#system switching

[tales-from-syscord]

Syscord made me think switching fast without confusion was normal.

I believe we switch fast, But thr confusion and hazy vision, and EVERYTHING ELSE. actually is booty ass cheeks

Every system is different, but it is rare to quickly switch without confusion, haziness, or bluriness.

Unique plural experience is not being able to swiiiitch i desperately need that. Anyone have suggestions of how to have possessive switches?/genq

That's actually tricky. Try visualization or imposition tricks?

Sync your body with the headmate who wants to switch with you? Slowly give them different limbs to work with. I think that might be a start.

Anyone else with suggestions?

wait this feels so odd i just caught a switch like i noticed it in real time bro this is so weird feeling this rarely happens with us what the

(we're in history class and we zoned out for a few seconds and before the zone out moment it was mimi but after/currently it's ze (a new one))

we just realized that... we dont really know why we track our switches...

our switches are pretty random and really dont correlate to anything [prolly besides emotions but those are random too dude >_<] so why do we go through the trouble?? like, we never even bother to look at our sp stats cuz it literally means nothing to us lmao.

cuz its always me in front with skull & kat in cocon and even when im not in front, its typically one of them instead [or anyone else.. again random]! the only vaguely good reason i think we have for logging it at this point is to see how long anyone else can keep me outta front tbh [its like a few mins to an hour typically :/ kill me :,,,( ]

i think we mainly do it cuz we started a long while ago with no real reason.. and weve just kept it up at this point :/ i dont think we're gunna stop anytime soon tho, despite the fact theres no actual reason. but ig its just habit now :/

🗯️ This might be very niche as I'm not sure other plurals experience consciousness the way we do, but have any other monoconscious + sleepconscious systems switched while dreaming?

Monoconscious as in: well read this post i made about it actually. The pluralpedia page confuses a lot of people. And sleepconscious as in: members temporarily fall unconscious while away from the front

But yeah it's so weird. It started out as my sysmates dream first, with his body, but as I started to switch in with him we blurred together. Pretty standard, but something I hadn't experienced before happened alongside this, given that we were in a dream this time

His body in the dream slowly started to look more and more like mine. Eventually after the switch was finished it became my body entirely, with my mind entirely, and therefore it was my dream instead of his

Because it was completely my dream then, the dream itself changed to better reflect that. Different people have different dreams, because we all have different thoughts and different subconscious workings. I think it's interesting that me taking his place in the dream changed the dream itself. I also think it was really interesting to watch the literal form our pov took changing with the switch. I'd never been able to see that happen in such a physical way before

i just felt like sharing this:

it’s different for everyone, but the way we switch is if its not a triggered switch, we suddenly feel really tired and start to dissociate (my body doesnt feel right and everything around me feels off or wrong in a way). then the current fronter will often ask judas whats going on and whos going in, if we cant tell, we get judas to front until we are sure its an alter that can front and be in a safe space.

we have pretty fluid switches, so the two alters that are switching out kinda blend together then suddenly the new fronter is all by themselves. we often are still really tired and dizzy for a bit, and also not functioning yet. like misspelling words, stuttering, tripping over air, not understanding tasks, etc. its kinda like immediately after you wake up ig?

we often have to ground ourselves by counting our fingers, doing the 5 senses thing, taking deep breaths before we can do anything. but yeah!

and for triggered switches:

for posititve: the alter will immediately go co-con, and will want to front bc they like said possitive trigger, and then yk the rest.

for negative: they will immediately go co-con, and either they can control not switching in or they cant and go in and will have to get judas to get them out so they can control themselves and not freak out

for rapid switching:

same symptoms at first, then usually we go really weak in the body (not limp, but very close to it. just kinda like we lose all ability to control the body but if needed can scooch or move so we arent in pain), and we just keep going limp over and over again until someone takes front. we are always dizzy and have a headache during rapid switching.

have a good day!! ty for reading :) -spencer + ran

idk if this happens to anyone else, but if you're polyconscious and the last fronter switched out and completely left front, do they/you get a feeling like your vision should be blacking out? and does it ever actually do that?

cuz link gets that, and has been getting that more recently. but it never actually happens and his eyes/presence [???] stay up at front. i think if it were to happen it would be like him blacking out maybe? and then he'd just wake up someplace else. thats just how it seems rn

and idk if that means he'll finally get to disappear for a little bit or whatever, but just wondering yknow?

[its not like were not polyconscious btw, if outta front for a bit/while, we'll all need a refresher or time to remember things we missed]

monoconscious varian (varies between how median we are) experiences are feeling like instead of "switching", we all have one big panel on sliders, and people's sliders go up and down depending on how present they are. That's the best way we've been able to explain it

Ohh we like this a bit!! It doesn't really apply to us as far as I can tell (we're more like a discord server, or stat pentagons in games, or lightbulbs), but yeah consciousness can get real complicated for some of us huh.

We're not sure of our consciousness type so it's kind of weird when talking about switching because we don't really get the whole many consciousnesses thing OR only one :') nobody explains clearly enough for us, and then add on the diversity in both...
