Having imaginary friends and alters is different from each other. talk with you treatment people they can tell you the difference and why you can be aware of your imaginary friend but not be aware of the alters.

Some people know when their alters take over and which ones because they have this thing called co consciousness. its a big word that means being aware of your alters, being able to talk to your alters, being able to hear your alters, interacting with them.

Some people know when their alters take over and which one not through having the knowledge but by their therapists telling them- your alter kevin was here today and we talked about this. or other versions of the therapist letting them know an alter came out during a session.

Some people know because their friends have told them they met this alter or that one, or asked why did you tell me your name is so and so when I know your name is Reva?

Some people know when their alters come out and which ones because they find evidence - things they wouldnt normally buy, drawings, journal entries., a pack of ciigarettes when they dont smoke.

theres all kinds of ways to discover which alters come out when. Talk with your treatment people and they can help you discover who your alters are, when they come out and why.
Thanks for this!
