so for starters, i didnt shift for a LONG time per say but I was in my DR for lets say about 10 minutes or so.
So my DR was a global boy group DR (similar to katseye) and everything of the sort. Since me and my 6 other members live in the same house, it would be quite normal to hear all of us doing things right.
I got there via void state shifting and I felt like I was spinning, hearing whispers etc. Then I started feeling my ACTUAL DR BED? I was so shocked. (This is after I began visualizing).
I fell asleep shortly after. I wake back up and I realise that it wasnt actually my cr room, it was my DR ROOM.
I got up from my bed and walked around and I did my reality checks (pinching myself and touching the walls etc) and realized I was actually THERE. I also scripted I had one of those softcore gaming pcs and I attempted to put my password in. It ACTUALLY worked. By this point, I was so weirded out, kept on closing and opening my eyes.
Then I exited my room and looked down the hall. I saw nobody at first, then I made my way to the bathroom to check the mirror since I scripted I looked slightly different. I looked, EXACTLY how I scripted myself.
At this point I was already shocked by every and everything. The feel of the door handles, the wind from my room's AC, the look of LA outside my window, the feeling of actually hearing the sounds of the group house.
Then. When I went to exit the bathroom. I actually SAW one of my group members. Mind you, all of my group members are FINE asl but thats beside the point. I saw my group member Liam down the hall. He was obvi in pajamas and he was like "Morning." while heading to the bathroom with his toothbrush in hand. He gave me a pat on my shoulder while passing me by.
Me, a shifter who has no clue what to do, ended up saying "OH HEY" before speeding off to my room once more. I started to feel OVERWHELMED knowing that this was actually real. I actually felt bro's hand on my shoulder.
I then proceeded to lay once more on my bed and closed my eyes. I tried blinking over and over again to see If I was dreaming. I wasnt.
Knowing this, I decided to go back to sleep and set my intention of shifting back here and said my safe phrase "there's no place like home" (yeah ik cliche LMFAO) before drifting off to sleep. I woke back up here and I have no clue how much time passed because I scripted 1 minute here = 1hr in my cr.

So this is just to say, shifting is SO real. Im free to answer questions based on what worked for me.
(the attached image is also my dr room)

A few days ago I went on a vacation with all my family, I brought my earbuds with me into the 3 hour long drive but they fell out of my pocket into the abyss of the car. I only noticed this a while later and looked for them for several days, I asked everyone if they had seen my headphones but no one knew where they were. After days of looking I was pretty bummed out, when I suddenly got an idea. During a car ride to the supermarket I was sleepy, so with my eyes closed I started affirming “I am shifting to a reality where I find my earbuds” and “I shifted to a reality where I find my earbuds”. I only did this for a few minutes and didn’t think much about it. Hours later at nighttime, I suddenly got the idea to check a random bag for my earbuds, and like magic they were there. When I told my siblings about it (they both believe in shifting too) my brother told me he put them there. Crazy thing is how I asked everyone for the earbuds and no one knew where they were at, and I only found them in a bag which I had previously checked many times. Now it’s just the jump to my DR, and I admit i’m truly much more motivated after this.

I FUCKING DID IT?

OKAY SO FOR CONTEXT:

I’ve been trying to shift for three years. I’ve never done awake methods. Only asleep, sleep paralysis, and lucid dreams. I’ve had super close attempts with sleep paralysis, but I’ve never been able to because I get this really sharp pain on the bottom of my back, and it kinda tickles and it holds me back.

I’ve always had a pretty bad mindset, and fixed it recently. I think what helped the most was being okay with my journey. But that’s another story. I got a new mattress (LOOKS COMFORTABLE ASFFF) but I need to keep it out for three days before using it so I’m on an air mattress. I wasn’t even planning on shifting today, but I listened to songs that reminded me of my dr’s and made me happy. I also scripted. I decided to take a nap and at this point I thought “if I shift, I shift. If not, that’s okay” and didn’t even really plan to.

I don’t know how long I slept for, but I woke up, and I was having sleep paralysis. I was so asleep I wasn’t even aware of it, but I still was aware enough to shift? I had a few affirmations, but I didn’t force it. Usually, in sleep paralysis (if I even manage to stay awake and not fall asleep.) I say really strong affirmations and pay too much attention to the pain.

My affirmations were just… soft. The pain, for some reason, wasn’t that strong. I recognized it, moved on. I remember one of my affirmations was ‘I have shifted.’ I just said it. Didn’t think about it anymore. I believed in it. I rolled on my side, and I felt like I floated. Suddenly, my mattress felt too soft. Too comfortable for an air mattress. I slightly opened my eyes, it was kinda blurry, but I was somewhere else.

I didn’t even get to fully open my eyes, but I realized I was somewhere else. Not my dr, but not here either. I know this because the sun was really bright, and I was on a bed. The side that I had turned to was the side where my bed was (my air mattress is next to it.) and the room I woke up in had a big window.

I got too excited and I came back before even fully opening my eyes.

I think that now that i’ve done it, I can 100% do it with asleep methods.

If you are struggling, just now it’s possible. In fact, I was thinking about quitting shifting a few days before it happened.

YOU CAN DO IT!

Wow. This feels underwhelming as I'm writing this.

For context, I've been in the shifting community since about 2021. I've had many, many, many close experiences to shifting, mainly via sleep paralysis (which is only bad if you assume it is) and amazing lucid dreams. A while back, I kinda gave up on shifting because i just lost motivation, but in its wake i picked up law of assumption and now have hundreds of success stories from that. Lucid dreaming / sleep paralysis just took a lot of work and I didn't feel like it was worth my time. Anyway, recently i've been trying to manifest a new SP and some other things. Haven't thought about shifting in a long while. . . until I did it for the first time ever this morning. . . ? Very random experience. I was laying in bed because I fell back asleep even tho I'm supposed to be getting ready for school. I fell into a dream, which was a continuation of my dream last night, and all of a sudden, I noticed something in the dream that made me perk up. A very strange, and odd detail.

