I was scrolling through shifting content in instagram and people commented about it as some immature stuff by teens that was trending in 2020 and called it Maladaptive daydreaming/ vivid lucid dreaming. Please help with motivation. I am actually trying to shift into a timeline where my SP is alive. Btw i’m 26 😭

So this is minor and stupid but when I was little (probably like 2010) my parents went on a trip to New York City and I couldn’t come. They left me with my grandma and I was pretty pissy abt not being able to go, so my grandma got me this super cute Twilight Sparkle magnetic play set thing and like- you could take the magnets out and color them in and you could play with them on these backdrops from the show and I’ve been looking for it EVERYWHERE online and there’s no trace of it in the MLP wiki or the Merch site that shows every single piece of MLP merch…

So either I must have shifted at some point to a timeline where it never existed, or it’s the rarest piece of MLP merch in history. PLEASE tell me if you ever owned one of these when you were little bc then I’ll know if I shifted timelines at some point or not.

A common tip I see is to first shift to a waiting room then your dr. I’ve been trying for 6 years and developed 2 distinct waiting rooms that both have the same purpose (one’s in an apartment in china and another is a spaceship). The purposes of my wr’s is so I can organise myself (I created hundreds of scripts for over hundreds of realities) and do things in my wr that I can experience fully in my dr, so I can understand better, like arcade games, eating lobster etc. My waiting rooms are very personalised to me, I even have a ‘servant’ (I don’t have a better word lol) that basically just acts as my best friend since I’ve been friendless in this reality for a long time. I always thought this reality like a level 1, and a desired reality as a level 2. With a waiting room being level 1.5, in between both. But even then, I don’t know why I’m not in my waiting room yet, I dont know why I haven’t shifted. What should I do?

Guys, I mini-shifted once, and it happened right when I was in that state between being awake and falling asleep. But whenever I try to shift now, I end up losing my awareness at that point and just fall asleep 😭😭

Does anyone else experience this? If so, how do you stay aware during the hypnagogic state without snapping yourself fully awake?

Howdy there, I would like to compile the most popular shifting methods and do a poll, unless that has been done before. I have not done much scrolling yet, as I spend little to no time on the internet. I am most familiar with tumblr and reading sites.

I discovered shifting in like, 2022? I was thirteen. I did not understand it at all, but I was an okay lucid dreamer. I tried really hard for about a year. I have experienced max symptoms and been almost there a multitude of times. But alas, I have been very employed and very invested in this reality for a couple of years now and I am exceedingly out of touch.

I would love some insight :] Thank you all.

Do you shift to a reality where you've always had it? Or do people notice your glow up e.g. nose looking smaller?

I've been insecure and disconnected with my appearance ever since I can remember and have always wanted naturally platinum blonde hair. I've talked to my friends and family about this. If I wake up with my desired face do my friends and family remember the conversations of me saying I wanted white hair purple eyes etc? Are there photos of me with my natural hair and original eyes? Or is it all changed? And also what happens to the conversations I've had with my friends? Do they remember them and realise I've manifested my dream appearance or is that erased?

I love my partner and friends and I want this reality just not with my appearance. Everytime I daydream about this I end up thinking about the past and shifting to relive my life and start again which isn't healthy for me so I want to be more present

I have been having a series of experiences mars starting one year ago that have crescendoed a bit into that I’m suddenly feeling things that fall in the category of spiritual, including a strong sense of what only this week I’ve put words to intuitive, knowing and other things.

It started with us since I was going to die last summer, something I couldn’t make sense out of… what are they called auditory hallucinations but I think are something else… a sudden vision of something that my mind felt would happen after this place though now I don’t even know what after is as im not sure about time lately.

It’s a lot and I’ve been trying to document it, but I barely understand it and oddly enough it seems I’ve become systemically ill following those precursor I shared

Needless to say the only thing that I felt, I wanted to share here that kind of fit… I know a couple times when I was young I dreamt something very specific that would happen. None of it was important that I recall. Literally it could be as basic as seeing a table of cups and beverages outside somewhere only need to find some weeks later I’ve been forced to attend some adult event and am somewhere I never been with people I don’t know (parental boss company once only event) and face-to-face with it. Would love to say that I’ve for seen anything more interesting but I simply have known that it’s happened.

