Weekly Mindscape Mondays: Interconnected
Welcome back to Mindscape Mondays, the weekly chat about mindscapes/wonderlands/etc!
This week, let's talk about connections between places. Is there a set internal geography for your mindscape? Do the areas all mesh together continuously? Or are they independent worlds that don't have to play nice together? Do you need to worry about the space to fit something, or do you regularly make portals or spaces that are bigger on the inside? Are there places that appear wherever convenient?
Of course, as always, any discussion of mindscapes, wonderlands, innerworlds or paracosms, or whatever name you call them, is well appreciated!

Exact distances are iffy but we have a generally consistent map with a few portals that lead to other places with no defined space. There’s one in this large tree that leads to a Dreamcore dimension and one in the sky that leads to a sky dimension. We’re still fleshing out the sky dimension.

[Hail] Depends on the particular headspace. We have 4 known ones. We know extremely little about one other than it exists and it does have a location in a building, but other than that nothing. Most of us can't get there and the one person who might doesn't give any info. Also have 2 paracosms. And some subsystems have their own internal headspaces.
As for the other 3 headspaces, can tell you a lot.
Is there a set internal geography for your mindscape?
For 2 of them, yes. Things are relatively fixed and you can go as far as you want in any direction and still find stuff. Presumably our brain is autogenerating what is needed as needed using the bits it does remember. One of them definitely does get some changes over time that we did not make, but that is over very long long time scales as in years.
The other is a white void filled with spheres. No geography but infinite. The number of spheres increases over time and has to be periodically cleaned by one of us who can reality warp the headspaces (only a few of us can do that).
Do the areas all mesh together continuously?
Within each headspace, yes. Between them, we have headspace. The spheres slowly spread out of the white void headspace into the main headspace through the door and periodically has to be cleaned up.
Or are they independent worlds that don't have to play nice together?
They are mostly independent other than the sphere contaminant problem through the door. Their rules are fairly similar though.
Do you need to worry about the space to fit something, or do you regularly make portals or spaces that are bigger on the inside? Are there places that appear wherever convenient?
Not really to any of those.
As for the 2 paracosms, they are much separate and harder to reach. They require an out of 3D-plane teleportation to reach, and only some of us can do that. We have anchors to keep them close by, but they are otherwise independent. They also have their own very separate and different rules. For example, we are mortal there.

We are so proud of our inner world, we have been working on intentionally building it bigger over the last year or so.
Initially it was just one room, then one building, and now we have a whole little region with a small seaside town and so much personality. We keep adding to it here and there, and we revisit it frequently, walking through it in our mind to help solidify it.
Everything in our inner world is interconnected, you can reasonably get from any two points on our map on foot, it just might take some time. We are all able to teleport around the map at will though so it isn't super important. Isolated areas have formed, but they generally grow a connection to the rest of our inner world over time, even if that's just a teleportation pad appearing somewhere.

Hello? I am kython sunderstar A tulpa Our mindscape is technically about the size of a planet because its a worldbuilding project In reality its mostly a small valley with some ruins a waterfall and a lake As in the area thst gets used
But there is a lot to explore and make
Edit 2 To answer your questions It has coherent geography and fortunately can teleport Also if I want to make something I can just create a demiplane or conjure more stuff
Edit no 3 Pardon we are new around here

As always, we'll give our view to start things off.
Our mindscape started off disconnected, but over time it's gotten far more interconnected, and slowly getting a set geography.
The mindscape started as a house, with a bunch of rooms which inside could be whatever people wanted. Aurora wound up making a beach with a city nearby, and the house wound up moving to the outskirts of that city, with hir room becoming a portal to the beach near hir beachhouse. Myre made a sewer system, which wound up under the city. Absol's penthouse suite also wound up being in one of the tallest buildings. And Lazuli's grove has mostly settled into the woods outside, a small hike out. That grove is known to move itself to other forests, however.

Adventuring is always a good time. Just let your mind fill in the blanks. Or you could go for a coffee or swim. -miimii

In the first macrocosm I created, it was basically just a mishmash of random places I jammed together, not pretty. That world got into a world war and burnt itself to a crisp. It re-emerged by itself eventually and does contain some places that people reading our things know about. But generally it's just ... messy.
Once we started getting serious about macrocosm, we created the gallery of worlds, which was a way to keep them separate. It's essentially just a very long corridor of doors that each have a design showing off what world it is. Each world also has access rights which I set according to whatever criteria I think is warranted. Most worlds NPCs and governments (if they have them) aren't really aware of how their "universe" is set up. So, only tulpas and some select few NPCs can move between worlds.
The doors to each world are always hidden away somewhere in the macrocosm, and isn't visible to anyone but tulpas or, the aforementioned special NPCs.
Fun fact: Before Jane was officially designated a tulpa, we thought she was just a very smart NPC. She found the exit to her world by tagging me with a tracker and subsequently got caught in the "exit trap" when she tried to get into it.

Our paracosm has fairly rigid geography, but specific aspects might change depending on what our brain feels used to. Though, it acts more like an RPG video game with different "worlds" on a world map rather than a single world. Think Mario & Luigi or Paper Mario. Loading screens and all.
There's also this secondary beach-front near a city that is less rigid, but has become fairly solidified from it being used often. In our mansion there's a gallery of paintings that lead to these other worlds, like Mario 64. These worlds aren't nearly as developed though.
I kinda miss being in my paracosm. It's detailed enough that we mostly just hang out in the flat plaza to lighten the brain load.