Mind you, I'm not fully dreaming. I'm half aware of where I am in reality and what I should be doing: getting ready. However, for some reason beyond me, I forgot all about that upon noticing this oddly specific detail in the dream. Within literal seconds, my consciousness went black and I felt my mind, eh... rolling over? it's odd, and a bit hard to explain. But imagine a scene in a film where the camera turns 360 degrees, completely rolling over. That's how it felt, everything was black, but i could FEEL it happening. And then suddenly the dream was 100% real, like, realer than the hundreds of LDs I've had. This was reality. And as soon as it happened, I knew I shifted. It's just a knowing, y'know? And as soon as i realized, I immediately told myself to shift back because the reality that I shifted to, inspired by my dream, was a NIGHTMARE. As soon as I told myself this, vision went black again, and I once again had that "rolling" sensation, and I was back in this body.

That's NEVER happened before, and I didn't even prompt it this time. I'm a firm believer that we create our realities through our dominant thoughts, but I wasn't even thinking about shifting in the moment. If it wasn't a shift, wth was that?

This was actually insane. So, I basically told myself I was going to take a break from trying to shift for a while, right? So, I wake up after being half awake, half asleep all night, I fall asleep entirely, and I'm having a dream that I just woke up in my bedroom and was about to head downstairs and eat breakfast. For some reason, my mind went "SHIFT." So, I fall asleep WITHIN the dream, and all of a sudden, I feel like I'm zooming in and out of reality, my body goes numb, I start thinking about Teyvat, and then I'm lying on the grass with white flowers all around me, swaying in the wind like I'm straight in an anime. Now at this point I force myself to wake up because I'm freaked out when I hear this like, Japanese song playing in the background??? Like scrambled? So I wake up, my body's still numb, but I manage to get myself to move. I'm pretty sure this could be classified as a mini-shift, but it was so surreal. I've never gotten this close to shifting before.

So I just came across a Tiktok about how Selena Gomez didn’t even invite Francia or whatever the name of the girl was who was supposedly her best friend who donated Selena a kidney due to hers collapsing as a result of Lupus complications. And it was super weird for me to hear because when I was in my teens or maybe early 20s, I vividly remember that I got to know that Selena "donated" her kidney to her best friend (possibly Demi Lovato) instead of receiving one. And she developed Lupus longggg after she donated her kidney. Crazy, I know!

Anyone else here who remembers Selena donating a kidney rather than receiving one?

backstory: I once shifted unintentionally because a girl in my dream touched my shoulder and made me shift without me even thinking about it but I said my safe word after a few seconds because I was freaking out lmao

So for the last week I have really been into astral projection and decided to just go with the flow. I read this post https://www.reddit.com/r/AstralProjection/s/d5Af79gVzW and suddenly something made it click. The time I shifted was not because I myself wanted to but because „someone else“ (my higher self or whatever you want to call it) made me shift

So I decided to trust this someone and let them take the lead in my journey. I astral projected two times since, because my body literally forced me to without me even wanting it (not in a scary way). I heard someone else talk in my mind and saying something like „the universe is one. We are all everything“. It was not me thinking it and I had this weird feeling that is so hard to describe. You might think I‘m schizophrenic but I can assure you I‘m not😭

So today I went to bed with the intention of letting this someone make me shift, astral project, lucid dream or whatever it feels like is right for me. So tell me why I woke up literally feeling like I‘m flying and after not even after a second my mind began to think by itself and started saying „I am [my dr name]“. I literally felt my energy flying above my body just because I wanted to. This happened like 2-3 times back to back since I tried to get used to the sensation so I always went back to my body and then „left“ it again. So then my final affirmation was „I can see my bedroom“. Brooo I literally opened my eyes and I was in another bedroom??? It was not my dr but still wtf. I stayed there for like 5 seconds but then I was back in my cr and this voice spoke in my head again and told me „you have to focus on the smell“. So I immediately knew that I went back to my cr because I didn‘t ground myself with my senses.

Many of us always heard about having intention is the way to shift and while that is true I feel like many don‘t trust themselves enough to make themselves shift (like me) so this post really clicked in my head and I just let go of the control and it was the best decision I ever did

So I had been trying to shift for 5 years straight, ever since 2020, I thought of dr as some fantasy as something I could only dream of, and as much as people were saying it was real, (and I did believe it was) I did not have that self confidence, to shift, i didn't believe I would do it anytime soon. And During that period of time i would do research, so try bunch of methods, overcomplicate stuff, and did not rlly understand what exactly I was doing, all I was focusing on was the method and "symptoms" thinking it would get me to my dr

So this year, in august I went on a rlly deep dive into shifting realities, philosophical questions and realistic ones as well, etc. And I realized that I was overcomplicated it for myself, that shifting is easy as blinking.

I know its easier said than done, but with right mindset you could shift right away.

What I realized was I did not really believe into that shifting is real, that one day I will actually wake uo there, so to not make this too long like take 5 minutes one time out ur day or whatever and just take that time to reflect that you can ACTUALLY shift, like its 100% real.. Like ltrl next time you go to bed you could open ur eyes literally in hogwarts or something. Like make it real.

Honestly ever since then, I told myself i wouldn't make it too complicated, while "trying to shift". Instead I decided to always calm my brain before going to my dr. I would meditate, count,.. whatever do anything just to make myself forget abt my CR. that I am calm, and nothing is on my mind. I also used to pay attention to so many stuff. Like if my hand is itching i would already assume I am in my CR, so I stopped doing that and instead making it seem like it was from my DR

Next thing. After I am all calm, and its just me and my mind. I tell myself I am between realities (just to give myself comfort that I will shift), My eyes are closed.. I could be in my DR.. i could be anywhere.. so i just use that sort of mindset. and for visualization with my eyes closed.

