@Blitzeen there's plenty of hosts who claim that tulpas are people/equal to them/etc., but would never consider giving their tulpas any major control over their life, or anything like that
Honestly, I'd actually love to give my Tulpa a small part of controlling my life but that would mean having to explain to a lot of people and also being able to switch successfully for more than a few minutes
or- switch at all really
But like
The second point still stands
I've read so much and heard so much and still don't understand how switching works much less if you even can fully, 100% switch places with your Tulpa-
Possession is kind of... I dunno... because it's really easy for me to break out of it and take full control again
And I'm not sure what to do about that(edited)
If your tulpa practices fronting then they should get better at being the dominant thinker for longer. The obstacles against that become easier to manage, and it becomes less likely that they can't stay in control while something distracting occurs. Though, it takes plenty of time and effort to get to that point, don't expect it to be a quick process
We actually have the opposite problem as well. Sometimes I will accidentally take control away from Ashley(The host). Will that get better with practice as well because Ashley's mind is already used to fronting for decades?
https://community.tulpa.info/thread-i-simply-need-insight There's an interesting thread up right now that I'm heavily interested in responding to, but it seems a bit off. I think he's come to the semi-right place as what he had was technically a wonderland, but he's not really seeking tulpa advice. He's seeking advice on how to restore his wonderland and be able to get back into it, but it seems more of a lucid-dream sort of thing. Not too sure how to approach this.(edited)
This is what I've written on a thread on 4chan, asking for questions. A user mentioned "tulpaforcers" and a "wonderland." That eventually led me here. I'd simply just like some insight as to if this i
Gotcha, it seems more appropriate in there. Hopefully he gets his answers, since I'm not too sure how to approach this situation.

If no one gets back to him within a few days with a decent response, I'll take it upon myself to tell them that this isn't really the place for dream assistance and that he can probably get into tulpas if he wants to recreate it without the use of dreams.
It was very vivid, so it could be a potential wonderland if they really worked toward it. On top of it, they could have created a tulpa to help get into that place.
I have been thinking, recently, about the nature of tulpamancy, and I've been wondering if to some degree, that there are more people entering tulpamancy and "discovering" a tendency to think as multiple people rooted in their heads, more than there are people entering tulpamancy without such a tendency and building it up through forcing.
When I had an imaginary friend, it was a constructed and controlled "imaginary character" who, because there was some idea of "having" an imaginary friend, I called it an imaginary friend. For me, it was not much like a tulpa.(edited)

It isn't something I am quite sure about, but it is an idea that's gotten stuck in my head and is building up more weight as time passes.
think I'm getting some vocality one thing that stood out was what sounded like "soy dah-mer"(with re sound from fire) could just be tulpish but feels like it's from something any idea what?
really I've always heard tulpish is pretty common I might not be up to date on things, and I have trouble getting responses there was what kind of a conversation through silent static but that's pretty much it
from what I've read it can sound like gibberish at first but what I'm getting could just be a bad "connection" I have to drive somewhere som I'm going to try and follow through best I can but not sure how much more I'll get

I do wonder if the guides have changed much over four years though
I'm gonna paste this here too.

uh... I did something bad. I said something I probably shouldn't have to Cia, and now she's mad at me and isn't responding.
The issue for me is I just can't spend a day without questioning whether this is all a good idea and whether or not she exists. It might be stupid, but I can't help it. The occasional sentience test I jump she can't really answer either that well either, which is just adding to it.
This isn't a one off issue - the day she became vocal was also the day she opened up for the first time and called me out for doubting her existence. I'm tired, she's tired, and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get over this stupid mountain of doubt and insecurity.
I used to slap my host, that kinda worked... probably not the best idea by any means
What we do anymore whenever he's doubting me or I'm doubting me is just looking back and remembering everything we've done together, and especially what we were feeling then-- just seeing how different and unique I am from him, and really feeling that, is more than enough evidence for him to oppose any doubts
