when I'm able to access the memories that someone else in the group has experiences (such as body history), sometimes I'll talk about the memories as if I was the one who experienced it, only for the purpose of not confusing a separate-bodied other I talking with..
other times, the memories can be so infused within my own that I'll have to stop and tell myself: "I know I didn't do these things, even if I have the memories of it"..
like, I wasn't a part of the group at all before '96, yet I can access the memories of before that time.. maybe it's because I front alot and being able to tap into those memories helps me deal with people while I'm here... could be..
now that I think about it, there are times when I do feel like I am another person.. in dreams.. there are times that I'll be able to dream what another is dreaming and it's as if I'm them and seeing things from their perspective.. but that's probably not what you mean.. :)
