Dreams of Inner Space and parts

Postby Fracturedself » Sun Dec 30, 2012 7:57 am

Do you have dreams of parts - and do you find they are actual events happening or a message being given to you?
I've been having some dreams that I'm not sure how to process. I'm curious who else has dreams about parts and systems and events. Do you believe what you see? Do you have reason to believe or not believe the dreams as truth?

Well, i believe i wrote about a dream or two i've had before that seemed to be about alters. I was curious as to what they might have meant myself. Especially because in one, my alter had a curious wound that seemed to be the 'focus' of the dream in a way, and i'm really interested in what it might mean. Also, i was wondering if *I* was having the dream, or my alter was (or maybe a combination of both) since in the dream, it sort of shifted from being from the alter's point of view to *my* point of view.

We have had lots of dreams of alters and inner spaces and such - and a great deal of them have been truthful and even a way for alters who have been "sleeping" to start to "wake up" again. I hope you're able to look at the dream closely, and see if it might be sending you a message you want/need to hear.

One dream I had irritated me someone was telling me someone thing very important.I don't remember what she said til this day.
It was my Emphatic alter in the form of a different person.

Another with my admin in a elk/human form telling me about the fall of mankind And showed me a buddist totem. I usually also have dreams affected by there presence my admin since being kind of a old English hippie always gives me spectacular scenery's I can't describe the beauty. And luchresha an admin in training gives grey, dank and industrial dreams.

Just in case you haven't seen it: Access Denied (Update)

I think it depends on the dream. There have been instances of alters giving information in dreams. Maybe it depends on how clear it is? Maybe there are ways to verify whether what is in the dream is actually real? Does it make sense or does it explain things?
I tend to have some sort of daydreams/lucid dreams (still don't know the difference) with everything floating in it, and when I try to talk to alters it's usually just bogus. I ask one thing I get 'yes', I ask the opposite and again get 'yes'.

I'd like to say what my dreams are about cause I need help.
**Trigger warning** suicidal parts
I've been having dreams about 2 parts who are suicidal and showing me their plan. Then one night I saw 2 parts commit suicide. There has been a major change in the system since then. I can't tell which parts might have done it, if they really did it (think they did it). For the last few weeks I've only been aware of the host and a guard, I think. And me, whoever I am.
*End trigger warning*
Many of the thoughts/voices that I've heard before are gone. When I go to therapy I can't seem to form a single thought long enough to say it out loud. I can only answer I don't know. I can hardly remember sessions because of this. I feel so lost.

I'm sorry you're in so much distress.

Alters can not die. They can believe themselves to be dead, but they aren't really. But the point is to work with your system with what it believes. Have you tried writing to the others inside to ask if anyone knows what's happened, or who it was? Could anyone inside help you calm things down a bit?

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. I keep forgetting that things are kinda bad. I think I'm just fine, then I find evidence that I'm really upset by all of this. I've isolated myself from my friends, my SO and my T. . . I just don't want to talk about anything.

I know alters can't die, but they know they can go away for a long time this way. They don't want anything to do with things going on. Like problems with SO and a friend. Some parts are tired of the chaos and can hardly get through it, so they'd rather go away.
I don't think I have really asked who it was. I am afraid to know. I think the main parts I know about are still here. Allegra, Angie - those two were my first concern, but they seem to be okay, just in hiding and no doubt plotting. I did tell a friend last night about all of this and she said she was concerned about Allegra. . .
I have a piece of loose paper that has a bunch of different handwritings talking about this situation. No one says who it was, but everyone is talking about rules for this sort of thing in the future. One parts says anyone else can "go away" if they want to, as long as they follow the rules. This is intense. I don't want to talk to my T about any of this. She will have so many questions and I don't know the answer and I just want to curl up in a ball under a blanket and not come out.

It's funny you should post this now as just last I dreamt of parts. In the past, before I knew about the DID, I would often dream about the parts trying to tell me of their existence or tell me that everything would be all right. Occasionally there would be a dream that would be excruciatingly realistic in some way and someone would be a narrator/guide of sorts to the dream.

Since getting back into therapy, I will often dream of various parts wanting to talk about things but I can't hear what they're saying. Last night, for example, my teen was trying to explain something to my T (and by default, me too). Every time she tried to say something, I heard it like she was talking underwater. When she would start talking, I got the sense that she and I were back to back. Every time she would start to talk I would try to turn around to listen but because she was behind me I could never quite face her and never quite hear what she said. It was simultaneously infuriating and...relieving. :oops:

I'm sorry this is happening to you. It sounds very stressful.

You might want to make a new thread for the specifics of the *trigger* suicide *end* if you don't get the answers you need here so more people see it. I don't know too much about this but I know others here have had similar experiences.

Best of luck :)
