One of the most difficult issues to deal with for the majority of us inside is lost time. When you suddenly come to and have no idea what is going on, where you are, what "you" were just saying, etc. it is terrifying. However, what is even worse is when you have "amnesia of your amnesia." You don't know that you've missed anything until someone else brings something to your attention that you realize you have no recollection of doing, saying, ect. For instance, I (Kit) have more than once been told I watched a movie or show and upon watching it "again", found that I had no recollection of any detail of it, even when "I" supposedly watched it the other day. I've also realized that I had no recollection of places that "I" had supposedly been as short a time as five minutes before, but I had no inkling that I had missed anything. As the host, I seem to have the most troubles with lost time, but the others in the front have complained before of gaps in time and memory as well. This issues seems to be exacerbated by the sheer number of us inside (we are many) and the fact that those of us not in the front are often either afraid to be known or have less than honorable intentions(though are not a danger to anyone but us). Overall, lost time is one of those things that can be not only hard to deal with but hard to recognize when it's happened, which makes co-consciousness (simultaneous awareness between insiders) a very important thing for us.
