To play is to lose the switch, to confuse play with reality, and instead of just playing and being in different states, to fix the new state firmly in place and begin to live in it, to begin to associate all of your main emotions with it. It's like a man playing a woman at a carnival for laughs, and then waking up in the morning as a transsexual and thinking of himself only as a woman, tormented by the fact that he has a male body. The only good thing about play is that we can go in and out of it, knowing clearly that we are not a role, that we are someone who can play different roles of our own choosing, choosing in the moment the one that opens up more possibilities.
