How to create more memory palaces

[InMyMemoryWorld (Boris)]

There are real memory palaces: a mental replica of places you’ve been to or places you’ve seen, there are fantastic or “imaginary” memory palaces: a place you create spot by spot, and there are mixed memory palaces (the best for me): an fantastic place with mental replicas or a mental replica with fantastic alterations.

Now the tips:

• Remember the method of loci: a place of your choice, where then you select spots, arrange or not in journey and then you make an mnemonic image for what you want to memorize interacting or not with spot select for each mnemonic image.
• Don’t focus on seeing all the details of the palace, but have a distinction for each.
• It’s your imagination, the rules of reality don’t apply there.
• Best memory palace are combination of a real place and a fantastic one. Can you imagine a levitating house?
• You can create a bigger palace by expanding your house memory palace, this a call: portals. Select spots and those will be doors to imaginative places.
• You can use your house or any place as a model for an imaginary place. Example: when I first learned the method of loci, i read a book about it and the example was for memorizing a list of facts and I started picturing a place as I was imagining what the book was telling me to, when I finish I realized that the room I picture was similar and many ways and distinct in others to my living room. Now, consciously I create places like that sometimes very fast, sometimes I get stuck.
• When creating an imaginary place, you may get stuck if: you want to twist everything and design everything, you want to create something you have never seen (that’s not possible, is it?), you’re tired.
• Use a memory palace to memorize your memory palaces, maybe you use a room in your house and they become portals to each. Though you coud also imagine a world, city, landscape and place them there.
• When memorizing forever: it’s better to make your image interact with your spot or locus.
• When you want to forget imagine your place empty.

It’ll obviously be easier with your own body, but it is possible to use other people. In my body I have 90 spots, being conservative. Third: Rega…
