Cholita had one a few years ago. I haven't seen it since, but that's just because I stay out of her yard where it was hanging out. I'd have to sit next to the tree it likes for 20 minutes or so, to get silent enough to move my assemblage point where I can perceive it.
And Cholita wouldn't like that at all.
Taisha used her ability to slightly perceive tree spirits (like the sights during darkroom are often transparent or vague) to "stalk the position of her assemblage point".
Meaning, hold it where it had moved to so it didn't go back to normal and turn her into an idiot again.
We do the same if we have an Ally, during darkroom. They're extremely helpful for keeping your attention on the new depths your assemblage point moves to.
Then once Taisha was up in the tree house with the "Tree Greebles", she focused on doing martial arts on the ground.
Which is impossible.
So her double came out.
It's a perfect mirror of what we do during darkoom.
Our double will come out when we're doing tensegrity and it causes something impossible to become visible.
A concrete example might be, a magical goblet glistening in the darkness becomes visible in the air.
So you reach out to take it.
Except...
It was behind a solid wall. Only the double's arm could actually have taken it.
But you don't feel that. It seems like your physical arm reached out and took it.
That's how the "laws of physics" breaking magic works during darkroom.
You simply do it! With no detectable explanation for how.
You don't lay down, close your eyes, and visualize it.
Thus the tensegrity is vital to the process. To keep you honest.
But behind a wall or not, it's very hard for a beginner to pick up a magical object.
They're like the puffs. You actually have to turn your head to make it look like you're moving them around. And if you mess with them too much, they go away.
Fortunately trying to scoop them causes the assemblage point to shift sideways, and they become so real you can play with them like purple glowing whipped cream.
At the intermediate levels of darkroom, how to shift sideways far enough to "make things real" is key to the most fun you can have.
But if you shift too far and reach the edge of man's band at that depth, you end up in slumber.
So it's a continuum of rationality that's too strong to allow magical objects to be solid, in the middle of man's band, to slumber on the far edge. Perhaps 4 or 5 inches either way.
And in between various levels of "stupidity".
Where you accept something nonsensical readily, thus allowing the assemblage point to shift to make that real.
When you reject the nonsensical, it won't move over there.
Thus women have a huge advantage in dreaming.
They more readily accept "the abstract".
The abstract is like the nonsensical on steroids.
It's so nonsensical, you can't even find a single word to describe it.
And yet, you can experience it directly and it seems absolutely normal at the time.
I suppose women get pushed into that a little monthly.
Don Juan said, women start out in the abstract. Thus he refused to give Taisha power plants, no matter how much she begged to get them.
She didn't need them.
While men can't even comprehend what it could be.
And have to move their assemblage points to the deep orange zone to even perceive it.

They call those greebles.
Inorganic beings cats can see.
It's not impossible.
Trees have inorganic beings who prefer them.
