Method for imposing and open eye visuals.

[InuYamsXSesshopmart]

The method I'm about describe only requires some piece and quiet, a bed, and darkness. Okay if you have those "items" then you should start by waiting for nightfall. After it is night time and everything is calm and quiet I want you to get under you blanket and put it over your head so you can not see, yes all the way under the blanket. Now it should be pitch black...if you did as I told you and tried this during the night. Now I want you to sit there patiently with your eyes OPEN simply waiting . You can listen to music if it helps you focus, but make sure that there is no perceivable light present. After a couple of seconds or minutes you should start to see blobs of color floating in your vision.

 

Calm down it's natural. These blobs of color are known as hypnagogic hallucinations. If you ever have focused while falling asleep you should see them floating on the backs of your eyelids or if you simply close your eyes and LIGHTY pressure your eyelids you should start to see them. After awhile you should be able to control and change the form of these colored blobs. With that ability you can start to impose your tulpa by changing The shape and color of the blobs and practice open eye visuals all in one. I want you to practice this every night until you can control the blobs effortlessly and change the color.

 

Edit: you can also use an eye mask for this, good luck :)

[Tri] We have not tried darkness imposition, but it makes sense that it would work. Now, the blotches thing, maybe not everyone will get them with open eyes. If one does get them with open eyes, we can see how it might be easier to use them to get to imposition since with eyes open, the brain will expect to see something possibly. Lesser degree with eyes closed maybe.

 

The blanket thing has a few issues with safety, we do have to say. Face mask or just putting the blanket over the top half of the face. The advice of doing it at night does help reduce background light which makes it so incomplete coverage still does something.

 

We are a bit concerned about the terminology like Sands is. Hypnagogic hallucinations seem to be hallucinations occurring when one is on the verge of sleep. This guide/tip seems to indicate that one is more wakeful than that, and if anything, getting too close to sleep would end a session. It seems like this could work just as well in a dark room with an eye mask while sitting up or standing, which are no where near the edge of sleep.

And the ones that did see them with their eyes open had people question it, looking like it might not be as common as the original poster thought. If that is the case, their original method as written is not as useful. Could someone else test this too, looking at complete darkness with their eyes open and fully awake to see if they can start seeing colorful splotches? Warning, it took me a rather long time to get anything, so you should be prepared to spend some time on this.

I get that almost immediately in incomplete darkness with my eyes open. Actually I get it pretty easily staring at lots of things, like carpets. I agree about 'hypnagogia' though - that's not the right term. Maybe there's a term in the literature for it, maybe there isn't. Also

I trust that people who can operate a computer are unlikely to injure themselves in the act of being underneath a blanket, I guess, but maybe not.

 

But yeah, this reminds me of that vision control tutorial. I guess it seems clear enough to me, but others seem to be having more issues with it.

[Tri] The issue is that the problems can sneak up on someone, and there is a high vulnerability of falling asleep which could mean what would ordinarily be a little while where one can take it off when needed turns into several hours on accident. While a person is awake, it certainly can be done safely. Just, so high a chance of falling asleep.

That guy says breathing under your covers won't suffocate you. I believe him but it still feels kinda uncomfortable to me, I try not to do it for more than a minute at most. Buut, I believe him, probly no biggy.
