Polyconscious

undefined:

Polyconscious refers to a system (or subsystem, layer, etc.) with multiple consciousnesses. Members have their own individual consciousness, rather than sharing one together.

Experiences a polyconscious system may have:


 * Switching feels as though you are partly/fully leaving, and someone else is taking over, rather that feeling your own consciousness change.
 * Each system member feels as though they have a distinct, separate consciousness of their own.
 * Switching feels like the person in control changes, or ‘takes over the front,’ rather than the person in front simply 'becoming’ someone else.
 * During co-fronting, you may feel multiple consciousnesses “pushed together” in the front at once.
 * Headspace may or may not be easy to access.

This term is in contrast to monoconscious, which is where a system experiences only one, shared consciousness.

Split polyconscious systems have a similar style of consciousness, but experience a separation between front consciousness and headspace consciousness.
