For the longest time, I was not aware of all of the parts I had inside. I too see DID as having one personality, broken into pieces.
Having other parts being aware of each other part is called being "co-conscious" or co-aware. Everyone who experiences DID experiences co-consciousness differently.
Some of my parts are aware of all the other parts, but some aren't. Most of my parts can communicate, but some either can't or won't communicate directly with certain parts and are only given messages by certain other parts. It can be a bit complicated and confusing even for those of us who are developing better understandings of our systems.
There are times when one part will be the dominant presence, and I will not be aware that I (we) are that part at the time. Sometimes I don't realize it at all, but most of the time I notice a signature behavior of the part and eventually come to realize who is "out".
It's different for everyone...and if I think about it too much, it just makes me want to fuhgettaboutit!!
