Tulpanomicon perhaps, reading guides found on .info and elsewhere.

I genuinely want to try this as some sort of test, but I do not want it to become permanent. Is that possible? I read earlier that your tulpa will disappear if you halt all interaction with them
Tewi: The more developed the tulpa (the more cemented everything about them is in your brain), the more resistant the very neural connections that make them up are to being forgotten. Same as with anything.
People in the tulpa community really, really do not like the idea of someone creating a tulpa with any intention of later getting rid of them. There's technically nothing stopping you, but we won't encourage it unless you're really looking for a mental companion who may potentially be with you your whole life.(edited)
we sometimes have dreams from different perspectives.

I think it's doable. Problem is that a lot of lucid dreamers aren't in full control of their lucid dreaming and can't usually make big many decisions. Kind of like instincts but it definitely is worth a try

Eh, I'm not really looking for a mental companion honestly. I'm more than comfortable being alone with my own thoughts
Tewi: It's personal and subjective and etc.etc.etc. so won't work for everyone, but there are hosts who say their tulpas frequently help them out in or exert control over dreams. But this is far from everyone, and far more people are left wishing their tulpas would ever appear in their dreams in the first place.(edited)
Tewi: Systems who have already purposely created at least one tulpa who's well-developed and established in the mind often have a much easier time creating any further tulpas.(edited)

The process of developing them is still the same, but it tends to go much faster than the first time, when your brain was learning tulpamancy too.
Well, in terms of talking with my host and him recognizing I'm here a week maybe, but I've actually been trying to get his attention for several weeks.
Every new tulpa in a system will necessarily divide the amount of attention the host can give them (or in some systems like ours, the amount of time spent switched or possessing), so we say to strongly consider whether you (and any existing tulpas) really want to add another to the system.

Plenty of hosts+tulpas are happy with permanent one-on-one relationships.

It feels like the people that talk to me in my head are the better and far greater me. Things I could be but can't be because of some missed opportunities.
Best to consider it an inherently different category of experience from actual human-to-human romantic relationships that don't overlap, but.. It's not like we can stop people.(edited)
But genuinely why or how did tulpas start for all of you? For me they just already existed. Or at least I think they are tulpas I'm not sure. Since I was a child I've been hearing them.

But if they can be created. Why were they created?
My system technically isn't a tulpamancy one, but it honestly doesn't matter. We associate our system more with trauma than with intentional creation methods.

For us, it started when Bennett was created to help Mason cope with something very stressful she struggled to deal with, based on a character she found comforting. He later changed his name, appearance, etc to distance himself from his source identity.

Then I split off second, during an argument Mason and Ben were having, and I befriended ben.

Tewi: Quick note if you're truly new to the concept of plurality as a whole, "tulpa" systems are far from the only kind of plurality around. There's traumagenic systems who really did get their start as a coping mechanism for trauma, there are non-tulpa systems that are essentially the same as tulpas but who just happened into creating these headmates on their own.. Our system is actually that, though when we later found Tulpa.info, our experiences and thoughts agreed with basically literally everything people had concluded in tons of discussion threads, so we said "Alright, we're tulpas then".(edited)
Tewi: Greater plurality, using terms like "traumagenic" and "endogenic", is bigger and older than the tulpa community. Some of them don't believe in intentional headmate creation and believe it has to come from trauma. Others don't believe that, and there are actually a lot of people with non-tulpa/intentional origins like that in this very server.(edited)

It's really just a bunch of labels, and you're pretty much free to use what sounds most fitting to you.

Schizophrenics like I might not have any trauma necessary for them right?
@Daen [LeviticusKillgore] - jump
Schizophrenia isn't actually a disorder associated with plurality. It's associated with hallucinations, not a split of identity. DID and OSDD are considered plural disorders, though.

Tewi: "Tulpamancy" - just, creating people in your head - is something the human brain is simply capable of. What spurs it in a given person isn't very important.(edited)

She's just someone who exists, I guess. I've known her for a long time, and I've seen her at her best, and at her worst. I honestly just want her to find happiness one day.
Kissa
That's what they mean. They were talking from the wrong account or Tupper!
Tewi: DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) does often differ from the tulpamancy experience in that it's, well, disorderly though. So may include unintentional switching, "blackouts" (not remembering times from when another systemmate was switched in), triggers for switching, dissociating in general of course.(edited)

What are your thoughts on her?

It sound selfish, but I'll be honest and say that I don't care about her as much as I do Bennett. It's just the nature of sharing a brain with so many people, you'll like some more than you like others, you'll make better friends with some than you will with others.
Tewi: I would say the core of being plural isn't different in the brain between given experiences, but the experience can be totally different for different people based on their beliefs, and can be very different if it was a coping mechanism for trauma.(edited)