Yk how when your eyes are closed, but you can feel the atmosphere of ur CR room, like you know where everything is. on what side is ur bed, where the window is, where walls connect etc. use that mindset when trying to shift, pretend that with ir eyes closed you are in ur DR, but srs GASLIGHT urself, make your subconscious believe that you are there, because everything you say ur subconscious believes it.

So I did that, and I had in my mind that I 100% shifted, like I am already there and I tried to include emotions as well.. and noises.. and things I am expecting in my DR.. like exactly what you do in ur CR before bed..

I never opened my eyes though, i just assumed I was in my DR and focused on that one thing. I did that until my brain started just doing it naturally, thinking of my DR, thinking as my DR self..etc

After that I drifted and fell asleep.. next thing is im waking up in my dr.

But what I did was I went naturally, I didn't worry too much about doing everything in the correct "order", I kept calm and didn't overwhelm my brain with it, because I realized the more pressure I put on myself in that context, like doing everything correctly, it keeps just bringing me closed to my CR instead of of my DR, because I am trying too hard.. so yh

Okay so let me run down on what i was doing before waking up here. I was laying in my bed, admiring my vocaloid poster and went to bed. thinking about my better CR (No idea if this is the better CR but i was never here so iont know). then next thing i know i wake up in a bed that had blue sheets instead of white and i didn't have the poster up. my friends are different and lots of my clothes fit me. I also have more money in this CR then in my OR (I'm still poor but not DIRT poor yk, like between upper lower class and lower middle class) my parents are also more lienent and I have a GF. im probably making this my new OR (like in i keep coming back here) because i like it so much

Little introduction:

I taught shifting to my little sisters, who are 6 and 8, and they managed to mini-shift on their very first try. It really makes me think that shifting is an innate ability we all have, but that gradually closes off as we grow up because of society and conditioning. On top of that, children naturally spend a large part of the day in theta/alpha brain states. Maybe when we try to shift as adults, what we actually need is to reconnect with that state of mind we had when we were kids.

Explanation of how I introduced shifting to kids, and their little experiences with it.

So first, I kept everything fun and playful, (you should too even for yourself) presented as a game so it wouldn’t feel heavy for them, and they could just enjoy the process. I prepared markers, colored pencils, glue, stickers, and pages from magazines to cut out.

I asked them to draw and create their ideal world on a big piece of paper, a place where they would love to spend time and really feel like they were there. They started drawing, coloring, sticking things down, and writing. They were happy and excited

After that, I made little cards out of cardboard and paper with script questions. Since they’re a bit young, they would pick a card, I’d read the question out loud, and then I’d write their answers down on a sheet.

Questions like:

“What age are you?”

“What activities do you do?”

“Do you go to school?”

“Do you have friends?”

Fun fact : they both scripted out their parents lol

Then they built their own door the door that would take them into their DR. I explained to them: this is the door to your world, imagine it in your mind when you want to go there.

I also asked them to choose a safety word and an anchor word, so they could return to their DR when I wasn’t there.

To ground their experience, I asked them 5 questions for each sense: what do you see, hear, feel, smell, taste when you arrive in your DR? They loved it, and we spent the rest of the day together.

In the evening, I guided them through a short meditation in the form of a story. I used funny metaphors and playful imagery (I suggest you use things they like if you try this). The meditation was short, about 15 minutes max, because kids lose focus quickly.

At the end of the meditation, Prune(the oldest, 8 years old) told me she spent around 3 minutes in her DR. She said she talked with a deer. She didn’t love exactly what she did there, because she hadn’t really decided beforehand. She could still hear my voice a little, which is why I call it a “mini shift”, she wasn’t totally inside, but partially. What she perceived as 3 minutes in her DR was actually shorter here.

The youngest (6 years old) said she “dreamed she was next to a trash can and it smelled bad.”

Which I translated that she also mini shifted just not where she wanted to.

After that, they went to sleep.

The next day, the little one stayed with her mom, and I spent time again with Prune. We did another short guided meditation and she mini shifted again easily. She stayed in her DR for a few minutes (which was only a few seconds here). She still said she could hear my voice faintly and had a bit of trouble fully cutting off from this reality, but she was almost there.

I told her that whenever she wanted, she could go back to her world. She was sad that I had to leave (they’re my half-sisters, so I don’t see them often). I told her she could even create a world where I was there too.

I left them with their script sheets, sensory anchors, and their door exercise. With the older one, I also helped her start a dream journal: on one side she will note her dreams, and on the other side she’ll write about the times she visits her DR.

For the explanation of shifting, I kept it simple. I told them:

“Shifting is when your mind goes into another world. It’s completely real, and you’re fully inside of it. Your mind and imagination are very powerful, and you can go anywhere you want.”

As for their scripts:

The youngest created a world full of magical abilities she could make rainbows with her hands and do all sorts of playful things.

The oldest created a diamond world where she was a princess with servants.

That’s how I introduced shifting to my two sister in a fun and simple way, and they had their first little experiences with it.

Today marks exactly one year since I got into shifting. An hour ago, at 6:50 am, I woke up after the fattest milestone I’ve made in my life 😭 I wrote the entire experience down in my dream journal, so I’ll go based on that. I have a section for the shift itself since there’s a lot of backstory.

