Aspid and Draco's Progress

[o0Aspidistra0o]

Overall, over the past few months, I've mostly passively forced with some active forcing and imposition practice here and there. Trying to improve that

Last night I was doing some closed-eye forcing and attempting to sculpt and memorize all of Draco's details, like his exact eye color, the shine and texture of his scales, how his mouth looks when he's speaking, etc. Anyway, I was tired, so I'm assuming it was either the intense focus or the sleepiness, but at one point I managed to get an almost life-like image of Draco, and he turned his head to look at me, and as I was tracing his facial scales, I actually FELT all of the texture and temperature of his head, neck, shoulders, and horns as if I were touching them in real life!! 

That was so cool to me and I feel like it was a pretty nice achievement :>

Today I've been working more on fleshing out our wonderland- So far I've gone from just a hill to picnic on under the shade of trees to a nature park with a trail to walk on surrounded by a dense forest with a river, lake, and cave to explore as well! We've got a little log cabin too, but I still have to practice visualizing it all and clean up the details

I'm excited to walk through more of the forest and go fishing at the lake with Draco ^v^

That sounds so lovely^-^ shaping a wonderland with a tulpa is an amazing and sometimes slightly surreal experience, and yours sounds like such a cozy and beautiful place.

 

Congrats on all your progress, keep it up!

Totally! 😆 That's farther than we have gotten with imposition. I wish you the best of luck continuing. 😊

Awesome! That's all we should have in our wonderland but don't for some reason. We do have a small forest though. 🌲🌲🌲 It sounds beautiful there.

 

That sounds like a great time. I hope you catch something good. 😊

Thank you!! I’m hoping we’ll be able to have a ton of fun when we can visualize it better!

 

also- it was closed eye visualization so idk if the feeling of texture is still imposition

I don't exactly know either, we haven't done much of closed eye visualization. It sounds like it to imposition but again we don't know much about that. Research time for me I suppose. 😁

Made myself a little more clear

Closed eye is one of the easier ones for me so I don't get as distracted by things

It totally is! Imposition can involve experiencing your tulpa with any of the body's physical senses, including touch or even scent.

In our experience, being in a near-sleep state can produce random moments of vivid imposition. I've felt Athelas sit on the foot of my bed, heard Lenore say my name, and seen colorful images of all my headmates via hypnagogic imagery. I definitely think a combination of sleepiness and focus could be the cause of your experience.

 

Congrats on the progress! We too enjoy closed-eye visualization and have a wonderland full of nature. Hope you continue to have lots of fun together!

Oh that is a good point- I'm going to try and force more consistently before bed, maybe I'll be able to get more of those moments :>

Thank you! And we'll definitely be trying ^v^

This might just be us, but we find it helpful to assign certain places / times for chatting with each other or exploring our wonderland! We noticed we would always end up talking during certain class periods or while performing certain tasks. The brain’s good at creating associations like these

 

Your wonderland sounds lovely by the way

Oh I think I do that! I typically force or practice imposition when I'm on walks, laying in bed, or in my classes, and then I tend to think more about him during those times, which then helps me remember to force.

Thank you for the compliment! I really feel at home when I imagine our cottage
