![]() ![]() It should be noted that because internal worlds are not objectively real, some subjective experiences of them may not be as concrete as they feel. Alters may be perceived as having internal lives when not active in the outside world, and these inner lives may involve travel to other internal locations. Even more expansive internal worlds can result when highly imaginative or dissociative systems use their inner world to retreat from the outside world and so play out entire stories within their mind. Others might have small towns that may even be filled with static "NPCs" (taken from the roleplaying term "non-player characters") that can interact with alters but themselves are more similar to imaginary constructs than to actual alters or fragments. Some systems might have an entire house that is fully equipped with everything that the alters would feel that they need. Others might expand this living room to include doors to bedrooms for groups of or individual alters. A system with only a couple of alters might have an internal room in which alters that are internally active, awake, and aware might manifest. These internal worlds, which are also known as inner worlds or headspaces, can range in size and complexity. Many individuals with dissociative identity disorder (DID) have an internal world in which they or their alters can manifest as themselves and interact. ![]()