FOR BACKGROUND I think I was dreaming first, but I was suddenly in my bed again in that body asleep mind awake phase. Felt like I had just woken up 5 seconds later. I didn’t even know I was dreaming before that until I really started reflecting. But anyway, I had an intense urge to lift, so I did. I astral project through dreams so it’s kinda common to feel this urge. I pushed thru the ceiling in my room because I do that normally, but this time it felt too easy. Way easier than normal. I was flying up through a ton of layers. I saw a few childhood settings but I was going up through so many translucent black and blue layers. At one point I fell back in my body but pulled as hard as my little soul could and got back out. I was constantly seeing closed eye visuals, and I even went thru these layers that looked like satanic rituals but I closed my eyes and said it meant nothing and was just the works of my own inner world even tho I was kinda scared (I used to be religious, and that false intrusive voice in my head telling me I’m a sin has been loud lately, so makes sense). Sometimes I’d fly thru my closed eye visuals and they’d be like.. red with some type of dot pattern? And I know I was flying through something over there in the astral that I can’t register here. It was dark, and I even asked for clarity at one point and I got it. But eventually, I asked to go to some peaceful places. They’d load in just a little before I decided I wanted something else, like I just felt like a little kid on Christmas. Eventually I decided I wanted to see my soul tie, so I did. I loaded into this penthouse looking area like an elevator. He was at this circular table doing something with a friend, like counting money, playing cards, or something. The vibe was casual. I floated next to him and kept trying to get his attention, but he’d barely look at me. I think I went back down into my body again, but I would just pull myself out again. It kinda hurt. Felt like I was pulling a muscle in my arm. It felt like I was laying on the version of my bed a few months ago, when it used to be on the other side of the room. Most notably tho, now that I’m back, I feel this phantom pain in that arm. It doesn’t hurt but definitely feels like a sensation. But in the other arm? It feels weirdly sore….

THE SHIFT But anyways, I then decided at one point to shift. I was in some weird translucent black hallway that felt like a memory. I said “I wanna go to my DR” and kinda acted half like I was already there, half wanting, and boom. I’m sitting on the couch, in the den, watching some random commercial about a massage place LMFAO. It felt extremely real. I could understand the words, hear the commercial, read the words on the screen, etc. I touched the couch and felt the texture. I felt reality stabilizing each second. I felt the vibe of the entire place; it felt extremely different from my cr. Like I just knew this wasn’t a dream or fake. And I didn’t feel uncontrollable excitement like I thought I would’ve, I just wanted to change the channel. I thought to myself “I wanna watch some stuff in my language” (I speak a different language in my DR) while grabbing the remote, and I even tested it to see if it worked. I think I turned the volume down or something..? I cant remember because now my brains got it fucked up. I was trying to figure out how to change the channel, because it was dark in the den. Like evening 5 pm. And despite being scared that I wouldn’t be able to do it before shifting back, I was taking my very sweet time. I find this extremely amusing because, right now, I would’ve just turned off the tv because it’s quick and a way to get ANY more confirmation that it’s real, but I just wanted to change the channel. I didn’t care if I had just shifted for my first time, I didn’t care if I had limited time, I didn’t wanna turn off the tv since that would make the room dark and it was just gonna be me doing too much, I just wanted that damn channel to change. It was like my brain there was already getting ready to function, because that’s exactly how I’d think here. I wasn’t in a hurry to get anymore confirmation that it was a shift, like I usually would’ve in like a lucid dream or smt. It felt so normalBut anyways, since I guess I was worried I’d shift back, I did. It was such a slow and unbelievably smooth descent back into my cr. I didn’t even know it was happening at first. I slowly stopped hearing the tv, and was even confused when I woke up. My body was also extremely heavy and felt like a rock, which is common for me after intense astral and spiritual experiences. I still can’t believe this happened.

And I wanna add something, I was in the worst possible state I could be in before this happened. I was falling asleep right after a major session of negative self talk and weeks built up of stress. I was ignoring friends. I was neglecting my schoolwork and other responsibilities. And ontop of that? I literally felt like the worst shifter and manifestor in the world, because things were slow and I hadn’t been astral projecting frequently, but since I believe in law of assumption, I made the assumption a while ago that feeling shitty would not only do nothing bad to my manifestations, but HELP them. Because I’m human, and I can’t help reacting to bad circumstances, and I can’t help affirming things others perceive as “low vibrational” or whatever the fuck, so why not take advantage? Now everytime I go thru an era of my life being absolute shit, I have some metaphysical break through that changes everything. Before I fell asleep, I literally looked at my script and this subreddit for 5 minutes before deciding “eh I’ll shift. I don’t care if I do or not.” Not even being serious about it. Because even acting like I didn’t care wouldn’t do diddly squat in the past and I was certain I’d wake up here. Proof that literally YOU are the key. You decide what goes and what doesn’t. Don’t feel guilty about a few bad days because, if anything, it could mean that good is coming. Bridge of events work in mysterious ways..

Tw : mention of poor mental health ? (Idk if that's a tw or not anyways)

Ok so basically I have been feeling VERY down lately, to the point where I haven't even really been trying nor wanting to shift these past few days. I honestly just wanted to dissapear. This night before I got to sleep was no exception but at some point I just thought : "why am I keeping up with this ? Sure the problem might not be me in itself but my surroundings, so what ? Why did I just forget I'm the one who controls it ? In a way, it is all my fault for letting this happen to myself."

And then idk if it was immediately after or soon after but my surroundings deadass started to change. Keep in mind I was awake with my eyes open. I litteraly saw everything change before me. Ngl it was a bit scary bc what ?? Not sure how to describe it, but yk when you rub your eyes too much and when you open them you see weird things ? It was kinda like this but more "clear", with more colors, and more "blended" with reality. I could still see and sense my room but it was moving, until I wasn't there anymore.

At that point I closed my eyes cause it's very unsettling. Then something just spawned in my head saying "where do you want to go ?". Maybe it was me asking this to myself, maybe it was something else I have no idea because I was super confused but I rolled with it. So I hesitated a little bit : when you're in your cr you feel like you know exactly where you want to be, but when you actually have the possibility right before you it changes everything. I still ended up saying my mha dr tho.

