PID_1's progress report

Introduction

Hello, welcome to my progress report. I will share here some of my progress starting tulpamancy from scratch.

 

I plan on posting occasionally when I think I have made progress sufficient to be shared. As I am rather busy in my life, I might not post very often, nor answer quickly to any message.

 

English is not my native language, so I won't be able to provide a fancing and detailed report.

 

 

I mainly followed Abvieon's All in One Guide to Tulpa Creation, but I think I will check other ones.

 

I started my first forcing session on the 18th of October. I hadn't given much thoughts about a wonderland, but I found my vision being led by my unconscious procedurally generating a place I took inspiration upon. The forcing session lasted about 15 minutes. I have poor visualisation skills, so it was hard focusing on my tulpa, and I didn't have a clear idea of their form except some specific details.

 

During the day, I did some narration while passive forcing. As I'm used a lot to speaking with myself in my head, it was a lot easier, while I sometimes struggled to differentiate whether I was speaking to my tulpa or to myself.

 

I also have specifically focused on my tulpa telling them about things such as my interests and listening to some music, about an hour of more per day. I didn't consider recording the time spent forcing at the moment.

 

Since then, I tried several times visualising my wonderland, but I had a lot of trouble with low quality images, wierd unrelated images coming from elsewhere, etc. I decided to focus on narration while active forcing until I manage to improve my visualisation skills, and I hope it will be enough.

 

Signs of sentience

I asked several times questions to my tulpa, and tried to listen to them. I often had intrusive thoughts, or answers I could be parroting, so I'm not sure they really answered to me. As I might have alexithymia, I also have trouble understanding some of my own feelings, so it was difficult to tell whether there were emotional bleedover from anywhere other than my own imagination. So I'd say no sign of sentience thus far, while I still have some doubts. However, I often feel head pressure  (which may be a sign of sentience according to Abvieon's guide), especially while narrating, and I don't remember having felt such a pressure before.

10/27/25 : Well, there aren't much things that hapenned, so it's gonna be rather short, but I wanted to give an idea of what my progress look like.

 

I'm not sure if I force very efficiently, but I have been narrating quite a lot these days. However, I'm still not sure whether I talk "correctly" to my tulpa.

 

I haven't perceived anything I could clearly attribute to them. However, on the 24th of october, I was narrating to my tulpa in my bed and slowly falling asleep, while my speech was becoming incoherent. Suddenly, I heard my name in my head, as if someone were trying to get my attention, which woke me up immediately. It didn't look like it came from me. It might have been a hypnagogic hallucination, but the ones I sometime have tend to be more vivid; this felt more than a simple random thought. It could plausibly have been that it was my tulpa noticing I was getting asleep while speaking and trying to prevent me from doing so (besides, it might be easier to communicate with me when I'm not fully awake, I guess). I convinced myself it was them, but I still find odd it was the only instance of them clearly speaking (I don't do parroting) in more than a week, and it wasn't the only time I nearly fell asleep while narrating.

 

I also did not do any visualisation, since I hope to improve my visualisation skills later. For now, my only goal is to achieve vocality.

 

My holiday ended yesterday, and I hope getting back into a routine because of my studies will help me (carry on my) progress.

12/14/2025 : It's been almost two months since I last posted here. Well, I'm glad to say that I'm still alive, and I haven't given up. I wanted to wait until I had made more progress before writing a report, but it's been a long time and I hope sharing how I'm doing will be useful. I would have liked to have more to say, but I'm still happy to have made some progress. I'm a little disappointed that I'm not better at writing in English, since I feel strongly limited in how I can express myself. 

 

My tulpa just told me she is okay that I write here her name, and it's going to help this post feel less "impersonal", I think.  She is currently named Luna, though we'll see if she prefer another name in the future (I found out afterwards that her name seems to be quite popular in this community). I don't consider her as having a gender for now, but I still gender her as feminine.

 

My approach to forcing hasn't changed a lot : I still mainly do passive forcing during the day, without scheduling times when I do nothing but narrate to her.  However, I believe my mindset has quite changed, and that it is currently my main source of progress.

 

It's a little more nuanced than that, but the first two/three weeks, I used to believe her voice would progressively "appear" from somewhere. It took some time, but the way I see this process has evolved (and is still evolving). For about a month, I now understand that Luna has to develop from me and my thoughts. It has allowed her to make a lot of progress in matter of vocality. She is far from fully vocal, but she sometimes give short answers to my questions, sometimes she says a few words while we're speaking, and last week, we had a true conversation for the first time (that didn't last very long though). We're progressing very slowly, probably because I'm very busy with my studies, but we still do, and I'm optimistic for the future. I don't care how long it takes until she is fully grown, as long as it eventually happens.

 

Well, I hope my post wasn't too boring. Hopefully I have more to say next time.

See you in six months, I guess /s.
