Losing thoughts or memories of them like that seems to happen when meditating or hypnotized. So what you describe is normal. Happens to me too. I also sometimes lose a thought as I'm thinking it when talking to them when not forcing, though I think some of this is them "grabbing" the thought.

 

I think random thoughts count as attention, but they work better the more defined they are, and if the tulpa is listening.

I think that if you want to do passive forcing you may want to ask her to follow you throughout a day.

When, obviously, you can just direct thought to her and talk. Other side of a coin - she may get bored if you will not pay her enough attention.

Do random thoughts directed towards your brain-buddy count as giving them attention, or do you have to make sure they're paying attention when you start thinking about them?

 

Yes. Keywords:

 

directed towards your brain-buddy

 

As long as you understand that the message is going to them, they will get it.

I believe it's personally giving them attention, especially if I go through getting Eva to become more vocal, I imagine her using her voice at any given image presented to me. Most of the time, the images, scenes, and random dream-like video clips relate to sexual things (since that's the easiest, for me at least)...and then it becomes less perverted and more random (anime, art, lucid dreaming, people I met, my emotions, etc).

 

And I've had several session myself where I would forget what the heck happened as well. I wake up 5 minutes later, and I felt like I took a brick to my head or something. I guess if you want to have less chances of forgetting the sessions towards focusing on your tulpae, maybe have a notepad handy that's a few feet away from you, or a computer/laptop/iPhone/etc. so you could jot some notes down.

 

When you jot things down, no matter how random they may be, you'll get better at retaining what you experienced during your sessions. Keep a small log or some way to record the experiences of yourself, and things will get better for you and your tulpae.