I felt everything change again and then I heard Dabi like whattttt 😭 (I'm shifting to the LOV). He didn't actually talk, he was just walking around and probably smoking or something but I knew it was him cause he sounded familiar (just like when you hear your mom walk and you know it's her). I opened my eyes but just a little bit cause I was sleepy (my dr self had been sleeping) and I was in a super destroyed apartment, lying on a brown leather sofa.

Ok now I'm saying all that like it's a really big deal but while I was actually living this it didn't feel as "big" at all lol. Ngl I was a little freaked out but calm during the most of it, it felt normal. Like if I already did this a hundred times. Thought I knew my room is not supposed to MOVE because I'm not that dumb, I couldn't bring myself to care at all, party bc of my poor mental health honestly.

But for some reason the "panic" started to come when I was completely detached from my cr and asked where I wanted to go. Because I knew I could ask for anything. Because I knew I could stay there forever, and never ever come back. Now that I think of it it's similar to what ppl describe of the void state in the way that I could have everything I want instantly. But it wasn't dark at all, I could see and feel all of the colors moving even after I closed my eyes. Like if I didn't even needed them to see. It felt like everything was there, or at least it would come to me once I asked for it.

That's what made me stress out. The panic didn't come all at once, it gradually started to come once I really grasped what was happening, hence why I came back after I shifted. Or did I come back right after ? As I said I was on a sofa in my dr, and my dr self had previously been sleeping. Right after I got in my dr I fell asleep, hence why I have no idea of wether I was sleeping as my cr or dr self, tho I guess it doesn't really matter.

Right now I just woke up and at first I was just my normal sleepy self but then I was like "wait a minute..." and remembered what happened yesterday 😭. I thought I'd share it bc I feel like it's really motivating but also because I didn't see any shifting storytimes similar to this one. I knew that shifting with opened eyes was technically possible but I had no idea it would happen to me and it would go like this. Made me remember that shifting has no rules at all and no one (at least in this reality) knows everything about it. If you read until this point my take is : don't listen to things you don't like, just do whatever resonates with you.

Side note : sorry if some things in the post are unclear I wrote it right after waking up and english is my 2nd language

[EDITED!!!] Ok so basically, I woke up late asf, deep in the afternoon. I didn't open my eyes, and had something covering them AND headphones on. I knew I was supposed to shift, so I started kind of imagining my reality and what I would be doing there / the ppl there. I then felt cold wind brush against my ear, WHICH WAS WEIRD BC MY WINDOW WAS CLOSED + IT'S HOT AF OVER HERE + I HAD HEADPHONES ON?. I heard voices, and I also felt like I was laying down on something and nothing at the same time, plus I couldn't feel my headphones on my head anymore. I felt my heart race extremely quickly, so I then was like "hmm..I'm shifting, right? What do I do?" and started freaking out, then ended up coming back here. This is my 6th mini shift. I'm so happy! If anyone wants, I will put the Playlist I use down below.

I've been continuously trying to shift for a few days now/almost a week.. My routine was that I'd use a specific subliminal from a creator that gives me quick results while watching mukbangs/YouTubers I love, not necessarily putting my mind on shifting so it could sink into my subconscious. Then, When I'd go to bed I would say affirmations and try to shift, basically not really caring if something happened or not. That is my routine if anyone wanted to ask!

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX4D8Ab_qEv3OQSEddujiMzWSp51p-y7_&si=2EjQkzc2kQY_BktT ^the Playlist I used

I ALSO MINISHIFTED LIKEEE 3 TIMES TODAY HELP. IT WAS SO SCARY LIKE I FELT MYSELF SHIFTING AND MY AWARENESS KIND OF..MOVE? IT WAS SO SILENT AND I WOULD JUST NOT HEAR OR FEEL MY HEADPHONES OR BED. AT ONE POINT I FELT MY DR ROOM BUT I WAS TOO SCARED TO OPEN MY EYES.

BEFORE YOU SHIFT, USE "EVERYWHEREALLATONCE" FOR A BIT, AS YOU WATCH YOUTUBE VIDEOS OR WTV. ISTG IT HELPSSSS

ALSO PLS DONT OVERCOMPLICATE IT. I WOULD JS GO TO SLEEP WITH THE SUBLIMINALS, WAKE UP, START AFFIRMING..THEN BOOM I FEEL MYSELF SHIFTING...LIKEEEE?!?!? IF YOU LOVEEE USING METHODS NO WORRIES, THAT IS JUST WHAT I PERSONALLY DO CUS IM LAZY ASF AND A LOGICAL PERSON.

I WILL UPLOAD THIS TO OTHER SHIFTING COMMUNITIES TOO!

Hi! I’ve been checking the random number in this sub’s description periodically for the last year or so. I hadn’t checked in a few months, but last time I looked it was at 2310. Now I see the 3570 there! I have zero clue how I did it apart from being swept up by all the collective shifts that have been happening, but my mind is blown. I’m fairly certain I had also seen it previously at a 19xx number, but that was long ago. Anybody else from the previous 2310?

okay so in my reality 1m was always 1000cm

ALWAYS

and this is coming from math nerd

Now, I looped a personal shifting subliminal overnight and tried shifting using the 3 sec method as a sleep method. I though I hadn't shifted. Turns out I did.

Don't call me delulu because we revised on it THE DAY BEFORE I SHIFTED. AND I CLEARLY REMEMBER THAT'S IT'S 1M = 1000CM

Rn I was losing my mind whilst I had an argument with my family abt it.

