Plural identity or plurality is a self-reported identity used by those who believe they experience multiple distinct consciousnesses, identities, or self-states. Various communities dedicated to plurality exist online, including sites for blogging or instant messaging. The plural subculture also includes some who practice tulpamancy as part of the identity. The related term "multiplicity" is used within clinical psychology and by some plural people to describe the experience of being multiple. In clinical research, multiplicity is typically associated with symptoms of mental illness such as dissociative identity disorder (DID) or identity disturbance. However, some members of plural communities reject the suggestion that their experiences are inherently disordered and may even report finding their identities and associated experiences to be soothing.
