An introduction to my Dreamway System
AP: Hi! I'm the host, and I'm Alyssa. I've realized i was plural for about two years now, but i've only come to terms with it for the past year. I don't post a lot about my system because i don't feel really valid, but i've listened to a lot of endos speaking over the year i've been here, and it's made me feel a lot safer to come out and speak! I want to say that I'm pro tulpa, pro endo, and pro traumagenic (not that any endo is anti traumagenic!! just that IM not!!) and I want to post more and talk about Alexandria and Oliver! If you have literally ANY questions, please don't hesitate to ask them.
A: I'm Alexandria, and I first formed a very long time ago. We can't pinpoint an exact time frame, but i'd say it started around 2017 when Alyssa was in a deep depression. She didn't notice it at the time, but she was heavily depressed, and turned to maladaptive daydreaming. I was one of the characters she daydreamed, and she found a lot of comfort through me! Over the years i was used for multiple different daydream worlds, and other para's were created. Non sentient ones. real para's, but i've always stayed the same. I was the common denominator. It was always me!!!!!!! A little about me: I can front if I really want to, and sometimes i do. Sometimes alyssa specifically asks me to front and deal with things, and sometimes i dont just because i can't handle it. Other times i front because it's fun to be in control. I still exist in daydreams, and i love playing out situations with Alyssa and Oliver. It's such a special bond we all hold together that i feel other people wouldn't get. I've helped Alyssa with a lot of things and sometimes it's harder to talk with other people because they just don't understand where i'm coming from. I like to help out whenever possible, but only when i can. I try my best, but just like Alyssa, I have my own struggles i deal with like autism and OCD. It doesn't help that Oliver doesn't fully get it, but the part that does help is that he's always supportive, even when he doesn't understand. I'm thankful he's there for me, and we started dating almost two years ago.
O: Hi. I'm Oliver. I was formed about two years ago, almost three now. I'm 27 and in the inner world, the paracosm, so to speak, i run things. I keep things working smoothly, and protect the people around me, specifically alexandria. She can be reckless sometimes, and it's nice to keep her in line. I'm half serious, half joking about that. There's not much i can do for Alyssa besides advising her on the right route of action, but i can't front the same way Alex can. Alyssa and Alex can talk a lot better than Alyssa and I can talk. I'm very closed off. Very reserved. I like being useful, and when i'm not useful, i feel my voice isn't necessary. I've helped write a book about our experiences in the Maladaptive Daydream world, which is just one of our many experiences together. We experience a sandbox paracosm which means we hop from realm to realm, all maintaining very similar storyline, and always us. Always us. And also Avery, my assistant. She's a very nice lady, and is friends with Alex, but she isn't sentient. She's just another para whom we love dearly. She's there for us when Alyssa is there for us, and needs her to be. It's very tricky business to work through my own business plans when Avery isn't around to help, but I always manage it with Alex.
