Thread: is their a possible link between DCs and DID/MPD?

There could be some dissociation for the sake of clearing a few mental clogs here and there when you have non-lucid dreams, but to categorize it with DID/MPD, probably improbable.

One aspect of a greater term I'm trying to get at here is that with DID/MPD, there has to be a sense of memory impairment (blacking out and not remembering what the other side(s) of your isolated and derived personality did, if in presumptive terms, DID/MPD is proven to be a likely coping mechanism).

If that's a mechanism researchers are going by, then maybe all of us have MPD/DID.

I mean, there's so much a person can recall in their dreams, and to apply that one waking up, being distracted, thus making dream recall more difficult, there's just so many things that have to be considered.

Dream Characters are essentially an aspect of us as a whole, but I wouldn't go too far to say that they have the potential to be completely isolated from your mind, since the whole non-lucid/lucid dreaming experience is in your mind. If it were to happen, you'd get a feel that some kind of other being or force has entered your mind, and that would lead to more speculation.

I saw the part related to amnesia and how it can relate to MPD/DID and NREM and REM sleep, but using it as a crutch to further the possibility of DCs being a link with DID/MPD, it's kind of an iffy.

I say that because there's all sorts of factors to be considered:

• The person's dream recall
• How the brain can only conceptualize thought forms in this reality
• How the brain uses that same limit to define things beyond the scope of the reality it focuses on
• How thought energy, even in non-lucids, can make expectations more likely

At most, it could lead to a better understanding of collective unconscious, and how we have the potential to utilize many aspects of ourselves (aspects of our personality that essentially is "forgotten" in our unconscious, and beyond to conform to a situation in waking life.

Oh, and Freud, boy, was he crazy about the unconscious. It seems that using his name and his ideologies with the unconscious is a trend with research like this.

Freud has made some significant impacts related to Psychology, and even Sociology, but it's his framework that is key for social scientists be inspired to develop their own for creative speculation.

The content within that framework, however, that he formulated before, in today's terms, it would be rubbish, at least in:

(Oedipal/Electra Complex)
(Unconscious)

But I honestly believe it's just getting their feet in the waters of comprehending alters, having opposites, etc. instead of seeing it as a potential for understanding collective unconscious within and beyond.

This is interesting though, especially with the dream character model, and how the alters exhibited in the dream could be the source of suicidal thoughts and gestures.

But again, with the sporadic, vague, subjective, and vast nature of the unconscious, and it being unfathomable in one sitting....who knows? Maybe DCs could be a link to MPD/DID...but it probably needs to be updated...extensively in this day and age.


But that's just me.