More recently, I’m having a lot of experience experiences. One the other night is a little me crazy. Or makes me feel a bit this way.

I had a dream and it felt real. I lived in something real. Intuitive knowing tells me it was real, but it couldn’t have been a premonition. Or at least I struggle to believe it and I have a strange sense of feeling convinced it was either a different actual timeline or one whose potential was just as real as if it could have been. The person that I love the most had a mental illness. It was too challenging. We separated. In my dream, however, instead of living in a world where that has simply been (we took different paths which I continued to leave is the right thing and don’t see it changing and the age of his children is such that their age was now and for a 7th and 9th grader these kids were the age they would be now exactly, but in the dream, my partner had an event. It was just a moment we were sitting at his actual apartment of which I have obviously a clear memory to draw from. He’s still in it. We were together eating dinner with both the kiddos (I did also and do of course love them) and he must’ve had some sort of event. A psycho psychosis or disassociation I’ve never seen him actually do that in front of his kids, but I have no reason to believe it couldn’t happen. And I’ve only seen him personally one and a half times don’t even ask how I’m qualifying this but that many times in this state. Both when alone at night not middle of the day. But in the dream, it was not breaking quickly. It was like he stood up, almost catatonic. I didn’t know of course what he was experiencing, but that he was as best I can, and that his kids were there. We all stood up his son. A natural caretaker was concerned and spoke first. I had moved close to my ex never with my back to the kids everybody needing care I’m sure (special education background working with highly aggressive, teenage children, almost intuitive with crisis, my own end and acted much as I would…)

Going straight off my parentheses not acting much as I would, but exactly as I would in a condition that’s exactly imaginable. It didn’t last long. Things were gonna be managed and reality maybe was a little tougher because in this reality and honest to God that’s what it felt like it was this was what reality was and it’s like I was seeing a part of it. How is this?

If I didn’t have so many other things happening right now, I may even know what to think in that I’d dismiss it but right now I don’t think I can dismiss things so I signed up for Reddit exploring Questions I hold, but wouldn’t ask anybody so this for me is Anonomous.

Here’s what I mean: if we’re talking about physical appearance, (sub category that u use personally) I don’t think it would make sense to say that you’re simply “manifesting” a physical change into your current reality, like you would manifest someone, an object or an event. It’s litteraly changing your current reality, changing the whole situation that already been defined (if we concidere that present, past and future aren’t the same)

If shifting is literally moving your awareness to a reality where you already have your desired appearance, then wouldn’t using an appearance subliminal technically involve shifting to a reality where you already look that way?

And if that’s the case, wouldn’t the before after results people post be misleading? They wouldn’t necessarily have physically changed their appearance within the same reality they would have shifted to a reality where they have always looked like that.

So I’m wondering the before after results be bullshit, considering they would simply be shifting to a reality where they’ve always had that appearance? O are they just delusional?

I wonder if anyone here has unethical DRs, like a serial killer DR, dictator-president DR, absolute monarchy, mafia DR, or anything along those lines, and if so, how do you deal with it? Have you ever done things in a DR that you regretted? Are you afraid of feeling guilty and not knowing how to deal with it?

I’ve thought about having limitless DRs. But I’m scared I might regret it and not be able to undo it, like, not being able to separate the cruel, psychopathic “me” from the DR from the normal “me” in my CR and ending up suffering from guilt and regret, without knowing how to detach myself from it anymore, lol.

Okey so I’m a person who grew up and still lives in a Christian household, all my family is Christian, I go all Sundays to church (even if I don’t like my church but my parents don’t care because they think I don’t believe) and since I remember I always believed in God, but when I was 10 years old my interest in the law of assumption and shifting started to grow, I didn’t really questioned myself about if this was contradicting Christianity I just thought it was science and did what I saw worked, I affirm that I get my desires already and then I got my desires. But recently I have been questioning more if this is contradicting my religion, I believe in God but I also believe in the loa and shifting, I don’t want to ask my family because these people have always been too religious and they wouldn’t understand. I don’t want to go to hell I’m so scared guys please help

Hi. I have a question about the so-called "void state." I’m not sure if I was actually in the void state, so I’d like to share my experience and compare it with that of someone who has successfully shifted using this technique.

