I had some odd dreams this weekend that maybe you guys can help me with. Well, not necessarily the dreams (which you can find in my journal here) but some questions they raised.

Is it possible that my alters can have memories, things that affect them, not from my life? Some sort of abuse that I never recieved? Let me explain.

Background: Sarah is a little. She's maybe about 5 or 6 years old. Maybe older but not by much. Usually, she sits in a corner crying. I used to think that perhaps she holds onto some kind of pain. Maybe from when the kids at school were really mean. Or from when I got really badly hurt and had to get stitches without anything to numb me first. Stuff like that. Lately Sarah hasn't cried so much. She even came out briefly at a party I was at for my friend's son. She hit the pinata. She's been crying less ever since. I don't even wake up from them anymore.

Something told me last night that the dream I had wasn't really mine. That it was partially a dream and partially Sarah's memories. And perhaps the dream from the night before was too. Sarah never communicates. She doesn't talk to me or anyone else except maybe Joey (another little who just sits huddled under this table looking thing and occasionally will shout, "No" for no particular reason). Sometimes she'll cuddle with Cara (She's a tough adolecent who tends to only come out if she feels We're somehow threatened).
The dream was like a memory. One that was very painful and caused me to just cry. Nothing in the dream was from my own memories though (ie. nothing from my past). And both dreams I thought of Sarah. That they were her memories. Or perhaps a way for her to communicate something to me. Nonetheless they've left me very confused.
