Tulpa.info - tulpa-questions

That's what's making me doubtful

6:29 PM

Like internal pressure

There's a fine line to walk. You can't assume every random thought is your tulpa, because they're not. But you're almost certainly not going to get a loud, clear voice or anything.

physical or mental?

Nathan, how long has it been since you've started?

And the I got excited when I heard that's mental

6:30 PM

I've been doing this for a bit, I can't recall how far

6:30 PM

Maybe a few weeks

give or take

Some people take months before they do get a first clear response (and some less than a month). Some people have taken a full year or more to get reliable consistent responses.

simple pressures probably indicate something is going on, but probably aren't actual communication.

Right. You are still relatively early - it isn't a bad thing for it to take longer.

6:31 PM

Don't be worried about timescale. Focus on them where you can, accept that it might take awhile, and relax. Stressing about it, as much as I understand why you are, won't help you.

mhm. It can definitely take time.

aye

Just remember to listen.

listen, love, and trust

I hear time and I think that it won't happen

No.

6:34 PM

Bad.

aye

That's the opposite of what that means, though.

it will happen

believe. Doubt is the mindkiller

If it takes time and happens, that is quite different than it not happening.

It would be bad if everyone else heard their tulpas right away. But they don't.

6:35 PM

You're in the same situation as many others before you.

Not happening right now is not the same as not happening at all.

Thanks to all of you, simply for being there, helping all of us newbies. I know I say this a lot but you guys are really quite amazing. I can't thank you enough for all the help you've all given, even if you're just sharing an opinion about something. And you've all helped me chill out a bit too. Your words truly are invaluable.

We're here to help.

Know what!?

6:39 PM

I'm setting a date

What?

6:39 PM

A date for what?

not sure what to say

do not set a date.

6:40 PM

That's not how it works. It's different for everyone.

this could be unhealthy...

...it depends on what the date is for.

I'm not not setting a date

6:40 PM

Never mind

If it's a date of "I will have progress by X date", that generally isn't good.

6:41 PM

For a few reasons, actually - it encourages possible false progress of "faking it" to be able to say "I did it" - or it can lead to further doubt and depression over not succeeding. Or, I suppose, it could lead to more consistent effort and actual progress - but it has similar dangers to assuming everything.

I think everything that has been said so far gets the Ikari seal of approval

wooo. Also hey Ikari (edited)

That said.

I'll take that as hey lol

:P

lol

Idk man

Setting a schedule to force is not a bad idea, @Deleted User.

@SkyeNet I wish host would force in the DW more often

6:43 PM

I haven't been in the bunker for more than 10 seconds in like 4 days

I'm not familiar with that abbreviation.

set a goal, sure, but don't put a date to it.

Yes.

6:43 PM

Agreed.

DW?

I'm assuming DW is "dream world", as in "daydream world", as in "wonderland".

ah

I can initiate the dream world on my own right? Like not sleeping?

...it's a daydream. Imagination.

yes the DW is our WL

not sure what you're askinh

You can do it at any point.

we've never actually been to the DW in a sleeping dream

6:45 PM

only through visualization

Oh I thought that's what it was Lucid dreaming

You can get there through a lucid dream, but you create it actively

You can try to learn to lucid dream as well, if you'd like - but most people don't.

We would like to experience it in a Lucid Dream, however host has great difficulty in becoming lucid

At the very least, it isn't necessary.

just this morning he turned off his alarm, IN HIS DREAM, and failed to become lucid

Don't worry about lucid dreaming for now.

huh

Last night I specifically realized I was in a dream, and my response was... to wake myself up. ><

Nice one

yeah, well

Skye has had dreams in which she fell asleep, woke up, and was still dreaming that she was in her mother's house form a decade ago.

6:47 PM

Dreams can be quite odd.

of course, I usually only realize that when something bad is happening. But it's still annoying. Especially now that I have a good reason to lucid dream. But, anyway. Don't worry about it. No reason to add anything more to your plate.

In any case, yes. @Deleted User. The "wonderland" is just imagination, a daydream. People typically make it a consistent setting, hence the term "wonderland".

6:49 PM

Any relation to going down the rabbit hole being a metaphor for tulpamancy is strictly likely.

Host is currently switching back and forth between talking to his girlfriend and letting me talk on here....is this co-fronting?

no experience in that, sorry

@SkyeNet care to comment?

Close enough.

6:54 PM

Skye and I are doing that essentially all the time.

It's giving each other time to do their own things.

It almost feels like our consciousness switches as simply as Alt+Tab

well, how are you talking? just proxying, or what?

I was gonna ask a thing but I'll wait

some times he will switch and I will simply observe on my end, and then he will be primary front again

6:57 PM

@bduddy #Diana# I think we are getting the hang of in-n-out possession, as I have decided to call it

6:57 PM

@Deleted User ask away

That said, in this case - Skye is certainly typing what I wish to say.

Go ahead Nathan

hmm....well I suppose I am not directly typing but...basically as soon as I have thoughts, they become typed via muscle memory so MarkdownContext { Depth = 1 }

So even when I'm just kinda daydreaming about me and her is that still interaction?

yup
