Ok so I have a friend who talks a lot about tulpas and the like and granting agency to entities within your brain, and I also have a friend who told me how to do self-hypnosis and recommended it. That is how I ended up doing this.

Third or fourth time, and this was the most successful by a wide margin. In my estimation the reason this was successful is that I had a very specific goal in mind, and believed strongly that it would work, with aiding factors that I tried to go “deeper” into trance than I previously had, instead of just the one descent, I did two. I have no proof of this but also pulling on memories of dreams probably helped to really feel like I was going into my own brain, rather than some arbitrary place.
Resource-wise I had done a bunch of reading on the mechanisms of normal hypnotic induction on wikipedia and I also read the entire script to the stanford hypnotic suggestibility test. After that I read two tutorials on autohypnosis - one of them was wikihow lmao - and then tried it. The first 3 times really weren’t that interesting though and I was just aimlessly going into trance with a vague objective. I think it also helped a lot that this attempt was much more personal and creative than the others.

thank you very much for your detailed answer! I appreciate this a lot. thinking about memories of dreams is something I wouldn't have thought of and I can very much see how it could help.
I'm going to keep trying with renewed enthusiasm! you're awesome
