Switch, the Definition MPD DID

Switch- to transfer consciousness and control of the physical body from one alter personality to another; the process of switching can happen in a split second, or over a period of minutes; a Multiple may switch several or dozens of time in any given day, or go for days or weeks without switching at all; the Personality that is Out, before switching, may: feel dizzy, a sudden headache, the sensation of sinking, get drowsy and sluggish, feel sleepy, or feel nothing at all.
The Personality that is emerging may feel: like they suddenly awoke from a nap or long slumber, confusion and disorientation as to time, place and/ or identity; a rush of adrenaline or that the environment is too bright and loud.
Physically, a Multiple may or may not display any signs that a Switch has taken place as Switching was a defensive tactic and covert. Some Multiples may have a change in eye movement: rapid blinking, dramatically less blinking, eyes may appear glazed over and vacant, or there may be a shift in focal point.
There may be changes in the Multiple's physical body; a change of facial expression, posture shift, softening or hardening of facial features; breathing changes from slow to rapid or vice versa; noticeable change in voice; new gesturing or gestures.
The topic being discussed may rapidly change or have been completely forgotten.
