Multiple Personalities

Multiple personalities in dreams, and dreams of multiple personality disorder. I included this topic partly because a lot of MPD's are vivid, shamanic dreamers, likely to be drawn to sites like this... and partly because I'm mildly multiple myself--able to pass as normal, because I have good memory continuity, but with several highly autonomous personalities who pursue their own goals and don't always inform me beforehand... whoever me is that day.

The more severe MPD's I've known have a hard row to hoe, but, like autism, multiplicity has its strengths, too. MPD is one of the reasons I could build this huge site alone. It was a group project--and I was never alone.
