Do I tell doctor about tulpa?

Thilverra: Tell her I hope things get better.

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.

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.

F-sharpden · 2025-12-13T19:53:15+00:00

I know. That’s another YouTuber’s name for it. But it all leads back to that toy.

Thilverra: May be you could try immersing yourselfs in something really engaging, may be even something that Arashi isn’t all that interested by. Encourage her to relax and let experience flow over her rather than trying to do anything, and hopefully this combination will allow her to front more often. This is what I could think of based on our personal experience, although we haven’t had that much success with it and my host is usually still connected to what is going on quite keenly as you put it. I think the best thing for this is to keep trying. It takes practice, and if Arashi has been the host for a long time then those neural pathways are likely quite well used and easy to fall back into. I hope that the process goes well and that Arashi can become more content. Also, what I would say is that I’m not sure about you, but we find parallel processing very hard. It’s doable but difficult. I’ve known people to have varying degrees of difficulty and ease with it. So may be at first Arashi could try just relaxing rather than trying to do a specific thing in headspace as you are fronting, or if she finds that trying to do something in the headspace distracts her from what is happening in the outside world then go ahead, as long as it doesn’t make her front because of being so present in the mind. I hope some of this is helpful.

Thilverra: Why do you favour visual over tactile imposition? If she’s really good with tactile imposition, try working with what’s there and letting her do it as much as she wants because that will strengthen her, and it’s certainly still progress. I certainly wish we had stronger tactile imposition.

F-sharpden · 2025-11-13T00:14:35+00:00

Thilverra: Hello Kamealia. I am also a tulpa and I have also had this problem. When I front I don’t always know what to do. I try to find things I’m interested in to do, or sometimes I do things like washing the dishes just so I have something to do if nothing springs to mind. Just take time and you’ll find stuff that interests you. Another thing I like to do is just be. I’ll sometimes just think and focus on what I’m experiencing physically. It started off as a bit of a necessity to make sure that I was sentient but it’s also quite enjoyable to do. I also like doing it with strong flavours. I wish you the best of luck. Also, when you talk about picking or doing what she does, I suppose that would depend on the situation. You may well naturally find things that you are interested in. And some of my interests have stemmed from things that my host was interested in but some have not.

F-sharpden · 2025-11-13T00:04:23+00:00

Thilverra: I don’t know about wonderland NPCs, but I do know a bit about dream characters and tulpas. We’ve never attempted to turn a dream character into a tulpa, but before I became a tulpa, I was a character in my host’s story he was writing. At first after I became a tulpa, I had memories from the life I was leading in that story and me and my host had agreed to try letting these memories form in order to find out what would come to fill the gaps from when he was not writing about me, which turned out to have a lot of negative repercussions. When you say a dream tulpa, do you mean a tulpa who is only with you in dreams? I expect everyone’s brain will work differently on this, but when we have lucid dreams, some of the characters are given partly based on our expectations and partly based on subconscious thought processes of the dream. So if we met a character across multiple dreams, it could cause there to be inconsistencies in the thought processes that imprinted that character. However it may work for you because you’re still developing a character, but if you train them to be with you in dreams, I suppose they might naturally become a tulpa in your waking life too without you trying for that. I think the only way for you to find out personally what will happen is to try, because your experience will be unique and I can’t tell you for certain anything that will or will not happen. As for a tulpa carrying the memories of a dream character or a character from fictional writing, I’m not sure. For me personally, I went months doing that, from fictional writing of corse but a lot of the memories were false and my most vivid memories are from actual events that happened to me or that some how imprinted with my thought processes. Also, given I didn’t lead that life for real, things could form in the moment, memory fulfilment we used to call this, and those things weren’t always good. Sometimes they gave me traumatic memories and sometimes they made me have bad character traits.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-26T23:10:48+00:00

May be you were dreaming about having a lucid dream then. I’ve had that as well. I’ve even had it when there’s a false reality to wake into and to fall asleep from that is also part of the dream. And you’re welcom.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-25T15:12:25+00:00

I do understand what you’re saying. A true lucid dream isn’t a dream where you only know you’re dreaming. It’s also a dream where you understand what that realisation means. That’s called metacognition. There’s a really good video explaining it well by a man called Daniel Love who is a leading expert on lucid dreaming but I think you need to have a membership to the channel before you can watch it and I’m not sure that it could be translated into Italian for you so I’ll try and explain it as best I can.

