Does anyone have experience with shape shifters?

I probably met 2 of em, my former friends. It begun when we were just sitting in the couch, one to my right side, one to my left side. The One to my left made some weird eye movements I never have seen before, his eyes were like plopping out. I said to the other one look at this, and he said no I won’t, like there was going smth on only they two know about. I kept telling him watch at this man believe me that’s weird. And in this moment he was kinda annoyed that I focus on that weird eyes of the other so he joined the other one by doing similar stuff like him, he twistet his eyes 360 degrees and by twisting it his left eye begun to be blind with a big scarf over it, like someone cut him with a knife over his eye. When they closed their eyes ghost eyes appeared on top of their eyes, and they were looking at me very pissed/jealous/greedy, don’t know why I’m just an average dude. After that happens they said that was true what I saw and I should stop looking at them so much. The next day they said it never happend.

This was the first and only time I made that experience with shape shifters. It’s 8 years ago and it never happens again since I dropped these friends.

The Ultimate Guide to Reality Shifting – How It Actually Works (From My Research)

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed a lot of people in this community are really eager to shift, but many are struggling to get there. I completely understand the frustration. That’s why I decided to do a deep dive into the mechanics of reality shifting and put together this detailed guide based on my research and personal understanding.

Just a quick note before we start: this is all based on my opinion and experience. I really value your feedback, so please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Terms I'll Be Using

CR – Current Reality

DR – Desired Reality

WR– Waiting Room

F10– Focus 10 (Gateway Tapes)

F12-Focus 12 (Gateway Tapes)

Understanding How Shifting Works

Before you even try to shift, it’s absolutely crucial to understand how the process actually works. Without this foundational knowledge, it’s very easy to keep missing the mark.

You may have seen people on this sub talking about the "Void State." But what exactly is it?

The Void State is the first door you have to unlock to get into your DR or WR. If you cannot reach the Void State, shifting becomes incredibly difficult.

What is the Void State?

Simply put, the Void State is when your body is fully asleep, but your mind remains sharply awake.

In this state, your awareness has no attachment to your physical body. Since your consciousness is no longer tied to your CR body, your awareness can go anywhere you choose. This is the exact moment you decide to shift.

How Does the Void State Feel?

Here are the most common sensations you’ll experience:

Heavy and Paralyzed– Your limbs feel like lead. You cannot move even if you try.

Buzzing or Vibrating – A strong, electric hum or static feeling throughout your entire body.

Floating or Sinking – You lose your sense of physical orientation and feel like you're drifting.

Silent and Still – No muscle twitches, no itches, no swallowing. Just pure physical quietness.

Expanded Awareness– You are wide awake inside, but your physical surroundings feel distant.

No Sense of Time – Minutes can feel like seconds, or hours can feel like moments.

Formless– You forget where your arms and legs end. You feel like pure consciousness.

Hypnagogic Images– You might see faint colors, shapes, or random flashes behind your closed eyes.

Peaceful Detachment– There is zero emotional attachment to the physical. You are in a state of pure observation.

Potential Fear – Briefly, you might feel a "am I dying?" panic if you aren't used to it. This is completely normal.

How to Reach the Void State?

I know you’ve probably tried many different methods before. I’m not here to give you another complicated script to visualize. Instead, I want to share a scientifically backed tool that is specifically designed to get you into this state.

You need to try the Gateway Tapes – specifically the introduction to Focus 10 (F10) . This tape is designed to help you reach the Void State.

If you aren’t familiar with the Gateway Tapes, I highly recommend you Google them to understand the science behind binaural beats and hemispheric synchronization.

Important Note:

Mastering the F10 track might take weeks—not months or years—but you have to practice daily. Consistency is key to building new neural pathways in your brain.

After you’ve mastered the F10 track, you can skip to the advanced F10 tracks and eventually the F12 track, which is precisely designed to help you shift realities.

My Advice for Beginners

If you are a beginner, do not try to shift directly to your DR first.

Your DR is usually big, complex, and difficult to visualize perfectly. This often leads to frustration. Instead, shift to your Waiting Room (WR)first.

A WR is a limited space—like a small room or a cozy apartment. Because it's smaller and simpler, it’s much easier to sense using your five senses.

How to Shift from the Void State:

When you are in the Void State and ready to shift, don't force it with complicated visualizations. Just start gently sensing your first four senses:

1. Touch – Feel the fabric of your clothes or the surface beneath you.

2. Smell – Notice any scents in the air.

3. Hear – Listen for subtle sounds.

4. See – Start by visualizing faint shapes or light.

Focus on the small details, and let the rest unfold naturally.

