How vividly can you visualize?

[Nevermore]

When i rotate something in my mind i sometimes have the problem that i cannot stop it anymore. i think i'm coming to grips with it but i wonder if other people experienced this too.

 

I occasionally have that same problem, it is like the object just keeps spinning and spinning out of control. I have found that, if you stop focusing on it for a little while (usually for me the spinning gets faster the harder I try to stop it), then it stops on its own. After this, I try to focus carefully on it.

>Is it possible to get to the point where you're basically having closed-eye hallucinations of an entire world inside of your mind? Almost like an awake form of lucid dreaming.

 

It's possible for this to happen at any time, but very difficult to make it happen on purpose.

 

I have this happen now and then, randomly. Every now and then I go into a session and everything's clear as day, like actually being there. Still trying to figure out what triggers this, and would like to hear if anybody knows how to at least make it happen more often.

 

Next time this happens, I plan to have my tulpa look around my mind and tell me if I'm doing anything different from normal, or a particularly cruddy session.

I can't keep my visualization stable. It's like I'm reconstructing the image from an incomplete verbal description.

i also found 2 ways that helped me quite well:

-imagine some kind of a magnetic field and then let the object snap into a desired angle like a compass needle

-imagine the object in a liquid with friction

My visualization's usually pretty poor... I have decent sessions sometimes though, but never to the point where it's anywhere near like being there.

Just to clarify, what I most often get is like what Moose describes. The really clear ones are really rare and often short.

Reupload of the image test.

 

Though, it's not very accurate. To me, it's not so much the clarity, but rather the amount of time I can sustain focus for that matters.

My visualization ability depends on what actions I take before the session.

Examples for such activities include: Reading, mental preparation before hand (meditation), listening to certain songs and various physical activities.

If I do these activities I usually have crystal clear visualization and sometimes, if I stick with it, I can reach a near lucid-dream clarity in visualization.

But my visualization without these things is pretty average.

I can picture things very clearly in my mind's eye, with vibrant colour and vivid detail. I still have some problems with keeping sizes consistent (especially the height of my tulpa), but I'm happy with how much my visualization skill has improved over the course of creation.

I also get some strange elastic strings that attach themselves to objects and stay put despite my efforts; trying to cut them or get rid of them has no result. I've always had that problem when trying to imagine things.
