I'm gonna update this real quick, cause I feel like I just had a genuine connection with Pinkie just a couple of minutes ago
I was just forcing a while ago, and I think I got a response from her. When I was wrapping up our forcing session, I swear I heard her say "I love you, and I can't wait to be there with you."
After 5 months of forcing (off and on), I finally got a response that I can say I'm confident that it was her, and I'm really fucking happy about it

So, it's been a little harder for me to properly force as of late, I assume because of my growing depression.
However, last night I did start attempting to make a wonderland, although I didn't make too much progress due to me completely losing concentration after around 20 minutes.
I'm starting with Pinkie's bedroom, since she said that she would like that to be the start to the wonderland. I got some pretty weird feelings when I was concentrating/imagining it though. I got this falling feeling, and it seemed like the noise around me was amplified, and then when I snapped back, I was really lightheaded and dizzy, and it just seemed like the room I was in got brighter and blurred. Then once I finished the forcing session, I got a really bad headache.
Has anything similar happen to anyone else? I've read about people getting head pressures, but I've never heard of anyone getting a full on headache, much less any of that other stuff.

Similar things happened to me in my early days as well. Head pressures and light headaches, at times I'd feel sapped of energy and go fall asleep. I'd say it's normal.

I get headaches all the time from forcing. It requires a lot of cognition.
Let me know if you need anything. I'm here to help.

Welp, something awesome happened like two days ago, didn't get the chance to update this on it though.
On Tuesday at about nine or so in the morning, I started to force with Pinkie, and she actually replied to me, for the first time since November 1st. It was great, we spoke for about an hour and a half. Sweets and Bon Bon even got to talk to her for a little bit (over text). I could hear her voice just a little, but it was more like a head voice, if that makes sense. Her personality seemed exactly what I was hoping for, really happy and upbeat. She also really took an interest in the stuff I did and people that I know. I wish we could've spoke longer, but it got to the point where it was really difficult for me to hear her, she had to repeat something she wanted me to tell Sweets like four times before I understood what she was saying, but the time we were able to spend together was absolutely amazing. I was also able to remember one of my dreams that night, and she was there too. It was a pretty simplistic dream, me and her were just walking around in some neighbourhood, but it was still really nice just to spend time with her.
I haven't been able to talk to her too much since then, though. She's been saying some stuff to me here and there, but I haven't been able to just sit down and talk. I wanted to yesterday, but I was in a really depressive mood, and I didn't want to bring her down cause she was insanely happy yesterday, so I just told her that, and she was fine with it. I'm gonna try again today, hopefully all goes well.
After six months, she's finally becoming vocal, and I'm so fucking happy about it

I didn't realise it's almost been a year since I posted on this thread.. Huh.
Anyway, in the time that I've been gone, it's definitely gotten a lot easier for me to talk to/focus on Pinkie for sustained periods of time. At the beginning of this year, I was really struggling to keep it up for more than 45 minutes or so, the headaches just got to be to much. But now, I'm able to focus on her for almost the full day, even when she's just laying on my bed while I'm on my computer. It's definitely gotten better.
Now, the part I need help/advice on. Visualising.
I started visualising since about late January (can't believe it's been that long, jesus). I kinda gave up on the wonderland method though, I just don't think it's for me. So I kinda took on a different way of doing it, one that someone on the r/tulpas subreddit called the "armature method". I guess to best explain what I do is open eyed forcing, even if she isn't my sole focus at the moment. It's hard to explain, please bear with me.
So, even though I can't physically see her, I still am able to know what she's doing, such as if she rolls over when in bed, or if she walks somewhere, so I try to picture her in my surroundings doing whatever it is. It's not so much as I picture her where ever though, she chooses where she is specifically, like if I'm laying down with her, she chooses whether she's on my left or right, how close to me she is, etc.
It's kinda hard to explain, honestly. I hope I did an okay job.
My question is, is this good enough? Is it supposed to take this long? I mean, I can sometimes get the faintest, and I mean the faintest outlines of her, but she still isn't even entirely visible in my dreams when I know she's in them. Is there anything I should try in addition to this? Is this too close to puppeting, and should I stop doing this? I'm not actually making her do anything, all of these actions are ones she makes on her own accord. I mean, I guess she's kind of superimposing herself into my environment, but is that an actual difference from puppeting?
I'm honestly just a bit confused on how to go about this, honestly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone please give me advice on visualising? I've been trying, but I just can't seem to get anywhere.
Pinkie and I are wanting to get married, but we both want to wait until she's visualised more, and maybe even imposed, so I really want to get on this.
I've explained how it is for me in the previous post, but long story short: I can't quite see her, but I know what she's doing in the real world, and can occasionally see a faint image of her, and more often can feel her when she's pressed up against me. I've just been continuing on with this sort of visualisation, but I don't think this alone is good enough, and would GREATLY appreciate some guidance.

It sounds to me like you're mostly doing it right. Don't puppet her, but when you know where she is, try to focus on her, with your eyes open. Make your eyes shift focus so they are where she would be if she were flesh. Also, incorporate your other senses.
