  1. Weer

    Any finns around?

    We have the local forum at www.tulpa.palstani.com which you all are probably aware of, but it's quite dead nowadays and consists mostly of underage and/or those who cannot read/write english that well to follow this one. I recognize few nicknames that appear also in here. I recently turned 30 and only a while ago heard about tulpae. I haven't had the time to create one yet as it's been quite hectic, wouldn't do justice to tulpa, but I've read and researched quite a bit about the subject and feel ready to start :) I've created a #tulpa.fi channel on irc.tulpa.im if anyone's interested to join? There's also a local chatzy room mentioned on the finnish forum, but it's quite inactive and frankly, I prefer IRC over that due to usability.
  2. Yeah, the "personality rarely changes after xx years" is a bit too bold claim. Of course, most of the turmoil and "finding yourself" happens while you are teen, but your personality keeps molding as life and time goes by for a lifetime and major life-changing events (trauma, becoming a parent, retiring from work and anything that causes introspection to ensue) can change it quite radically. I was more concerned on neuroplasticity. A child's brain is like playdough, allowing them to easily adapt to any task and learn new things like languages extremely fast. If an older adult has never gone through the same (only familiar with just one language) or similar process that might have built necessary neural framework in advance, they will face more difficulty. I guess analogy for adult brain would be it turning slowly from playdough to clay, it needs to be soft to be moldable. To do that you need to keep adding water, in form of activity that challenges the brain to adapt. Like Amber5885 said, engaging in fantasy, creative and whatnot will help to bridge the gap :) I am 29 myself and it's good to hear not all hope is lost :p Now that Sushi mentioned, I would also be very interested on any input about age and imposition. Seeing/feeling/etc something that really isn't there is quite a feat for the brain to try to accomplish. I would assume that especially in the case of imposition, young tulpamancers can do it much faster if not altogether more convincing results than adults who might have already passed a "critical period". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_period_hypothesis For example, so-called "feral child", Victor of Aveyron, spent most of his life without any human contact. He was found at the age of 11 or 12 and couldn't never learn to speak although it's hard to say what was the real reason for this as existing cases are far and few. I would like to see if there is any correlation with the host's age and "realness" of tulpa.
  3. Not necessarily. I've had WILD after being awake for about 80 hours (I was in the army at the moment, 3 week military exercise in the woods and our unit was short on men). I was already so tired that I had started to get hallucinations with open eyes and nodding off to sleep if I stayed stationary for any period of time, even while standing. Finally my relieve came and I got the chance for some R&R. I laid down, closed my eyes and in about 10 (!) seconds I felt like I was falling through the earth with extreme velocity. This feeling was so intense I honestly thought "this is it, I'm dying" (normally, WILD transition isn't nowhere near intensity of this). So, after I lost feeling to my body, I started seeing something: it was very blurry at first but then I realized it was my own hand that I was waving in my dream :) But yes, it didn't take long until I fell into deep sleep due to extreme fatigue. Until that event I was very experienced with lucid dreaming and had few DILD's a week. WILD for me was and still is much trickier as either the process of keeping my mind awake (while body goes asleep) delays sleep onset so much I either give up or I yank back to wakefullness just before REM because I get so excited during the transition. Minor sleep deprivation has always been beneficial for me in this. That usually happens when you begin with lucid dream inducing. Later on the chance of full realization (and frequency of these triggers) get nearly 100% :)
  4. I can't advice you on tulpa-induced lucid dream (TILD?) as I haven't got one yet, but I have quite a lot of experience from lucid dreams themselves. Even if I learned about them at young age (to escape nightmares), it never occured to me to actively "see" them until much later. I never bothered with complex reality cheks, I just thought about the POSSIBILITY of lucid dreams each day (and especially right before going to sleep), that you can suddently realize the fact that you are dreaming when things seem strange/impossible. Takes a lot less time and effort than tulpaforcing and you should see results in few weeks. Once you start getting few lucid dreams it starts a positive feedback loop and you end up seeing several in a week. My thinking is that it's easier to train yourself to see lucid dreams and THEN "summon" the tulpa than the other way around. I would also imagine this shared lucid dreaming does wonders to imposing as you can see, hear and feel your tulpa so concretely and long time :) On the subject of wonderland, before I learned about tulpa I attempted to create this static dream place as a "base". Never had much success with it as I didn't spend much time to build it while awake and in lucid dreams I was preoccupied doing something else. But as Sushi pointed out, if you try to impose wonderland to dreams it could serve as a trigger to realize "hey this is all just a dream". Your tulpa's possible presence doubles to serve that purpose :)
  5. From the recent Tulpa study: "The age range of interviewed Tulpamancers was 14 to 34 years, with most falling in the 19 to 23 range.". After we reach 20 years of age or so, we start to lose neuroplasticity, the brain's structure is more or less permanent. For example, our personality rarely changes after 25 years of age. But we are still able to learn new stuff, albeit more slow if the thing is entirely new, nothing stops you from picking up guitar when you are 50, but of course the learning is easier the earlier you start. So, what I want to ask from older tulpamancers (preferably without pre-existing framework like a imaginary friend), was the process of creating a tulpa hard for you compared to others and can the tulpa be potentially as developed (independent, sentient) as tulpae of people who start at early age?
