Experiments in Tulpa Memory (Is it real or another mental trick?)

[Guest Anonymous]

My host Davie has been trying an experiment. He and I have a terrible combined memory sometimes. We are good at remembering emotional things and things about our internal dreamworld, but real world outside things we forget bout. Davie's memory easily recalls "elements of beauty." He has a very visual memory for things that have a strong emotion connected to them. But detailed mundane every day responsibility things get lost in all the dreamy distractions. We are too disconnected from the outside world. Davie is the champion of making to do lists and keeping calendars. Without the to do lists we would get distracted and forget just about everything he is supposed to do.

 

Recently though, he and I decided to play around with the idea of "tulpa memory." At the beginning of the day, he asks me to remind him about something that needs to get done and leaves it off of the physical to do list. Then later when we are going over the to do list I say "don't forget such and such." Or rather, to be more accurate, he day dreams about me telling him what not to forget.

 

Okay now this may or may not be tulpa memory, but so far it is working pretty good. I haven't yet forgotten my to do list item I am supposed to remind him of, even if he has forgotten it. This may simply be memory by association of some kind. He summons me up, and part of his mind knows what I was supposed to remember?

 

We have a Memory House or Memory of loci too in my dreamscape mansion, but really don't use it as a memory house for real world things. It has always been a place for fantasy elements in the dreamscape. But we consider it a memory house cause it is durable and persistent in how we imagine it. We might take the next step and have me keep an internal to do list in my library and see if we can visualize the list and recall it to memory by me reading it back to him, or something along those lines.

 

We will start with one item, then two, then three and so on. We are already practicing with lucid dreaming so practicing with memory will be fun too.

 

Does anyone have any tips for enhancing tulpa memory?

 

What do you think about tulpa memory? Is there anything to it or is it just another trick of the mind, like memory by association somehow?

 

What I mean is, can a tulpa be just an extension of the memory house concept? I suppose if that were true, the tulpa would put memories in certain "places" in his or her wonderland.
