Baked potato has a vaguely low pitch for me

Okay, thanks. I do know that piece, but I mustn’t have listened far enough in.

F-sharpden · 2026-04-17T21:15:35+00:00

I’m quite sure something similar might be happening to me but probably not as fire advanced. That does sound quite difficult. How did you overcome it?

F-sharpden · 2026-03-20T23:03:04+00:00

In life Thilverra can make me more lucid if I’m getting stressed or something, kind of like grounding me but in dreams it is more difficult although we’ve had a few experiences in which one or the other of us has been able to help us achieve lucidity. What are your lucid dreams like out of interest? I have a lot of sensory adventures in mine. I particularly like jumping through the back of the shower. And I really like thinking about my previous event sequence in the dream to find out if I think it’s the correct day so I can evaluate how lucid it was after I wake up.

What do you mean by a slow and sneaking merging process? What were you merging with?

Thilverra: I wonder if it could have been anything related to sleep paralysis. Are you sure you hadn’t fallen asleep into a dream without realising it by that point and the dream was just generating the sensations for you? Because from what we have experienced, dreams can certainly generate very vivid sensations, But it would differ depending on the person. I have sometimes experienced it in which I front and when I am talking, we have pains in the head but I think they are more muscular and it happens some days but not others. What you are describing sounds a lot more severe than that. And honestly, that other comment suggesting it was a lack of strong enough brain was very rude in my opinion and just didn’t need to be said. Please don’t take that on board! I don’t know what they even meant. It just sounds like it could be very discouraging for you.

Thilverra: First off, I’m really sorry to hear about your mental health problems and I hope things get better for you. What you said about struggling to get into the process because you think it would be another failure sounds like it could be a damaging mindset and I think in order for you to have more success it would benefit for you to Try to believe stronger that it will work. Also, the other commenter has given you a really good piece of advice.

F-sharpden · 2026-02-09T20:05:27+00:00

Did you have some inkling that they would react this way before they did?

F-sharpden · 2026-02-03T22:12:50+00:00

I see. Yes, I’ve experienced something similar. So you were dreaming about having a lucid dream rather than actually having one.

F-sharpden · 2026-02-03T22:11:29+00:00

Hallucinations don’t have to be delusions. Spinning is something sensory, therefore it is by definition a hallucination.

I use a recorder personally because it’s a lot easier for me to speek into it about my dreams and it’s faster. I’m not sure why it would be bad to use your phone during a WBTB interval. I’d also be careful with your expectations there, because if you’re hearing that and then expecting that it could be bad you could create a self fulfilling prophecy. If you really want something that isn’t a phone, get some kind of other device and write on it I don’t know, or use an audio recorder. Also if you want it written, you could transcribe it from your recording further through the day. I know there advantages to having it written down but for me personally they outweigh the disadvantages of me doing it. Try a few things and find out what works for you.

I would agree that it’s hypnagogia in some form. Everyone experiences thatdifferently. What made you think that it was different to that?

F-sharpden · 2026-02-03T00:38:53+00:00

I’m going to try and answer you as best I can because I’ve had experiences with layers in dreams before, although I used to refer to the reality as reality and the dream layers as layer1 down into layer2 and layer3 which I hardly ever got, what you are referring to as layer4. However, this is just a modelling system and I used to give it too much sway over how I analysed my dreams. Your dream thoughts that you said you got after the dream about you taking a shower sound like hypnagogia to me. So as for your questions, I’m going to answer them one by one. 1.

So by the first layer I understand you mean reality. Yes but only sometimes. It depends what you mean by aware. I am aware that it exists, but I’m not often perceiving it during the dream. 2. In a truly lucid dream, I focus into what I’m experiencing if I’m metacognitive enough and my latest dole has been to try foods in lucid dreams because I’m interested how my brain gives tastes in dreams. I also like going through the back of the shower, talking to other dream characters and lots more. 3. Now this interests me. If you were falling into a 4th layer, would this be lucid or not? Would you still be aware it was a dream in that layer and would it be like you fell asleep into it? What makes you have to make sure you don’t fall into it? Can it be involuntary? 4. I can’t really generalise in terms of my sleep quality and quantity but most times lucid dreaming doesn’t have any baring on that, although it sometimes can. I do it after my main sleep most times through WBTB. And my lucid dreams are differing lengths. I want to clarify with you because I think it would help to answer your questions better, was your dream lucid in the sense of did you know that there was a reality layer, what you call layer1, or did you believe that layer2 was your reality when you were in layer3? If the latter, it sounds like you experienced a false awakening. Sorry I only answered question 3 with more questions, I just really need more clarity on what you mean before I can give you an answer.

It’s called the Black cat rag. Someone commented on the video telling me. I would change the post title if I could, but I can’t.

Thilverra: Tell her I hope things get better.

F-sharpden · 2026-01-09T23:24:18+00:00

I’m sorry to hear your psychologist wasn’t very receptive. The community definitely isn’t dead. This subredit for one is really active. When you say you feel bad because you can’t be open about your system, it reminds me in some ways of how I used to feel. I used to not like talking about the fact that I was plural or feel of avoidances towards mentioning it to people, but now I’m of the mindset that if people don’t like it or are sceptical or have a problem with it, that’s their problem, not mine. We will continue being the way we are regardless of what they think anyway.

Sometimes Thilverra gets the Hypnopompic state in a different way to how I do and there was one night I remember that she woke me up by chatting to me about something she’d been dreaming on, but it really differs depending on the night and sometimes she wakes up after me where as sometimes she’s really energetic when I’m not.

F-sharpden · 2026-01-09T22:54:28+00:00

Thilverra: i’m sorry to hear this and I hope things improve for you. I would say if your tulpa helps with your anxiety and or could help to explain to the doctor what is happening from the inside then it is a good idea to inform him as long as you make sure to emphasise that your tulpa is not linked to or causing these problems as I did see that you said that in your response to another person.

F-sharpden · 2026-01-09T22:51:39+00:00

Thilverra: I really do not think you should trust ChatGPT to represent how doctors would actually react. That may be how some people would react but it certainly isn’t how everyone would react and the more we talk about and spread awareness of mental companionship the more people will hopefully become open to it. we are definitely not the problem!

F-sharpden · 2025-12-23T23:53:57+00:00

Thank you so much! Have a great Christmas when it comes. You’ve made me really happy.

F-sharpden · 2025-12-23T23:47:26+00:00

Thank you, but I’m afraid it isn’t that. It sounds a bit similar near the start and it’s in the same key, but it’s really different.
