What is coconscienceness to you?

Im wondering what coconscienceness means to everyone. Is it the same term as saying were co-ing?
In my system we have an "out room" where you go for when your going to come out, and in the out room we have a chair that we sit in while were out. Now if 2 of us sit in the chair were then Co-ing together, both of us out handling things. So is that the same as coconscience? Itd help alot if I could get some explainations for this. Ive been recently switching and feeling a bit blasted with whoever has been outs memories and it being so strongly that I have the feelings from what had happened while they were out, like if it was me that was out, but I wasnt. So Im trying to figure out whats the right terms for what Im experiencing but also what exactly coconscience means to you all as well, so I can have a better understanding and educate myself more.

My boyfriend's system is kinda weird... He told me that it's sort of split into three... The outside world, which is where the personality will be visible, and where everything is,,, Such as other people like me who don't have DID... Basically, the outside.. If you can consider it a "room"... The second would be the "conscious" from what he has described. This is where everybody is at. It's a bit more spacious, and I have been told by some of the personalities that it's all nature-like, and my boyfriend told me that it sort of looks like the forest in the Dr. Sues book movie The Lorax. And in the last room, it's more or less the size of a small bathroom. That room is his "sub-conscious". He's told me that when he switches, a lot of the time he will go in there. Supposedly, it's just a small white room with a chair and some books. But I've also had the protector tell me that the room can either be empty or it can literally feel like hell... When my boyfriend experiences a very powerful emotion (love for example) he can sort of "block" them and force them all in that room. And when the effects work, or if they made some sort of deal (they said that they would not come out until we broke up, but right now they are out and we are still dating [also suspected that they would come out if my boyfriend was going through a big situation, which he is at the moment]) and I will actually get to talk to one of them today, which I am kinda excited because it's not an every day thing to talk to them without having my boyfriend mediate for them.

Now with the "second" room, I'll call the Forest, everybody can see what's going on on the outside world. There have been times where my boyfriend was not active in the world I live in and had one of the other alters outside, and he told me that it was sort of weird seeing his body do things that he would never do, such as walking with his hips swaying if a female alter were to take over, or seeing one of his friends upset because of something an alter did. He told me when that has happened, it sort of felt like it was a dream and it wasn't really happening.

I don't know if that made sense or not... I hope I answered your question.

I do know that systems are VERY different from one an other. My boyfriend's system may be very weird to some of you guys, and he may find your system odd compared to yours. But his system works for him, and yours works for yours. I honestly just find systems in general quite interesting.

From what you describe, yes, what you call "co-ing" is what is known as "co-consciousness". Or, "sharing the wheel", "sharing control", "both sharing the captain's chair", etc. It's like, if your body was a car, there'd be two drivers in the driver's seat (or more, every system's different). HOWEVER, co-consciousness can also be having one in the driver's seat, and having one looking out the "window" while the other is driving. Does that make sense? I hope it does. You don't have to both be in control of the body to be co-conscious. You just have to both know what is going on at the same time. Because, whether or not you're in control or "looking out the window", if you both know what's going on at the same time, (key words, same time), that means you're both out at the same time, and thus, co-conscious. You are both aware of the outside world around the body at the same time. (Sorry if I repeat, I'm a bit fuzzy right now).
