Using myself as an example, I feel like I'm a floating conscience under direct influence of the up front personality. My thoughts are their thoughts, I'm them, they're me. It's like one stream of sequential thought with many different colors and views and different paths are opened. We are connected telepathically? We all watch and jump in as if on cue as required? I don't know who or what this "conscience" is because it has so many different voices.
If I wasn't aware, I can see where we'd be different. Central self? I don't know what that is. We can spin off in any different direction, whoever wants to take the lead and the rest of us following in elected support. We just live for the moment.
There isn't any missing time, maybe 5% of the time. Just shattered memories.
I wish I was just psychotic. So much easier.

I know what you mean about everyone in your system just knows what the others are thinking and stuff. here where I am (your term telepathy) is called co consciousness isnt referred to as telepathy/paranormal (ie telepathy/reading minds and other paranormal activities)
here where I am co consciousness is things like hearing the alters voices as they talk with you or each other, its sharing memories ie an alter telling you what they remember or knowing what happened...
example before I was integrated I would hear voices non stop of my alters talking. sometimes it would be so loud and fast I would only catch a word or two. Rainy would be saying I want my blanket while trixie would be saying gosh that guy is a hunk while thelma would be saying forget the guy look at that babe with the snazzy top and Sunny would be saying yes the sunis out lets go to the beach thelma bet you will find something interesting there....All the while I the aware self would be trying to talk with someone at work about work related things...
another example of co consciousness here where I live is my saying something like wow that person looks familiar where do I know them from and Sunny telling me using her voice... thats megan from the BBQ that we went to last week and Sunny suddenly showing me in memory images (just like normal people have memory images when they remember something) of the BBQ we went to. (some people call this reliving of memory images ...having flashbacks which can be about good or bad memories)
