Verba, I was told that I had a "splintered personality". I had been aware of 3 of me in my dreams, for years. I am not familiar with DDNOS or what it stands for or what it is. I know what DID is.
I was not aware that one or more of the 3 of me were coming out while I was asleep...I sleep walk... until my husband had a run in with one of them while I was asleep. I had never told anyone about the "Tiger Lady" or the "Little Girl".
I am one when things are good. But when I am having trouble I am 3 and use "we".
Two weeks ago I had an encounter where I was talking to my husband about some trauma in my past and triggered myself...while we were in the truck, on the way to town. I had something happen in my head, like a huge explosion without pain. I saw white light, got very dizzy and had trouble gettign myself back together. When I got leveled out, I could see everythign going on, I could respond and react, but was not able to talk. I could answer yes and no but not converse about anything in detail. I was silenced. I could feel my face, but the rest of my body was numb. The emtional feeling was that of a child sitting on a river bank with my feet dangling in the water with a feeling of, "la..la..la...lala..la..la.." There was peace adn tranquility...no anxiety or anything, but I did not feel like myself. This continued until we were in the truck on the way back home, then it was gone. Faded like a mist over the water. It scared me and made me feel very odd...I had never had that while awake.
