We went to the Mushroom Kingdom, the world of Super Mario. We fought some Goombas and Koopas, put out a small city fire, and used a mega mushroom to fight a tall mecha Bowser.

I had stopped doing it because I thought it was unhealthy at the time
That sounds really cool, but kind of dangerous due to the environment around you at the time. I wish we could do something like that. Also, I couldn't help but think of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dv_DXqdC9k
Definition from Medical Daily: Quote: Now what happens when day dreaming goes too far? You find yourself missing days and hours of time daydreaming. This is known as maladaptive daydreaming (MD) — an
@Mathis Fyr yep I know another who's a "maladaptive" daydreamer and they have a tulpa which they hang about with when they daydream, it's amazing forcing really
some have an easier time visualizing something/someone in motion for that reason, while others find it easier to visualize while stationary because it's fewer details
Something I've had to deal with; the idea that for a time you will basically be a blind person in the tulpa's domain. It can help to alleviate the stress of "gotta see stuff now", and just spend time with them as their neighborhood blind guy. :P You can also develop a somewhat more intuition based approach to sight, wherein you still know where things are even if details can't be resoled. Sort of like navigating familiar places with your eyes closed, but a bit more "psychic", because the place is in your head.

Not sure if that's related to what they asked, or if I just read into it too far.
I've asked everywhere, so might as well here. How can my host switch out? What should she do, what should we do?
And no, she's not scared or hesitant, so don't even suggest that
12:44 PM
Us tulpas front all the time, just can't get her to switch out yet
she'd have to learn some sort of dissociation. Could do anapana to just focus her consciousness to a point, or go deep into visualization to retreat in the wonderland, or you can try switching near sleep if she'd accept being just, knocked out(edited)
I guess for me, change out who is calling the shots seems nebulous; I kinda get what you mean, but it doesn't seem like it's exactly a discrete thing from possession the way I would understand it
@ia something i've been thinking about putting in there but am unsure if it would be a good idea is the "side effects" that people have noticed with switching (depersonalization, some level of mania). I don't have any solid numbers on it though.
Incidentally, I disagree with your definition, Reguile. It seems excessive, when many tulpas aren't perpetually daydreaming in the "wonderland", and we don't consider the hosts to simply be "possessing" the body during that time.

The difference is who is fronting, moreso than who is daydreaming in the "wonderland".
I suppose. It uses unequal qualification. Changing who is "fronting" does actually involve somewhat more than possession, but certainly less than having the host daydream during the tulpa fronting.
5:32 PM
My contention is the unequal qualification itself.
I've been trying to proxy chess recently (we can't really do posession that well yet), for us it's like, she's sitting right behind me in a chair, telling me what to say.
Regarding difficulty, however, I would point out that changing who is fronting does result in quite a bit of difficulty for people that haven't done it more than once or twice.
Host dissociation from the body, essentially causing the tulpa to have primary control over whether the host can use the body (as opposed to the reverse, which is the typical state of things).(edited)