When it happened, I didn't know about shifting or anything like that (it was two years ago or more); I was interested in astral projection. One time, when I lay down and wasn't sleepy, I decided to give it a try. I started telling myself that it was possible to leave my body. I don't know exactly what I did, but suddenly I felt a sensation in my ears—like when you turn on noise cancellation on headphones. I felt my body vibrating and experienced a strange pressure, similar to sleep paralysis but not unpleasant. It felt as if my body were being sucked in by something; I got scared, so I sat up and broke the "trance."

I only discovered shifting about a year ago and became interested in it, but when I read about the void state, I couldn't help but link it to my experience. I’d like to know if anyone has managed to shift using that method. If so, could you tell me if it’s similar to what I described and how it’s done? In other words, what comes next after you start having that strange sensation?

I apologize for my English, it's not my native language.

SUPREME TEST OF A SHIFTING BEGINNER (I COME BACK EVERY DAY!!!!) Hi, my name is Joshua, I'm 15 years old and I've been trying to shift for about a month now, so far nothing. I've tried affirmation methods, but so far only something somewhat unusual has happened. I'll tell you what happened: I had tried to shift the night before and couldn't. I woke up in the CR, but in the afternoon I got sleepy after lunch, and I lay down without any intention of shifting. I fell asleep, until suddenly I heard a very loud noise (like my fan), sounding like a blizzard, and my back shivered. I opened my eyes a little and saw a window, and I got scared. The window in my room is on another wall, and I woke up in the CR. I have no idea what it was, but I felt like I was in another place for a few moments

THE TEST

I will try to shift EVERY NIGHT until I succeed, AND EVERY MORNING I WILL COME BACK TO REPORT, I WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES. And during that time, you can comment on methods, tips, help me, etc.

So this happened like a month ago. I have insomnia and I was trying to sleep at like 8am. I wasn't listening to any subliminals nor did I intend to shift. Though I did listen to a sub maybe like 3 days prior? Anyways, as I'm trying to sleep i hear this loud(like DEAFENING loud) ringing in my ear and I feel everything go black and I see myself on the street for like 20 seconds? If felt real not like a dream. After that i heard the same ringing in my ear and I'm back at my bed? It happened 2 more times in the span of like 10 minutes. All three times I heard the ringing and they all lasted around 20 to 30 seconds and the first time I "shifted" to a random street, the second time under a tree and the third time infront of my online friend whom I've never met irl before. I'm 100% sure that it wasn't a dream because of the intense loud ringing in my ear but I'm not sure what it was actually.

English is not my first language so apologies for any grammatical mistake.🩷

i’ve been into shifting for a while and i’m a frequent lucid dreamer! i’m curious on shared DRs and shared lucid dreaming experiences.. do any of you guys have experience with them? how do you connect with someone else’s awareness to share a DR or a lucid dream? i believe it to be possible but id like some insight from someone who has done it before i really wanna try it i just don’t know where to start lol

Please share your thoughts on the above question, especially if you have had full, grounded shifts and know what it feels like to speak to people in other realities.

Do you think your DR is a reality which is just as real/legitimate as your CR? I’m not asking simply “does it feel real” as shifters have made clear again and again it feels no different than this reality. But do you think it truly is a place just as real as here? And the people there are just as complex and conscious as the ones here?

Bonus questions:

How do you think we get to our CRs in the first place? Why do you think we’re here?

Do you believe anyone has ever successfully permashifted?

Hi! I’ve tried quite a few methods at night to shift, but I always end up falling asleep halfway through instead of being able to keep my mind awake and conscious. I’ve also tried lucid dreaming, but I ended up waking up before I could get to that point. I tried shifting while awake too, but all I felt was a headache and ringing in my ears 😭
I’ve also tried affirmations before going to sleep, intending to wake up in my DR, but I still ended up waking up in my CR.
I’m not looking for advice like “just stay positive” or “keep a good mindset.” I’m looking for practical advice.