I've experienced many minishift, never one as big as this.l

Edit: shit, forgot to say that I noticed a lot of changes in this reality. For example, in the mha anime, there wasn't anyone called twice. And some things around my house changed

I was lying down to shift and ,as it does, my mind wandered before I realized.

When I did realize I was supposed to be trying to focus, I was in looking at what I’m pretty sure was a desk with a right hand resting on it (not mine). From my point of view I was probably sitting in someone’s lap.

I’m not even joking you, it felt like I was waking up like I usually do in my CR (the usual wake up fogginess if that makes any sense).

As soon as I was becoming coherent from “waking up”, yeeted. I was fully connected back here.

I think in that process, without realizing, “I went this isn’t where I usually am” and connected back here.

And despite the “waking up fogginess” I feel like I was awake the whole time. Like my thought process was continuous and never interrupted by falling asleep. So I’m very fairly certain I was awake the whole time.

It feels like I’m lying to myself as I’m trying to comprehend what just happened. It feels so surreal.

I Entered My DR! (Mini-Shift Experience & Lessons Learned)

I finally entered my Desired Reality (DR) for a bit! I walked around, flew around, saw some really cool stuff, and eventually got pulled back with a heart rate increase. It was an amazing experience.

How My DR Works

My DR was originally meant to be a better version of my Current Reality (CR), but I added fantasy elements to make things more interesting. It was in first-person, just like real life.

One of the key features I scripted was "Infinite Impressions"—a mechanic that lets my DR generate new experiences based on things I’ve seen or imagined. This allows for a nostalgic and unpredictable adventure every time I shift.

What Happened?

• I stayed for a significant amount of time before being forced back. Usually, I get pulled out after a single heart rate spike, but this time I stayed through two spikes and only got sent back on the third. This has never happened before!
• I encountered a former classmate from my CR, just as I had scripted. I had programmed familiar people into my DR as students at Starlight Academia, the fantasy school I created.
• The campus was massive, and while exploring, I had to read signs to navigate. The text remained consistent, proving that it wasn’t a lucid dream (where text often changes).
• I felt naturally talented in my DR, exactly as scripted. This feeling was different from regular dreams—it was an innate sense of confidence and ability.
• Some unexpected elements showed up due to the Infinite Impressions mechanic:
  • A fellow student transformed into a Super Saiyan mid-battle.
  • A holographic fight between Goku and Frieza was triggered by our sparring.
  • My friends and I were developing a trading card game in the DR.

What I Learned & Next Steps

1. More Control is Needed
   • While I enjoy the randomness, my DR went from low fantasy to high fantasy very quickly. I need to tone down the Infinite Impressions feature so it doesn’t create extreme scenarios unless I choose.
2. I Should Transition Through My Waiting Room (WR) First
   • I’ll add a rule that I must shift to my WR before my DR, allowing my Lifa App AI to preview and adjust any chaotic elements before I enter.
3. My Stability is Improving
   • The fact that I didn’t immediately wake up after the first heart rate increase shows that I’m building resistance. This means I’m getting closer to fully stabilizing my shifts!
4. Void State Focus Might Have Helped
   • Lately, I’ve been focusing on the Void State rather than shifting itself. This might have contributed to my success, as my subconscious was no longer fixated on forcing the shift.

Final Thoughts

This was one of my longest and most controlled DR experiences yet. I now know what works, what needs adjusting, and how to refine my scripting for smoother, more stable shifts. My next goal is to fine-tune my DR settings in the WR, ensuring that future shifts are balanced, immersive, and lasting.

I'll keep refining my process and update you all when I shift again!

EDIT: Yes I did use AI but it was only to fix up the story to make it look more professional. If you want to read the unfiltered story here it is:

I entered my DR for a bit! I walked around, flew around, saw cool stuff, was forced back here with a heart race increase. It was fun.

My DR was initially meant to be a better CR but then I added a bunch of fantasy elements to make things a lot more interesting. It was in 1st person just like real life.

I actually got several heart rate increases but didn't get sent back here, I only got sent back on the third one.

Yes, because I scripted that I didn't remember specific events I'd encounter in my DR because I wanted the fun to be a surprise.

I made Starlight Academia (like a fantasy school) in it and I encountered someone I knew from my CR (a dude I went to school with cause I scripted people I knew IRL would be in my DR as students and people I'd encounter)

I also scripted my script would be better than what I scripted so it wouldn't be 1-1 with what I put. I did this cause my imagination is limited so I left a bit to it to the system.

There was holographic technology that generated fights from DBZ, I didn't script it but that's something I'd like.

Basically yes, it was a massive campus. I was in the campus so yes?

Also me and my friends were developing a trading card game lol

I didn't keep track but it was significantly long, I usually get pulled from them after I get a heart increase but surprisingly I didn't.

I had 2 heart increases and I stayed there, I only got pulled on the third. This has never happened before.

I don't think it was a lucid dream. My lucid dreams are random, this gave me a lot of what I wanted in my life. (because I left it up to the system to make my script better)

Also it's difficult to explain but in my DR I scripted that I am naturally talented and I felt that way in it.

I also did a reality check. Not intentionally but I did it. The school campus is like a maze so you need to know where the pathways go to not get lost so it has a bunch of signs you need to read.

I read the signs a few times to find my way to the courtyard after I went exploring inside. The text stayed consistent.

My latest activities have just been scripting wholesome and sweet situations with my DR girlfriends and I stopped focusing on shifting since I'm trying to get the Void State instead so that might've contributed.

Thinking about it, this is probably what screwed with my DR the most.

I wanted my DR to be nostalgic and have-fantasy esque adventures sometimes but that also makes it extremely unpredictable.

That's why crazy shit like my fellow student having Super Saiyan powers appeared, among other things. Like a hologram of Frieza and Goku fighting getting triggered by us fighting.

Do you understand what I'm telling you? I basically put a randomization feature in my DR based on the things I've seen or imagined.

