Tired Tulpa

[MyToasterHasInternet]

Cloud Roller will sleep for days at a time and then wake up to talk to me for about 30 minutes, then go back to sleep. Has this happened to any of you in the past, and why do you think Cloud Roller is so tired. (Note that when Cloud Roller is asleep, I can still visualize him in his bed, but I can't wake him up until he is ready to wake up)

That's a subconscious way of saying you can't focus on them anymore and they're just kind of being a burden on your mind (you don't want to or can't give up any brain power giving them a personality and whatnot). It happened to all the other tulpas I made besides Scarlet. I just retired them.

:(, Well, I have been very mentally strained since the past couple of weeks, I guess I will let him sleep for now, but I won't stop thinking about him though, I don't want to lose him all together.

I caught my tulpa napping the other day. I was surprised, come to find out she usually naps after our forcing sessions. Who knew?

well they nap when they have a lack of energy .... this happens after they do something big for you OR... when they are hurt..

If they aren't getting mental stimulation it's much easier to just sleep. If you've ever been injured and bedridden and were limited to what you could do, you might find the boredom is easier to sleep through.

 

Try giving them some real world experiences--when you talk to your tulpa, ask them questions they really have to think about, get them developing opinions of their own rather than simply agreeing with yours, maybe even have someone else talk to them online and have them learn a little something new and learn to communicate with someone who they can't easily simply share thoughts with.

 

The times when mine have gone through times like this have usually been after they spent a very long time in the headspace with no real interaction with the outside world and they were just far too mentally dependent on me to really keep going, or during a very sad time in Giselle's life.

 

Early on tulpas often also tend to get into these sort of phases from time to time. Maybe it has to do with our minds not allowing proper communication, maybe it has to do with them developing independence and needing a break.

 

 

Definitely if you want to give your tulpa a little more spark try--

1. Active forcing. Passive all day is great if you are good at passive forcing, but saying you passive force all day when you really don't isn't doing anyone any good(which is a common problem surprisingly) Try spending an hour really doing something fun together. It breathes life into the both of you.

2. Ask hard questions, debate things with them. Ask them open ended questions they can't answer with just a yes or no. Get them excited and passionate about something and have them explain it to you. Really talk.. It's so easy to just let the quick simple thought trading speak for us. That sort of quick dialogue is fine, if your tulpa isn't going through this type of lethargy.

3. External sensations. Bring your tulpa to the outside world with you. Share a meal together once a day, share the flavor of a new drink, try new foods together and see if one of you like it or if you both think it's nasty. Say hello every morning and goodnight every night. Even when we get tired we tend to get more active when with a close friend.

4. (Really should be one) ask what's going on. Maybe there is a reason for this, maybe there is some miscommunication happening. See if there is anything you can do to help that we might not be aware of.

 

There can be a lot of factors involved in a thing like this. At one point Luke was actively trying to be ignored by sleeping when he felt he was a burden. After a talk with Nate and I he no longer felt that pain and actively communicated his frustrations and fears. Since then he has been an active part of our lives. A nearly identical situation with Jaden only revealed he was bored and really too young to do anything about it himself and was fading slightly, enough to just be lethargic.

 

Your mind and your tulpa are unique, so do some thinking and some talking and figure out what you need to do.

 

There are obviously a lot of different possibilities. I've only lived through a few. Maybe your tulpa is just a tired one. Your concern about this makes me think otherwise, but, again, you have a different mind than I do. Do some self searching, you might find some interesting answers.

Not long after I made my first reply, I decided to wake him up. He appeared quite angry because of how I woke him up so suddenly. He quickly turned from angry to confused when he seen my facial expression. I told him that I didn't want to lose him and he quickly knew what I was talking about. He then told me in a warm, calm voice ”I wouldn't just leave you like that, we made a promise that we will always be together :)”. It almost brought a tear to my eye, even as I am typing this right now. We have been having the most fun we had in a while since then, even right now Cloud Roller is sitting by my side.

 

It is moments like this that make me so happy to have discovered tulpa creation :). I really thought I was gonna lose him for good (or at least a long period of time).

I've only seen this happen to tulpas who aren't receiving enough attention. I doubt he's sleeping.
