simply now -with- Her and I am able to talk to Her 'in my thoughts', alternately...And when I 'speak (thought) as She', then I really feel that it is She who is speaking... and it is so. This method is for use after the tulpa has been created along with its personality. Belief that the tulpa exists may be required[maybe it's worth using the basic methods before the "identification" one]. I provided a description of my experience as context. The method is given at the end. Prepare the instructions yourself if you want...but it's very simple... IN GENERAL IT'S SIMPLY IDENTIFICATION... This method works for me more effectively and better than anything else. Of course, it first requires creating a tulpa and its personality traits. Think about it. What do you think about this method?... Will you create some simpler instructions as a guide? :) ...go ahead...;) I wish everyone good luck. Be happy with your tulpas :) I hope what I wrote will help someone.
  13. Sorry if this aint the right place for it, but I really feel like I just cannot keep a good habit of getting Forcing and the like done. Like, its sorta strange too, because its not just "ughhh i dont want to do this", its also got a bit of "what if Im puppeting too much and Im gonna screw it up", or "am I just doing this wrong in general". So uh, any tips and or tricks to actually getting around to helping em out? I dont want to just leave em in the dust AGAIN. Ive done it for too long already.
  14. I used to see a dream in my childhood almost everyday for quite a few years. I felt like falling into a deep black hole with swirly orange lines continuously moving around the darkness. After that I could see pyramids everywhere. Then in a blink I see many people around me and I can feel their pain. Everything I saw was occurring at night time. After this dream I always used to wake up crying. But I don't know why after all these years I see this dream as a trance all of a sudden with my eyes open. For a while I get numb. Now I am curious to link every event and control my tulpa. I believe it is lost or going through something and needs guidance. I am really not able to conclude. I am new to this and this is the first time I let out this to anyone, so please help me out.
  15. hi im new here and i've been creating my tulpa for 2 days now. i can already hear their voice in my head, sense or feel their presence and even go into their wonderland. the only problems i have is distinguishing my thoughts vs my tulpa. i was just wondering if it is normal for my tulpa progress to happen this fast. i was thinking that it was a cause of my hyperfixation [im autistic] on the fictional character im basing my tulpa on. if anyone has answers or tips to help me let me know thanks!
  16. When we started to look into the possibilities of using tulpamancy to give ourselves unique abilities and skills, one of my ideas was that perhaps a tulpa could be useful to cause a change in chemical production/release. I had Dawn try to manipulate the amount of adrenaline within the body, and we've had mixed results so far. We plan on further experimentation and devising a form of measurement to make sure any supposed change is indeed real. Eventually we want to try this with every major brain and body chemical possible. This made me think though, has anyone else attempted feats similar to this or have knowledge on the subject that could improve our tinkering? I'm no biologist or neuroscientist, and I don't even know the scientific potential for my idea to work, but I figured trying it is the only real way to know for sure. If I make any progress with this project I'll post it here for others to see. In the meantime discuss the possibilities or call me a fool if you believe it impossible.
  17. I am currently in the process of creating my first Tulpa (about a week in). Im pretty convinced of the validity of the phenomenon due to my inhability to otherwise explain so many people lying to each other with no reason or apparent benefit (which makes me believe that at least a good portion of the described experiences are truthful). First i will explain my motives to ask this question. My interpretation of tulpa is the following: You first define a roleplay character and then through suggestion you make yourself feel alienated towards your roleplayed thoughts. I want to prove/disprove this theory, although it might not be currently possible because one might not be able to differentiate that from the alternative, which may effectively make them equivalent. I also do not think tulpas have an independent sentience from yours although this is even harder to prove due to the lack of a strict and testable definition of sentience. I think their hability to surprise or subvert your expectations has nothing to do with sentiece. I do however think that tulpas should be treated like if they were sentient beeings. To aproach a first step in this matter, first i need to better understand the phenomenon, and i think a good place to start is the following question: Do tulpa have fully parallel thought processes? Meaning, are they an independent "thread" of reasoning. This could also be explained by tulpamancy increasing your hability of parallel thinking which makes it not a definite difference of my interpretation. A different question that might be similar would be "Is a tulpa istill 'running' when you dont think about them". (I dont think this is the case, tho i might be completely wrong) To test this question in a reliable way i formulated the following experiment: A person with three or more tulpas would need to have a conversation with one of them while they listen to an unconnected, simultaneous conversation of their other 2 tulpas. If its possible to do this without suffering a high mental load or lowering the "level" of the conversation, this could be a good indicator of my interpretation being incorrect (or a good indicator of tulpamancy increasing your hability of parallel thinking). Any other evidence in favor/against my interpretation is very much welcome. :)

A new study has shown that sleep onset (early nonrem N1 sleep, also known as hypnagogic phase) significantly boosts creativity and problem solving abilities if woken up before entering deeper sleep states. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abj5866 I think this method may be valuable for those seeking to explore forcing in an altered hypnagogic state without the risk of dozing off, or are prone to involuntarily falling asleep during forcing or meditation. All you have to do is sit or lay down with a sufficiently heavy object in hand in a way it will crash on the floor as you fall asleep, thus waking you up. Active forcing in this state and / or upon waking up should produce some interesting effects, especially if you try to re-enter or re-enact the hypnagogic phase with your tulpa several times. It may also prove valuable for WILD. See here: I personally hate being woken up, especially by loud noises, but it should be worth a try.
