body swap theme
A process by which the consciousness inhabiting one body is swapped with that inhabiting another body. Each consciousness thus ends up in another body than where it began. Normally only two bodies are involved but the theme does not preclude the possibility that there are three or more bodies that each end up with a different consciousness than it began with.
