Question about Dreaming

When you dream, do you see your alters as totally separate from you physically? Or do you switch and have one body like in real life?

I seem to be getting a mixture of both lately - if switching is an important part in the dream (for example, if I have a dream in which I'm surrounded by people who I mostly don't know, then we are all in one body and much of the dream is me trying not to switch.) then it's there, but when I switch I start to look different. Then in other dreams where it isn't an important part we all seem separate. I think a lot of the first type has to do with anxiety over someone finding out, but does anyone else get this?

I rarely dream of my alters. But when I do they have their own body as the way they see them in the inner world. Often if I do dream of them it is because they are telling a story, from their view point. For example the only way I really know anything about Bobby, our youngest (2 years) is because of 'his' dream.

It varies for me, but usually I see them in separate bodies. Lately though, I've really been working on the whole idea of "the things that happened to them happened to me" so I've been trying to think of everyone as having one body. It's...kind of hard and confusing.

As a lucid dreamer I often try to seek out my alters. I often go in search of Scott and so he appears as being outside of my body. Also, in waking life, I do sometimes see my alters as being outside of my body, as for many years I believed them to be separate entities and not a part of myself.
However sometimes I will have a dream where it feels like I am not myself. I recently posted about a new alter who seemed to take over my lucid dreams and made me take part in activities that I normally wouldn't dream about.

So it varies but the majority of the time they are separate to me.

sometimes in my dreams I switch but I'm usually threatened

others I'm following or seeing alters
One dream Barry was telling me to get on the train and then he walked off
charlie was dancing on an oceans cliff edge
My admin once was explaining the fall of mankind in a half animal form

Both. It depends on what the dream was about, which alter it is and just the general feel of the dream. I also sometimes just "watch" the dream - as in, I'm not really there I just watch it and another alter has his/her own body and I see what he/she does etc.

Thanks for the replies! I was beginning to wonder if I was just weird ^.^''

I see them in their own bodies. Dreams is how I meet a lot of parts/alters. Once I dreamed of 5-6 parts walking around calling frantically for Seth. I still don't know who Seth is, but I imagine he's important. . . .
