if you split yourself into two or more bodies, do You split your consciousness or just make a clone of yourself that you can control, or can you do either?

Well I've never experienced this but I can guess.
I've had a WILD where I was fully aware of my dream body and my physical body. It's a hard feeling to explain. It was like having full knowledge of two planes of existence while clearly being able to define which I was experiencing.
My advice is to just try this yourself.
I can't see why not, I think it'd be just an advaned version of playing a video game as two people on the same map or another example could be trying to have two different conversations with yourself at the same time. It would be hard, but with practice I think it would become easier
I've had a bunch of dreams (non lucid) where the whole dream, there were 2 people that were important to the story. During the dream, both of those characters had their own thoughts, opinions and views on things. Both had their own personality. Both were unaware of what the other one was thinking of. Both were me, yet split into two and unaware of the other one being me also. Waking up, I had both memories. I remembered what both were thinking of at which point in those dreams.
So in that sense, it should be achievable, but I would say that also difficult. All of these dreams by me have been non lucid, and started out this way, so I would not know how difficult
Damn that sounds crazy... Splitting into two consciousnesses? It's hard to imagine being yourself in two different places. I couldn't tell you what it's like but you've definitely inspired me to try it! Please post back if you have any success.
You can do either. But if you're going to split your consciousness, there will be a limit on how much each shard can be aware of. I had a dream where my split consciousness was in two areas. The main area was a full fledged world, but my second consciousness was sitting at a desk, and there was nothing beyond that desk, only darkness. It was like I didn't have enough processing power to create 2 full worlds. Both versions of me were working together to overcome an obstacle.
If you multiply yourself in the same area, it might not be as bad, but if your clones wander off into different areas, you're gonna have trouble sustaining their surroundings, which will likely lead to waking up.