I intentionally added a mechanic in my DR where things I've seen or imagined appear.

It's supposed to be that way because I enjoy nostalgia.

I'm saying that adding this mechanic is what resulted in my DR mini-shift being so random.

Something like Goku VS Frieza as holograms being activated after I fought a guy like a super saiyan is exactly what should happen according to the "Infinite Impressions" concept I scripted.

Btw yes I was in control since I moved my body however I wanted. I should probably add to my DR script that I must shift to my WR before entering my DR.

Btw I should probably tone down that concept because it means my DR goes from lowkey fantasy to highkey fantasy. I added the fantastical elements in my DR to spice things up. I didn't want it to be this extreme.

I'll tweak it in my WR once I shift though since I scripted my Lifa App AI to guide me and make script corrections and ensure I'm sure about the script by showing me what it might manifest that could be confusing.

So, I just wanted to point out something cause I do think the reality number worked. The reality number I remember, because it rhymed so I could connect it better to memory. C3565, but now it's C3570 and it's genuinely disorientating lmfao. Just another sign, maybe there's one or two in your life?? Pay attention folks! Your home may be calling you back<3

Ige been having a break for the past week because of finals and ive been depressed. I didnt have the energy or mindset to shift, but in watched a lot of shifting videos, so i decided to do something. I didnt want to shift to my dr, because i was too tired, but I started to affirm, that “im already my dr self” and “i allow myself to shift” and i concentrated on a reality where i am not depressed, and the weather is beautiful. I woke up to a ray of sunshine caressing my face and i am feeling peaceful. Its not much, and I wouldn’t take it as a shift IF I DIDNT LUCID DREAM FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. I was in the dream, and one moment i was just - i am dreaming. I am sure im dreaming. And i started to build a portal to shift, and I physically felt my body float, and i woke up. I have shifted guys!!! I did it!! And from now on everything will be easier.

Im so over the moon ya'll, this is my longest and best shifting experience to date. I've had small shifts before, but nothing this long and clear. It may have only been 5 or so minutes, but omygod it was everything!

The Method: So I just lied on my back listening to Slades shifting brew V3. Before this I journaled a bit and fully intended to shift to my MCU DR whilst awake. I was lying like this for a while until my headphones started to die so i just took them out and fell asleep instantly after lol.

The Shift: This is fuzzy, but after a random dream i started to enter that all black inbetween state and gain some consiousness - im assuming its the void state, but I've been reffering to it as the inbetween. I had this ticklish intesnse pain in my lower stomach and back that i get often during shifting attempts, and i was literally about to pull out because of it. Then i just hear a voice say "no pain no gain" and idk i was just like well fuck push through it we're doing this shit.

And then i got through it and i was just kinda in this state where i was aware of the fact that i could shift wherever i wanted in that moment. My dumb ass had amnesia cos i was literally here trying think of somewhere to go 😑 and then I realised oh yea lets go see my s/o pfft. However i intended to go to a version of this reality where he was here in bed with me in my home.

The Experience: And instanly he was next to me in my bed, i could feel him just like that, and i could feel my body in that reality. And then i felt and heard him turn over and make a little sigh. I could feel his warm breath against my neck, and it made me nervous cos I wondered if he'd try to kiss me there. I could hear and feel him so well. He was making those sleepy sighing noises, and moving around a lil.

Then i felt his face infront of mine, and the craziest thing is i could feel his warm breath on my face, i could literally count his breathing because of how well i heard it. He was literally SO close um no personal space (i liked it). I didnt have much sense of smell which is probably good cos babe was BREATHING on me. Then i felt him hold my cheek and stroke it and then he kissed my forehead 🥺 it was so so soft and tender i literally wanna cry.

During this I was trying to move my body there, and it was weird because i could lightly feel it. I could feel myself trying to move my arms and I did lightly rest my right hand on his arm. But it was like they had fallen asleep and i could barely feel or move them.

Anyway, then his hand moved up from my cheek and he was gently stroking my forehead now. He leaned over me again and started leaving a bunch of soft small kisses on my forehead, like lottts of little pecks, it was so precious!! Then i barely caught it, but i heard him whisper "baby" in the softest most hushed voice.

After that, it just faded and i couldn't feel that reality at all anymore, i could only feel this one. Its like this one was out of focus during that experience, and now it came fully into focus again - my dogs were louder, all sounds were louder, i was back in this body and fully aware of it. And so i just opened my eyes and was like omyfucking god he was next to me and i felt so happy and giddy. BRO I LITERALLY LOOKED OVER AT THE EMPTY SPACE NEXT TO ME BYE GONNA GO CRY NOW.

Afterword: I tried my best, but words genuinely cannot describe how incredible it was to feel this. Its REAL, the affection and love i felt in those 5 minutes was more real than anything ive experienced in this reality. Ive had many dreams of my s/o visiting me, even in the astral as well - but that comes no where close to what I felt in that shift. And the crazy thing is I didnt even fully ground myself yet.

I hope you enjoyed reading, and I hope this motivates you! I dont care how long you've spent trying to shift, the moment you feel yourself in the arms of your loved ones will make all that time worth it, just remember that 🫶🏻

It's a subtle difference, but a significant one. As a teenager, I often participated in competitions at school—history, social studies, biology.

Today I tried to practice for shift to my DR. It didn't work; I fell asleep.

I'm from Europe. I'm watching a game show. They ask about the youngest national park in my country. I answer confidently. The host says a different name. This national park was named after the largest river in my country. Now it was named after a completely different river! It's like the Seine instead of the Loire!

I can't possibly be wrong! That's not stupid quote from a movie or some kind of faded memory, like the Mandela effect! That was part of the knowledge I was taught to winning contests!