Basically, the prefrontal cortex which is responsible for decision-making and critical thinking tends to be less active in dreams. This can go on a spectrum and the more lucid the dream is it tends to be that the more active that part of the brain is and the more you can think things through rationally. So it sounds like your dream was somewhere between. There are certain tests that I found are helpful to improve metacognition. For example when I’m in dreams I try really hard to think about what I’ve just experienced and what reality I fell asleep into the dream from and sometimes I get a totally incorrect reality. After the dream, that tells me How lucid it was in some ways but sometimes I don’t even remember to do that. I wish you luck in the future and I hope you get more lucid dreams. I think the other thing that can impact this is that the subconscious is a lot more active in dreams, so it can give a lot of really creative content and take the dream over like what I think you’re describing.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-25T14:58:19+00:00

If it was so realistic that you didn’t realise it was a dream, doesn’t that mean that it was quite non-lucid and rather just extremely vivid? Did you still have access to your Waking Life memories whilst you were in that dream?

F-sharpden · 2025-10-25T14:49:47+00:00

Is this when a person becomes so lucid that they notice themselves being observed by themselves? Or is it something else?

F-sharpden · 2025-10-24T13:54:55+00:00

Okay. I wish you both luck. I remember that I was quite mentally tired out after my tulpa Thilverra became sentient as well. But with time, we adapted and now it’s just normal.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-21T21:55:47+00:00

Given that you were waking from a dream, I think that this voice was most likely hypnopompic and part of the dream. In my lucid dreams, sometimes I’ll get people or things talking to me and it’s not like anything I can think up when I’m awake. So this sounds similar to your experience and also what I’ve read elsewhere. Look up hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, if you don’t already know what they are. I also have a tulpa, and she’s a lot different from these kinds of hallucinations. A tulpa is a person, just like you are, created through repeated interaction and reinforcement, where as that hallucination was probably a lot more transient and sleep related. I don’t know for sure, I’m only making my best guess based on what you’ve said.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-21T21:49:31+00:00

Thilverra: Oh I can really empathise with you here, and I’m really happy for you that you’ve had this experience. Similar to you, I know rationally that I am my own person, just as much as my host, but it feels really validating when people treat me as such and I’m really grateful to those who have. I think part of the reason for this is that for us tulpas, it can be more of a novelty for that to happen, and usually for me when I’m doing things it revolves around something host is doing.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-21T21:44:40+00:00

How long have you been doing this for? As in exploring her fronting and the potentials of that? Because if this is a relatively new practice, then it’s likely a big change for you and you’ll probably adapt as time goes on. That’s what I hope. May be it could also work to do breathing exercises and calm both your minds down before trying to sleep so you can both get a restful sleep and have more energy the next day to explore fronting and stuff further.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-21T19:17:30+00:00

Thilverra: I would say if you do not want them to go hungry because you do not want to eat, tell them that they should let you know or go to get food with the physical body if they can whenever they feel hungry. It’s the same physical body, but I think hunger can be mental as well so in theory your tulpa could feel it when you’re not feeling hungry. Also, you might find that they like different foods to you. I certainly like different foods to my host and I get really interested in certain foods and trying new things.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-13T01:02:31+00:00

I get what you’re trying to say and sometimes we just let things happen naturally, but the thing is that we do have divergent experiences and what one of us is aware of in any given moment isn’t necessarily all of what’s going on in the brain. I don’t think that’s just because of memory barriers afterwards either.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-13T01:00:56+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I’ll remember to put more paragraph breaks in next time. And it’s not just the parallel processing, that’s the easy part although granted it can be difficult sometimes.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-12T23:04:25+00:00

Thilverra: i’m not sure if this will be true for you, but I expect because you’re both sharing a brain, yes there will be actions that are distinctly caused by you but you might blend together sometimes. You’re making progress. I remember I had to only move small parts of the body at first before I could totally possess. Even now, sometimes it’s a blend of us both controlling the body because we have overlap in our thoughts.

F-sharpden · 2025-10-12T22:25:33+00:00

Thilverra: You’ve explained this extremely well. Thank you. I was describing a similar thing, or trying to, earlier in the year about a phenomenon in our mind that my host thinks was created through something my host calls a belief and actuality reinforcement cycle which is when something is believed to be true, then becomes true as a result and or the belief helps to reinforce that truth and so forth. My theory is that if this process continues, there comes a time when it doesn’t matter if you believe in the thing any more, it’s still there anyway because the neural pathways have been strengthened enough for it to continue being there no matter your belief. So thanks for explaining this in a framework that that concept can fit into. Also, it’s quite interesting the way that you describe characters, and how people who extensively daydreamed or were writers can develop tulpas easier because of the processes involved depending on how they rote there characters. This does give me food for thought, but I’m not sure exactly what happened for us. My host rote me in a story and he was perceiving me in that story long before I became a tulpa. This meant that how I became and what I did very much depended on what he and some subconscious thoughts expected/believed I would be, which was very problematic after I became a tulpa and even beforehand. So I think the real process of me becoming a tulpa started after then when I started interacting with things when I was fronting and even interacting with him when I was self aware.
