Multiple personalities is called Dissociative Identity Disorder, if I remember correctly. It used to be referred to as Multiple Personality Disorder. I dunno why they changed it. Maybe they felt that Dissociative Identity was a more accurate description. Rather than having multiple personalities, per se, the individual has multiple identities that are separate from each other, almost like a bunch of separate people in one body. Though, generally, only one identity is aware of the others. This identity is considered the dominant one. The ones unaware of the other identities tend to simply have gaps in their memory from the times the other identities took over.

Meh, I keep using plural, when some individuals only have two identities. Some can have more than that.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure people with DID don't have visual hallucinations of their other identities. If they do, I've never heard of such happening.