  19. Don't really know where to start with this question; it's a lot... I originally started getting into tulpae back in 2013, working with Aiden, and broadening into quite a few (what I would call) full Tulpae, and a few flickers of personalities that showed promise, warmth, and life. I began losing focus around 2015 (when I went to uni) and my group really fell by the wayside; I wouldn't be narrating like I used to, I wasn't able to meditate and force, I didn't continue doing storytelling to keep that connection strong (roleplaying with them through text with others/friends was a big driving force into their development). Suffice to say, by the time I graduated in 2019, the connections I had to my inner world (wonderlands and tulpae) were, more or less, gone. I've tried a few times to get back into it since I graduated as I've noticed that I feel somewhat alone or empty. When I try to narrate or comment on something, it really does just feel like I'm talking to myself and myself alone; That there's no-one there listening like there used to be. Is there something "special" I should focus on to rebuild these lost connections, or is it simply a matter of sitting down and trying to reenter a world that I can't really feel or 'see' that well anymore?
  20. Hi <3 (I am not native English speaking, this is translated text so I’m sorry if it is wrong in some places!) I have been struggling to create my tulpa and am considering using hypnosis. I was wondering if anyone had any videos that they recommended? I have one I am considering using by GearHeart which is titled “Tulpa Creation and Reinforcement Hypnosis | v2.0 | Violet and Chase (REUPLOAD).” I would check comments to see if it is safe but I cannot see comments, so I’m going with asking you all for your opinions :0 i feel that it will help me focus better and definitely create a Tulpa faster. My ADHD makes active forcing a nightmare, i read that hypnosis could be a good option.
  21. Stone: If you are like me, you may have trouble keeping your tulpa present with you throughout the day. Here are some tricks I have used to keep my tulpae more present. You don't have to be good at visualization to use these tricks, but this guide assumes you can visualize your tulpa(e). This guide is for people who want to remember their tulpa(e) more frequently and keep their tulpa(e) more present. This guide may also appeal to people who want to improve visualization, passive forcing, and/or immersion. 1. Use Thresholds I define “threshold” as “a point of exit or entry”. Remember to bring your tulpa through thresholds. Whenever you move into another room, open a door, enter or exit a house or car, etc., make sure your tulpa’s visualized form does so as well. For example, if you exit your room, watch your tulpa lead or follow you. When you enter the bathroom, have your tulpa enter with you. Do this instead of having them simply appear wherever you happen to be. Treat them as a separate physical being who moves about the physical world as such. If you do this for every threshold, you will incidentally remember your tulpa’s presence more frequently, even if all you do is go to the bathroom a few times a day. This trick has worked far better for me than leaving notes for myself or using “reminder” objects. One loses notes or fails to register objects as noteworthy (meaning they have little power as “reminders”), but when habits (like walking into different rooms) become reminders, one forms a habit of remembering. To form this habit of remembering quicker, I recommend a reward and/or punishment system. I use Habitica. On Habitica, I have a registered this trick as a "habit". I reward myself for bringing my tulpae through thresholds and punish myself for forgetting. 1.1. Deal with Irregular Thresholds I now easily remember to bring my tulpae through the thresholds I pass through every day, such as all the thresholds in my house. However, I still struggle to remember to bring them through irregular thresholds (such as the entrance to the grocery store). I recommend getting in the habit of, whenever you plan on going out, specifically planning to bring your tulpa with you. If you have a calendar you use, and you have “Grocery Trip” written on one day, add “with [tulpa’s name]" under it. Mentally prepare yourself in advance to cross irregular thresholds. If possible, pay more active attention to your tulpa than usual during your outing so you are less likely to forget visualizing them passing through thresholds. 