Guest applesauce99 June 8, 2012 June 8, 2012 I'm glad I finally got an account here so I can barrage the forum with questions. Thats what its for right? right? Anyway, what exactly is a wonderland? Is it just a thought of a place, an actual hallucination/creation of an entire world (matrix? inception?), or something you can go to and from while your body just sits there unaware of its surroundings during your trip (also matrix, inception)? Its all very confusing to meh. I tried creating, for my wonderland, a virtual sanctuary so to speak. It was a beach with a two story house with glass windows and an open floorplan, but I couldn't keep it visualized constantly as I tried to create it for probably 20-30 minutes. It would change into different houses and sometimes into a shack, the beach would change geography, the sky would turn black like a videogame without a valid skybox, and the ocean waves would crash unrealistically like bad anime. It was virtual reality hell xD I definetely can't see the possibility of creating a wonderland and then returning to it with it looking the same. Derp. Anyone want to elaborate on this wonderland? And yes, I've read the guides.
bila bila June 8, 2012 June 8, 2012 First rule of a wonderland, make it simple. Maybe you worked too hard on it. Mine is basically a cliffside which goes down to a beach. Although wonderlands can be great for concentration, it's not always the best way. If you really want to create a wonderland. I would suggest a garden maybe. Also you might want to try meditation if you are working in a wonderland.
Guest Anonymous June 8, 2012 June 8, 2012 I based it on a real life place I go to twice a day. Irs not like an alterrnate world inside my head,placinstead a place that you have to focus on to stay in. You don't need them, as TOG has proven, but the are worlds for your tulpa to grow up in.

I would find it awesome to have a place to completely relax in, as well as a home for my future tulpa though - I'm just having trouble keeping it the same visualization. For now, it's just in a black infinite void as a small, softball sized sparkling white ball of energy that I'm in the process of giving personality. As some other people did, I might create an actual 'world' of a wonderland after I create my tulpa so it can go there if it wants.
glitchthe3rd June 8, 2012 June 8, 2012 Basically the idea behind it is, it's like going to your happy place. (maybe it even IS your happy place). Definitely start out small as Costanza said, with practice you could have a theoretically infinite wonderland. Though bear in mind, the bigger you make it, the less detail it's going to have.

Chupi June 8, 2012 June 8, 2012 hallucination Expect that and you'll be quite frustrated and disappointed. Your wonderland will always be seen in your mind's eye. You won't see any hallucination at all until you impose your tulpa at the end of the process. Making a wonderland stay the same is a challenge at first. You need to either see something that's already in your subconscious, or force something into it. The former is easier by far, and can usually be done by letting your wonderland change until it feels right. It should seem more vivid when this happens. Another way that works for me is to imagine a door in the void in front of me, then open it without first creating in my head what I expect to see behind it; just expect it to be some sort of place. Once you find something that feels right, walk around in it, experience it with all your senses, and examine details. After you have something that stays pretty much the same between visits, you can modify it some -- things like putting up structures or making fairly small changes.

Phi June 8, 2012 June 8, 2012 Irish called it a wonderland without realizing that it already exists under a different name, albeit it has a different purpose. By creating a 'wonderland', you are essentially using the method of loci. In other words, you are making a memory palace. A memory palace, in short, is a place in your mind that you create using your spatial intelligence in order to create a place that you can put information in, leave the place, and then come back later and find the information still there. A lot of people who have excellent memory claim to use this method in order to remember large strings of numbers, etc. No, it is not like you go into another dimension and you actually see everything as if it were really in front of you. At least not in a memory palace. It's more like a very vivid idea in your mind's eye. My memory palace use to be a library, until I set off a bomb in it to symbolize that I was making another one. Now it's a blank white area with a table that has some notes on it, along with a picture frame that I jump in/out of to enter/exit it.
