I once had a dream where I grew a second body out of my spine, then it separated and I was both. I saw what both pairs of eyes were seeing, and had independent motor control over both bodies. So I experienced that one in plural first-person, I guess, as an "us".
As I recall it, the major problem was trying to decide which would be the one to go to work, and which would stay home, and whether making the obvious choice was sexist or not. The bodies were not identical. And they could have an argument of sorts. I eventually sent the "wrong" one to work, and I was disappointed when no one noticed that I was a different me that day. I spent most of my day at work playing video games at home.
Even just remembering this one makes my head hurt. Our brains are definitely not designed for that kind of multitasking.
