Can you make a tulpa by lucid dreaming alone?

I'm not completely sure, but I don't think so. Tulpamancy focuses entirely on the conscious communication between you and your tulpa, in a waking state. Both dream characters and roleplay personas are different in that sense, and neither one necessarily creates that "link" you create in tulpamancy where your tulpa is conscious and separate from you.

 

Recent post I made about tulpa development in lucid dreaming:

I've been wanting to research and write a guide on lucid dream tulpamancy for years, but.. I haven't been successful in lucid dreaming.

Still, I'd say it's a powerful supplementary development method, although you'll still need to practice traditional waking tulpamancy techniques to establish the actual independent, autonomous person existing in your mind at the same time as you part - dreaming will only help with... just about everything else, from personality development to perhaps even creating them in the first place. I don't know the limits or true practicality, unfortunately.

 

Though I will say that a tulpa is far more prone to "invasive thoughts" while dreaming of them, if you can call them that. Basically, you'll need a very stable dream environment and mastery over dream control/lucid dreaming to keep it your tulpa that you're interacting with. Dreams have a way of drifting people into being other people, and also, tulpas-by-appearance in dreams often aren't really themselves, at least until you've consciously made the dream character become your tulpa.

 

I like to think of this as your tulpa also being asleep/non-lucid in a dream, and you're waking them up/making them lucid to make them become themselves.

I think that's what the lucid dreaming community would call a dream guide—a recurring character in your dreams. It's a term that's sometimes assigned to a helpful recurring character who just exists naturally, but in some cases dream guides are created, either in dreams or even while awake. In a general sense, a dream guide could be considered a kind of tulpa, if you believe it to be an independent entity.
