Alters communication via......

Many of my Alts communicate with music to tell me how they are feeling or sometimes parts of there memories. I was wondering if any of you experience anything like this? I am so used to it that it has become a staple in communication.

"Give me the music of a nation, I will change a nation's mind"--Plato.

I would say that music is an excellent means of communication. Those of us in our system have no clear communication as of yet, if anyone has had any dealings with Alia they have learned how difficult a task that is because of the way she was kept utterly disconnected from mainstream society and ideas.
We do all love music. Everything from Pavarotti to Nickelback, Train and the Black-Eyed Peas. We aren't communicating what to eat for dinner or whether or not we are going to be able to finish school but we are able to get from each other feelings and a little of where our heads are for the day. Music is also a very good therapy. Nothing calms us like music. We have no pets here at university, so you-tube therapy is all we have.

We have one in particular that communicates with lyrics relevant to our everyday life. Kind of like having a dukebox in our head. She plays "walk on by" when we are in a store and someone wants to buy something we shouldn't or she often puts on songs with lyrics about strength and not taking crap from anyone, for example "special ones" by the band George or "no more drama" by Mary J Blige.
Some of the others use music to express themselves too. It's kinda cool. It means we have very diverse musical taste.
I think music as a staple form of communication can come about because it's a good way of communicating which won't alarm the host (during the time before they become aware that there are others).

This seems to be the standard form of communication in our system, as we dont fully aware of each other... more feelings or emotional senses. One minute calm n happy, the next frenetically bouncing all over the place, then on a rampage, etc. Music is AWESOME!

Thank you so much all it really helps to know I am not so far in my own head that I can't have something in common with others.

Fen sometimes I need music cause it is the only thing that clears up confusion at times. I have some with me like Alia they really struggle with any communication at all but they can often find a song or something that really helps bridge between me and them. I can't say it always is calming though especially if one of us is going through something hard sometimes a music choice I did not even know I had and it is hard to listen to scary even but I do it in a way as honoring the alts trying to play it something they need to hear even if I do not understand.

Salted Lipstick, I know very much what that is like in fact the whole reason I started seeing T to get help was because a few of the alts would not leave me alone with a song. About changing and needing help. I am glad I did because the events that unfolded would not had been good without my T. I love them for that.

jacksenigma, I am in the same place kind of. Even though I have been this way for so very long this is the first time in my life I am trying to stay present and treat my alters out loud in 3D. I have many who do talk to me directly and we share a semi co life but others who hide and a couple who lurk. I share music with the ones I share life with the others we send music to each other

Ok so here is the very funny thing. Some of my alts think they have written the songs they like. I gave up arguing over the matter. I think they just feel so connected to one or two they see it as there creation. Do I need to correct that? I don't think there is any harm to let them have it, they have had so little in there lives.

Thanks all.........and .............good morning!

yes, I have that too! It's sometimes really unnerving and most of the time I don't take it seriously, lest I'm making it up. But it's happened so much, by now

Mine do this also. I think a couple communicate that way exclusively, in fact. Even with 'outside' people, not just me or other insiders.

Yep it can be unnerving for sure. I thought I was making up the connection between the two also for a while but when what was wanting to be heard and felt was mirroring what was to come or what was happening I knew I was not making it up. Some alts are so aware of little things that can often foreshadow what I don't see coming.

YES! Me too. Or rather mine too. Words are not trusted by them for good reason. Thanks gwilly you said what I could not! awesome

I've found that if say Alia is really sad and can't express it or can't cry which is often the case or doesn't understand why she is seeing or feeling certain things, I can sort of cue up a song and just step back. Believe me, she is none the wiser. It's sort of the prodding in the direction of hopefully helping her figure things out. God knows we are so far out. Music has many uses. It's a handy medium when people are receptive or just unaware as is the case.