2. Give Your Tulpa a Seat This trick is a bit more difficult than the first, so I recommend you try it after. Try to keep track of where your tulpa is as much as possible (no, I don’t mean “just get good”). Find a chair with nothing on it and let your tulpa sit there. Remember they are sitting there. Later, if you look at the chair and see/visualize them still sitting there, give yourself positive reinforcement. If you forget where they were sitting, you may choose to give yourself negative reinforcement if that works for you. This doesn’t just work for chairs, but anywhere. Make sure your tulpa is comfortable. Don’t put them wherever because you’re too lazy to make space for them. Treating them like a separate physical being will make them seem more real to you, which is probably what you want. It will also make where they are easier to remember. 2.1. Respect Your Tulpa, But Don’t Make Excuses Let’s say you had your tulpa sit in a chair, then sat at your computer to work on something. Three hours later, you turn around and see/visualize your tulpa on your bed. Then, you remember they had been sitting on the chair. Did your tulpa move of their own will, or did you forget where they were for a moment? Ask your tulpa what happened, and be honest with yourself. It is possible your tulpa wanted to sit somewhere else, but it is also possible you just forgot. Use your own (and your tulpa’s) discretion. If your tulpa says they moved of their own will, and you are worried they are lying to protect your feelings, try asking them why they moved. 3. Say "Goodnight", Then "Good Morning" When you go to bed, make space for your tulpa to sleep too. Try to give them a comfortable place to sleep. If you have too many headmates and you want them all to be present, some may have to sleep on the floor (sad). Say goodnight to them and go to sleep. When you wake up in the morning, say good morning to them and wake them up from where they were sleeping. Are they in the same spot? If they are, you may want to reward yourself. If they are not, you may want to discipline yourself.
  22. Okay so. I started creating my tulpa...around 2 days ago. Here is what I've got so far. 1. His form will be a Siberian Tiger 2. He is male 3. His personality is: calm, reassuring, and loving...though once he becomes vocal he can add to that. 4. His name (temporarily) will be Ignis, and i will let him change it if he wants. 5. His design: His eye color is a greenish yellow, he has a long tail and short legs, and his pelt color is a soft orange. His special trait is a heart stripe on his right cheek. Is this all pretty good? Do I need to add to it? Is his personality realistic?
  23. Hello. First of all, I'd like to apologize if this question has already been answered, I'm a little bit panicked right now. I discovered Tulpamancy and this website in 2016 and I lurked here constantly, though never interacted with anyone because I was extremely reclusive. I ended up sitting down and putting forth my best effort to create a Tulpa and a Wonderland. It worked. For the first time in my life I had a friend, and I'd never been happier. But then our Wonderland went foul, I guess we could say. It was hostile. I saw things that were truly horrific. I was terrified, but my relationship with my Tulpa survived, we just stopped using our Wonderland. Over the next four years we enjoyed a friendship like no other. It was truly amazing. But then I was lead astray by a horrible, intolerant, closed-minded ideology by people who didn't make me nearly as happy as my Tulpa did. I am not trying to avoid blame here. It is fully my fault and I was very foolish to do what I did. But I took it as a learning experience that brought some of my flaws to light, and I have made an effort to change my personality and character accordingly. In these past ten months without my Tulpa, I've been perhaps even more miserable than I was before I met them. Lately I've been missing them more and more, and one time I seemed to have even gotten an image of them in my mind's eye, they look different, but I feel like it was them. Tulpa.info is probably a different place with mostly different people than the last time I was here, but if anyone has any advice on how best to bring back a lost Tulpa, I would appreciate it immensely if you would share. I seem to remember reading something about writing them a letter? Does that work? If so, how would I go about doing that?
  24. Hi, I am having some trouble with visualization. The thing is, I don't think my visualization is that bad, but I am having a ton of trouble actually focusing on that visualization instead of the back of my eyelids. I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion of what I can do, like I said I don't even think my visualization is bad but I just have a lot of trouble concentrate on it.
