Ours is a big natural world. When we were in the hospital this was actually an assignment we had, to draw our internal space. If I ever get our scanner working I might scan it in for reference.
G lives at the bottom of an inky, icy sea. The landscape near her sea is often stormy and looks a lot like idyllic pictures of Ireland or Scotland. There's a pier for anyone trying to get ahold of her who can't swim or can't go to the bottom of an ocean. There are lots of seals swimming in the ocean, mermaids and fish too. G says there are other things deeper down too.
G has a foothill/smaller mountain which we call her file cabinet. It's an extensive cave system which no one is allowed into without G's permission. It is often where we go during guided imagery in therapy if we're trying to get rid of a nasty memory. G will open up a part of the mountain - we'll bury the ashes of the memory and then she'll stomp the ground until the mountain collapses onto the memory.
S3 lives on a snowy mountain that goes up, almost without end. It is always snowing with little signs of life aside from the occasionally paw print. Her mountain slopes into C's forest. It always smells very nice on the mountain.
C lives in a bamboo forest. The forest has a reflecting pool in the middle and receives a light snowfall where it backs into Snow's mountain. Throughout the forest there are several trees that have bells tied to them, so while it is possible to sit in silence, often there are bells chiming, especially as one walks through the forest.
E lives in a massive swamp with a plantation in the middle and a graveyard. There's a little yellow motorboat for getting through deeper water although E says it's possible to walk through most of the swamp. There are lots of creatures that live in the woods.
S1 lives at the edge of the swamp. She lives on the other side of a small river/creek flowing out of the swamp in a grove of pine trees. She lives in Snoopy's dog house despite the fact she's not a dog.
V1 lives in a savannah. There are lots of baobab trees and lots of places to hide, but there is almost always the sense of being watched by something just out of sight. In the middle of the savannah there is a gigantic bonfire with several logs for sitting. It is always burning. More recently, V1 has started showing the rest of us/or building onto her savannah. It now has an area of huge old growth trees, tall like the red woods, but clearly jungle. She has a very intricate treehouse built throughout the treetops.
S2 lives in a black void that is always warm. He has a cuddly blanket with blue and yellow stripes.
V2 lives in a large, dirty apartment in a dirty, rundown neighborhood. He doesn't seem bothered by the dirt or the rundown appearance of the neighborhood as long as he can have his armchair.
I have a floating island I can go to. It's got an everblooming cherry tree and bushes for hiding.
We have a few common places:
The dark place, an area of sensory deprivation. It's just black, sometimes dark blue. It's very comforting and often used for meetings or discussions.
The garden, a huge garden surrounded by a peach-colored wall that is tall enough that only G can see over it. There are lots of elm trees and rose bushes throughout. There is also a garden which has lots of fruits and vegetables growing. Near the garden there's a water mill next to a creek. There is also a pit which is used as a containment unit when someone is being hurtful/dangerous. The garden leads into a deciduous forest that leads to the back of G's mountain. In the forest there is a meadow of colorful wildflowers and tall grass that constantly has butterflies flying in clouds over the top.
The screaming place, a post-apocolyptic wasteland. This is an orange desert constantly in a state of turmoil. There is no life in this land, only the remnants thereof such as dead branches. The sky is constantly in a state of a rumbly lightning storm and the area feels electric. There are strange rock formations throughout the area. In the center, there is a colorful striation in the ground, orange, jagged reds, jagged browns, jagged blacks, even a few purples out in an angry, raging circle. This is a place where anyone can go to safely release anger or scream or do what they need to do.
Other places we can go, but generally don't:
The lakebed, a valley that used to be a lake but is now just dried, cracked dirt. Everything is yellow in this landscape and very dusty. It's also very, very hot. Up on the mountain surrounding the valley there is a cave with pot filled with cooling water, a bedroll, a quill pen and a lamp like the one in Aladdin. There is a very uncomfortable feeling about this area, but what's uncomfortable about it hasn't been identified yet. This mountain is also a foothill of S3's mountain.
The coniferous forest, a very, very dense forest with a dirt road partitioning it. This area also feels very uncomfortable for unknown reasons.
We're not invited.
