Possession is someone or something having control over the body of another. While is normally has a negative connotation, not all possessions have to be. While some Trill symbionts completely control the host body, most do not, and the Trill rite of zhian'tara allows for the past lives of the symbiont to possess a volunteer regardless of species. (TNG: "The Host", DS9: "Facets")
