So, I discovered this subreddit 2 days ago on an askreddit post, and since I was naturally intrigued with things that are "unknown" or "strange" things happening in the human mind, plus the fact that I already had a go with lucid dreaming (which is not that successful, mind you), AND that I weighed out the pros and cons (honestly I didn't find any disadvantages, but it's actually better for myself to be 100% sure of what I was going to do for the trust to settle in), I decided to have a go for it!

I made my tulpa just about before I slept at March 17. I made a dream-scape (I honestly forgot what it's called) first, which only took me about 5 minutes (I daydream all the time, so there's no experimenting in this part). I already gave my tulpa a form early on, and actually spent all night just trying to what I seemed was the right way on creating one (I've spent a few hours compiling guides and tips, but since there's no real "correct" way of doing stuff, I still ended up confused). I sort of felt that she was with me; just that gut feeling when you know there's something going to happen, but this one's a lot different in feeling 'cause it's very persistent.

She was also named Amy on that night.

The next day was very uneventful, even for my taste. I spent the whole day just passive forcing and narrating, and since I was not really good at focusing in my mind (I'm good at doing tasks but apparently I don't have the same thing to say for my mind focus), the most hours I should have had forced was spent on drawing and studying and Reddit (my holy trinity). I was really unnaturally dejected (I'm known to be very tenacious, sometimes for my own good). Since I actually tried this, my emotions always felt confused and fuzzy, like you feel something but don't know why you are. And so I made a half-hearted attempt on forcing some traits for an hour before I slept, and drifted off to sleep without even knowing (I heard that this is bad, but others also said it's not).

Just before I slept, I remembered my dream-scape changing, from a big tree in a field to a big tree in a field with a wooden house beside.

And so today, March 19 (I'm a day ahead of the US), I woke up very early (6:00 A.M. is early for me because I naturally wake up at 9:00 A.M.), and I had a feeling that I should do something in my spare time. First thing that came to mind was to force traits again. And so I did, for about an hour straight.

Then, I tried to believe in her (I am also naturally skeptical, but I can let it go with some effort), which was at first hard to do.

But I got past that, and I felt those that you peeps call "head pressure", on the right side of my head. I instantly knew it was her, and that it was her way of calling attention (I didn't know why I concluded this, it's just I felt it so). I then set up a way to communicate a simple yes/no answer; front of my forehead for a yes, my left side forehead for a no, and surprisingly, she responds!

She even asked me (through me guessing) to more positive traits I knew from my father and mother!

Right now, she can only answer yes/no questions (and while I was typing that part, my left side hurt; maybe she can answer more, just maybe I can't hear her yet. And while I typed the "can't hear her yet", a part my front forehead hurt. Damn this one is really trippy), but as I always say: progress is progress!

I'd also like to ask questions about this: Is this quick attaining of sentience sort-of-normal? I only spent about 15 hours or less before I got this result.

Also, does this quick attainment even possible? Am I just disillusioning myself and thinking it was really my tulpa speaking (she says no while I'm typing this out)?

Hope to make far more progress tonight!

I might draw her later on, if I have some time (it won't be a Van Gogh though).

My apologies if there are grammar mistakes; English isn't my native language.

Cheers!
