I haven't seen mention of the worlds in a long time, everyone I have talked to about it have very plain areas for their alters, and just try to keep their alters happy in real time, well i say that is far too stressful and depressing and sometimes costly. For example i simple can't afford to get a 40 different pizzas made a certain way to comply with all my alters, solution focus on the world and add a pizza hut and currency.

Here is an exercise I did with my most beloved therapist.
Part one do this by yourself, or even with a loved one to help them understand.
1. Sit somewhere quiet where no one will bug you, and where there is no noise for about ten minutes or more, (depends on your schedule).

2. Take a nice deep breath and just sit there, look at a magazine, a book, maybe even the computer screen.

3. (If you need it) drink something hot or cold to relax you or heighten your senses to make this work for you.

(relaxation part may take several minutes or more or less, trust your alters will not harm you, and ask that any alters close to you keep the trouble some ones away)

4. play calming music if you like, MUST CLOSE YOUR EYES FOR THIS!!!

5. Imagine what your alters describe as the place they hang out in while waiting for a reason or opportunity to come to the surface.
- what does it look like? wait for a minute, if you can't see anything either your scared, worried, or you trust youll be fine and just need to relax a little more.
-what do you smell? food, rain, nature etc.
-what do you feel? pain, pleasure, calm etc.
-what is closest to you? an alter, a deceased or living family member an animal?
-If you are as relaxed as you can get and all you see is black ness then you need to create something for your alters, it can be scary for them to always be in the dark, and they can lash out and make your life hell,or your dreams depends on the alters

here is how you fix it or make it better depends on you
1. to create things you need to imagine and visualize things that are easy to picture.
EX: a deceased pet, a favorite house, grass, an old friend or even a lover.
2. got everything? imagine you are the god or goddess of this world, and move things to your liking with the help of your alters (not littles their cute but babies and kids really get in the way)
EX: don't like the tree in front of you? move it toward the ocean.
3. Ask your alters what they want to see and have.
4. move that around.
5. satisfactory? everyone in agreement? great move on.

!!!!!!!!!!!IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO DO!!!! VVVVVV

1. picture ALL your known alters one by one.
- color of hair
-height
-weight
-skin color
-gender
anything else they might have like maybe a tattoo, or birthmark that isn't on your body.
2. picture YOURSELF , everything from the DNA to the clothes your wearing, change it if you want.
3. add rooms for everyone, let them decorate, if they take on a certain job or role let them do that in this world.
4.give the world a name
5. add discipline
6. currency
add anything else you can think of.

Last part you have to do this too if your going to start at all.

1. say good bye to your alters, tell them to manage the world the right way, whatever you decide.
2. start slowly moving each body part to bring your body back to this world.

BEFORE OPENING YOUR EYES

say in your head, i feel my toes, my feet, my ankles....all the way to your head.

slowly open your eyes and feel around kind of to ground yourself and then stand up and your done.

well if you were unsuccessful for any reason, keep trying, its important to try living with your alters, no one should have to go away. if you do it let me know how it went.
