Not having been diagnosed with DID, my family (my father, mother, sisters, brothers, sister in law and niece) insist I am in need of - myself. Respectfully, I disagree but would like to explore if maybe I am wrong.

I dream often. I have reoccurring dreams that I have had my entire life. My dreams take place in similar settings and I am usually the hero or —. My family sometimes makes appearances, but usually are not there with me. Sometimes when I talk about my dreams, I fabricate parts that I don’t remember to try to make sense of them. I don’t talk about my dreams a lot. I don’t have nite mares, but sometimes life feels like a nightmare. No one wants me the way I am.

I have worked endlessly to fight those ‘nite mares’ with better thoughts because I think better thinking is contagious. I use imagery and have been working with a professionals to advance my meditation and mindfulness skills. I am not sure I ever dream to be anyone else, or dream in an altered state. I think it’s too complicated to really say.
