How vivid/immersive can visualizations actually get?

[ponyp2045]

I have recently started practicing visualization, and I have a hard time understanding when some people say that their visualizations can get 'more real than reality'. According to this guide, I am between 'I can see a fuzzy form' and 'I can see fuzzy blocks of color'.

 

I know that I will get better with practice, but I am wondering about the end result. It would be very desirable to enter an immersive lucid dream-like state, adventuring in wonderland with my tulpa, but this seems too good to be true.

 

I would appreciate if someone here would clarify just how good it gets, in terms of the average person who does a fair amount of practice.

I'm pretty good at visualization and if you work at it, you can get it to the point where you're able to perceive details about the things around you that you wouldn't be able to do with your real eyes. It's only happened to me once and it took a lot of effort, but I looked at a gathering of trees a couple of yards away from me in my wonderland and I could see the fine details of the bark. It was weird. It didn't look like an overly detailed drawing or anything, it looked like someone had turned up the resolution on my vision, if that makes any sense. It was the coolest thing ever :D After you're really good at visualizing your tulpa, and I mean REALLY good, you can move onto imposition which is something that I've not started and probably won't for at least a year or so. It sounds pretty cool, being able to see your tulpa with your own eyes through self-induced hallucination. That sounds AWESOME! :D