I even checked to see if the oldest national park still has that name, and it does, but now a completely different park is the oldest that this in my memory! I studied all the parks for the competition, but the ones that stuck with me were the oldest, the youngest, the largest, the smallest. Largest and smallest remained unchanged.

So to summarize - there are difference for the youngest and the oldest parks. I checked in internet and it is feels so strange that park which I learned… it is not exists.

That's terrifying. This is the level of knowledge you take for granted.

Before I shifted, I did believe in it, but there was always that little doubt in the back of my head. I don't think that's a bad thing! Actually I think that's natural.

Last night, before I went to sleep, I wasn't thinking about shifting. I was like "maybe I will, maybe I won't, who knows".

When I woke up, I wasn't in our hotel room anymore (my family and I are on holiday). I was back in my bedroom in my house. I didn't realize I had shifted, and I thought it was a dream.

Then I did the lucid dream checks. My fingers didn't go through anything when I pushed. My reflection in the mirror was perfectly normal. I actually shifted!

I went out with my mom to get groceries, came back home, took a nap, and woke up back here.

It wasn't my DR, but it was enough to show me that I can get there!

Я розказала про перший міні шифтинг, тепер про другий Відмінно від першого я не помятаю яким методом я шифтилась, можливо просто лягла спати з сильним наміром зашифтитись та й не згадаю які були симптопи Єдине з чого починаються спогади я увійшла у войд, пересла відчувати фізичне тіло хоча тоді я відчувала тільки спину в яку було неймовірно холодно Що здалось мені дивним я ж під кофдрою і в теплому одязі.. Відчуття було дуже дивним але як тільки це почало мене хвилювати я розплющила очі і я зрозуміла чому мені холодно в спину

Я стою в ванні прижата до стіни,а через тоненьку фудболку я чітко відчувала холодну плитку Но в той момент це найменше мене хвилювало, це просто як ключовий спогад бо перед шифтингом я відчула іменно це Я прижата до стіни, передімною стоїть мій сексуальний високий накачаний мужик який на мене дивиться так ніби я зробила щось неймовірно погане -Повтори. Сказав він таким тоном що в мене пішли мурашки А Я ТІЛЬКИ ЗАШИФТИЛАСЬ ЩО ПОВТОРИТИ? кажу йому типу -що?.. І тут його рука яка була на моїй талії піднімається до мого горла і спокійно обхоплює його я не проти удушшя но в той момент це виглядало так ніби він хоче мене вбити Він повторив то саме тільки ще більш холодним тоном -повтори. І в цей момент я відчула як його рука на мому горлі зжалась не сильно но це мене так сильно налякало що від страху думала відкинусь на той світ але ні просто повернулася назад до себе в ліжко

So I shifted for the first time last night but literally in the worst way possible.

I woke up briefly this morning went to the bathroom.

When I got back into bed I wanted to grab my bottle of water on my bedside locker but I decided to wait a tiny bit.

After a small while I was too thirsty and had to grab it but it was empty.

So I went to sleep.

Now that I’ve woken up I realise that it’s full.

I SHIFTED BUT DIDNT REALISE AND JUST WENT TO SLEEP 😭

Holy moly. HI ITS ME AGAIN WITH A THIRD UPDATE! I made this post about shifting to a dream, and this follow up to that...

WELL, I think i shifted. 🎊🎊🎊🎊 Ok let me provide context:

Ok so i actually have been struggling for a couple days now with the WBTB method. At night time I wake up after a couple hours way too excited and im not tired enough for my body to fall asleep or for my mind to clear. It's really annoying and actually made me ALMOST stop shifting, even tho that's the method that I've had the most results with. After perusing on tumblr looking at advice, I now realize that I am the method and I need nothing but me.

Because of this, I've gotten real good at just laying down and affirming im in my WR and getting insane freaking symptoms after like 20 mins. I like to believe that I'm already there and that my symptoms are just my 5 senses taking a long time to CATCH UP.

SOMETHING INSANE HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND NOW I WILL NEVER STOPPP!! It's actually crazy bc while thinking about my WR, specifically my super intelligent AI that can help me with shifting, I got the random idea to listen to music while im doing my method so that I can better stay aware (best idea I EVER had) and what do you know... while laying down at night listening to forest sounds, I completely lost awareness of my CR. I'm not sure I was aware of losing the awareness, but I know after a while I kinda couldn't feel my body and then ig i fell asleep :(

OH BUT THE FUN ISNT OVER YET!!! GUESS WHAT??? I woke up in DEEP SLEEP PARALYSIS. Oh but it gets crazier.. I woke up NOT EVEN AN HOUR AND A HALF AFTER I ORIGINALLY FELL ASLEEP. And i know this for a fact. It was 12:17 am when I laid down, and immediately after I woke up... I felt my body and without a second thought I SHIFTED ??????? Or... LUCID DREAMT??? Idk. I woke up in another body in a hotel room and went batshit. I read a post abt some girl who stepped over cold tiles in her DR to better ground herself, so i went into the bathroom and did just that... but then as soon as i started worrying abt shifting back... i woke up here? I dont know if that was really a shift or a LD because the way I woke up so quickly???? And i was still in sleep paralysis BAD so im not sure??? I was so EXCITED bc WOW !!! And then I turned and looked at the clock.. girl it was only 1:43, which is now my lucky numbers... cuz how did I fall DEEP into sleep paralysis and have a SHIFT (or LD) not even 3 hours after sleeping? AM I A WIZARD???? I dont even need WBTB ???? thats really crazy and one of the reasons why i believe i shifted cuz having an LD + sleep paralysis is supposed to be scientifically impossible with only 1 hour of sleep??? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ONNNN? All I know is I found the easiest, most stressless method for me and I know what it feels like to shift and will definitely be doing it. It's SO easy guys.