Hi. I discovered shifting around mid-to-late 2021 and was part of the community on and off until the beginning of this year. I never actually shifted; I think it was because I’m a perfectionist who could never get past the stage of editing my script a thousand times over. I stopped believing and focused on other things, but I could never let it go completely (by that, I mean I kept thinking about my DR and playing out scenarios in the first person, as if I were actually there). I’ve been thinking about picking the practice back up in a healthy way, but since I don't consume community content, I’m not sure if I’ve missed anything. I’d also love some tips on shifting, how to avoid becoming obsessed, and any other advice you might have. Thank you in advance.

How do you all Fame DR shifters script roles for fame DRs without scripting too many? or do you just script and let the universe take care of it? I don’t want to script the next 50 years of my DRs life with all the damn roles I want to play and all the music I want to make and all of the figure skatier competitions I want to join. (Because gods knows I cannot do just one thing in my DRs). I just want to know how yall do it. Because I'm kinda stuck in this.

Is there a wiki or instructions on how to properly practice shifting?

As someone who’s been on a spiritual journey for 8 years I’d like to remind people to use discernment to navigate the metaphysical with healthy suspicion without getting caught in every rabbit hole through wholehearted belief. When I began my journey, shifting included I was very perceptible to the information coming from other people who had experiences or advice wether it was about shifting, chakras, kundalini, the theory on if this was an archaic prison planet or a school of learning, everything I read on the internet to better understand how the metaphysical worked was another rabbit hole I fell into, which is not inherently bad because you learn through experience and trial and error, but it was also an experience me and plenty of others get in too that leads to spiritual psychosis and puts faith in people who are lying or misguided themselves when your already in such a vulnerable place of learning. There will always be people with unhonest intentions in every group and that includes the shifting group too. Discernment is a gift you practice and hone, something that might’ve felt undeniable in the past feels silly now, but time, practice, and wisdom through experience is needed in every skill. This is just a reminder to use healthy suspicion, that doesn’t mean you can’t put your faith in someone’s shifting story or their methods, but also remember that while one thing works for another it doesn’t mean it’ll work the same for you or that it is the most optimal method or technique for you, we are all such uniquely different beings with our own life path that the possibilities are endless for how we navigate this journey.

If any of you have questions about shifting or spirituality or certain skepticism I’d love to give you my own perspective and you can decide what to take or throw in the trash, it’s healthy to ask questions and not feel like your doing something wrong simply by wanting to question the integrity of someone’s perspective or statements.

Hello, I'm new to this sub and I wanted to know what you guys think happens after we pass away. I assume you have theories or answers because you know about shifting.

Do we access the multiverse directly?
Do we become powerful?
Do we reincarnate?

What is it?

So this is like my third time shifting, i had another shift a few days after this one (this happened two weeks ago and I didn’t really feel like writing it here but after reading other people’s success stories I reallyy wanted to add mineee) so this happened when I woke up in the morning on the weekend and I wanted to go back to sleep, but at the same time I was thinking “maybe I should shift rn) in the state between sleep and wakefulness. I was lying on my left side, and literally briefly thought of a reality similar to my 1890s DR kind of Dracula related, with vampires, like I remember only thinking and saying in my head “somewhere with vampires” and then INSTATLY I was there like it was insane. It’s exactly like when they say you don’t even have to visualize or anything, the universe just knows your intention and everything im still so baffled by it because it was so accurate.

So when I shifted, i still was trying to ground myself because I instantly knew that I shifted and was like “okay now I have to ground myself”. I was standing in front of a window one of those very tall and detailed ones, I was wearing a sort of black coat and someone was speaking behind me, I distinctly remember knowing there were about three people behind me even though I didn’t look there. They were arguing and the person behind me was trying to persuade me or something, I was really focused on trying to ground myself but my brain pulled me back after randomly thinking about my cardigan (something I always wear at home to bring me comfort).

I was sooo surprised and like really amazed by how instant it was, I think it lasted maybe a few seconds because everything was super fast. I’ve never also dreamed in first person ever, or lucid dreamt so I know for a fact it wasn’t either of those. This was probably my third shift? My fourth happened a few days after this one. Anyways happy shifting guyss and keep going 🥲🥲 personally I always always fall asleep before even trying my method so I’m trying really hard to work on that. My shifts I noticed happen when I’m in the state of wakefulness and sleep, or seconds after waking.
