Internal space

[spookshow-girl.livejournal.com]

I found an excerpt from this book on the idea of "internal space". So it would seem it's not nearly as unheard of as people would like to imply.

Patients may report an internal architecture inhabited by alternate personalities, as in the following example:

All of the parts inside of me have rooms. Every room is different. My room is at the far end and there's more space between my door and the door next to me. Diana's room has walls made out of mahogany. She has three big huge windows and she looks out onto a garden. Um. Julia's room has bunk beds in it and a rug on the floor and teddy bears and dolls and stuff like that in it. Every room is different. (SCID-D Interview, unpublished transcript)

We've had to create a galaxy map with various sectors and solar systems just to try and keep track of things. The solar system maps contain planet and moon names along with the name of the stars they revolve around. Some even have the names of the capital cities on the capital world within each system. Other space objects like nebula, binary star systems, gates, nurseries, tunnels, splits, holes, et cetera, are listed as well. We even have some roaming planets that don't belong to any solar systems, and living beings the size of small planets that get mistaken as such in sensors. That can be funny.
