Unfortunately I haven't made any notable progress with lucid dreaming yet, but you guys on the forum will certainly hear about it when I do. I wasn't aware of that guide, but it seems pretty much like what I wanted to make, albeit longer. I'm more interested in expanding my knowledge to give more informed advice than to write a guide. But that looks like good stuff, so I'll give it a read later. But since you asked and seemed so expectant, I'll give what I've got, though I'm sure that guide is much more useful. One of my first snippets of a lucid dream where I actually got to do something, I turned around to create a door behind me leading straight to my wonderland house, awkwardly stumbled through the hallway as I was beginning to wake up, and saw Tewi and Reisen sitting on the couch, a bit surprised to see me. Sort of like the look on your face when somebody randomly stumbles into the room you were calmly inhabiting. From the tiny bit of mental diagnostic feels I could glean from that experience and my own theorizing, it seems the legitimacy of your tulpas in your dream depends on your focus and ability to control the dream. You have to employ your power over the dreamscape, like I did to create a door behind me by "knowing" it was there, to make the dream characters your tulpas. Though the control they really have is questionable, essentially a stable dream character running directly off of subconscious information and processes (as is so seamless in dreams) that you fully believe and intend to be your tulpa, will be. There simply is no way to differentiate them, as a truly independent tulpa is already working subconsciously without your direct control, as would be the dream character. And believing they are your tulpa and making it so in the dream would mean they are essentially as there in the dream as they are in waking life. There's still the matter of you subconsciously or consciously controlling the dream and therefore them, but that's the type of thing I want to research myself. As far as I can tell from my research of others' research, dreams can be allowed to play out on their own without your control, just maintaining your own lucidity. So I don't think an experienced lucid dreamer would influence their tulpas any more in a dream than they do in real life. So uh.. Thanks for asking, but nope, no progress! I mean, I'm recalling dreams and mentally cataloging dream signs, but no progress I can relay as information yet. My hypothesizing is based on my research of lucid dreaming and tulpas, plus a bit of my own and putting together what makes sense to me. But I'm not a credible source yet. From the tiny bit of that guide I just read, "From my own experience, tulpa and host have the same difficulties during dreams. Tulpas can also be "going with the dream" when you meet them, be distracted and not pay much attention to you (just like when you have a normal dream). For a perfect experience, you need your tulpa to also be lucid. If your tulpa seems to be lost and distracted, remind them that they are inside a dream, tell them to not get distracted with the flow of the dream and to pay attention to you." ... it seems perfect. He seems to have accounted for one of the most important parts already, so he has my approval. Rely on it for now until you can make your own rules. I'll try to corroborate if/when I make progress, but that could be a long time. I wouldn't wait for my advice.
