The Dream Thread

[Brittany]

Just about every person I've talked to has that "other, dark, complete opposite personality" that comes out of them at some point. It's actually quite natural to have several personalities at once- the societally acceptable face you show to the world, and the rest of it that you hide away out of fear of criticism or shame. Basically, the shadow self. It isn't unusual at all for the shadow self to be so completely repressed that it builds up and ends up manifesting as a separate personality (know this from experience). This doesn't have to be the full blown disorder where a person will actually make a complete switch between personalities and not even realize it. It can be the simple sensing of "another you", or a voice in the back of your head, or having two conflicting opinions at once. From what I've heard, a walk-in is a complete switch off...it isn't like two people jousting for dominance...that would be more like some type of possession. Of course, anything is possible, but to me it just sounds like you're a normal human being.