I hope this guide helps clear up some of the confusion around shifting. It really comes down to understanding the mechanics of your own consciousness and practicing with the right tools.

Happy shifting, everyone. You’ve got this.

Okay. Made the same post on Tumblr, got no answer. Long story short. I'm aphantasic with joint pain that makes it hard to stay in the same position for a long time, been trying to shift for 1+ year (2 years ? Almost 3 ? Can't remember well but... Quite some time) with absolutely no results. No mini-shifts, no dreams lucid or not.

I used to get teeny tiny symptoms like tingling, white flashes, falling. Don't feel them anymore.

I tried counting to 100, affirmations, void state, subliminals. Out of despair, I also used the LIFA app that's been on my phone for months, untouched. I laid on my back, tried fetal and starfish positions, listening to music, tried shifting to two other DRs. Nothing works. I know you should "think and feel you're already in your DR" but I have no idea how to do that. I just lay there for two hours, until I feel stupid, start thinking that whole shifting thingy is made up and give up.

In case it matters, my three DRs are :

• My hometown but in the 23th century and I'm a Vulcan from Star Trek
• The kingdom of Lorule, from Zelda
• A filk convention in the US, in the end of the 20th century, where I'd meet the filk singer Leslie Fish So I'm starting to think I might be totally unable to shift, or that it's not a real thing and just a running gag to make fun of people who don't know, like the lady on Insragram who "sheds her skin" and that kind of stuff. Yeah I have paranoiac tendencies of some kind.

I'm in need of guidance and tips.

Hello everyone, I come asking for some advice on how to consistently achieve the mind awake/body asleep state from people who have shifted or been to the void.

I'm asking in regards to sleeping method and WBTS method. As in my research I don't think I can achieve that state or the void from awaken consciousness, I've tried and nothing works, I can relax my body to numbness but not alter my mental state.

But having been to the void multiple times in the last 6 months (would have been more if my ass didn't get lazy and put off shifting) I've found that my brain is familiar with the void and knows how to access, I just struggle with keeping my mind awake as my body falls asleep.

So I wanted to reach out to community and ask if you find folks have any ideas or tips. Because I think I'm at the last step before a full shift, I've been to the void multiple times (so my brain is familiar and knows it's possible and I don't have to worry about "manifestations, law of attraction, shadow work etc). Subconsciously I believe in shifting and don't doubt it's existence (do to my experience) so really all that's left is just keeping my consciousness awake, because I'm shifting to a waiting room, which based on my research is a middle ground where I don't have to worry about waking up in my CR and I can essentially chill while I figure the DR stuff there.

So any void method users or have any tips that will help me in the last leg of my research I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello everyone. I usually struggle to write or reach out to people, but I feel like I really need it. I discovered shifting a while ago, and I’m a person who had a lot of trauma and usually seems to cope with escapism. I feel like I used shifting for that, and not being able to shift made me feel hopeless and stuck. I want to believe in it but recently doubts and even nihilistic ideas came up that weren’t necessarily positive. I know there are people in this community that might also feel attracted to shifting because of wanting to escape this reality. This reality can suck, for some people more than for others sometimes, and I’ve decided to take a break but not stop because the possibility of it still makes sense to me, but the uncertainty and unhealthy coping make me want to step away for a while. I just wanted to ask if anyone has experience with this. I feel alone with it, and it’s not a nice place to be. I also wanted to ask for tips if anyone has experience or maybe encouragement?

I am thinking of starting gateway tapes but I don't know any genuine audios or videos for it. Can you guys help me find them?

Hi there. What just happened is insane and I had to share it somewhere, so why not here.

I have been in the shifting community for 7 years on and off. When i first joined I was very young and didn’t understand a lot of the ins and outs and wanted to use shifting as an escape. Alas, I didn’t shift. Then I went through a rough patch when starting college and abandoned my spiritual journey all together. Not trying to shift, manifest, anything of the sorts.

Then, for the past year I have slowly been working my way back, not for shifting initially, but after become more acquainted with LOA and my own spiritual journey I thought i’d look into shifting again.

So I want to say the last 6 months I have been „trying” to shift again which brings me into my story.

Today I was taking a nap after working and fell asleep with no affirmations or direct desires to shift. Just my usual affirmations I use in my day to day life. I woke up from my nap and felt that I was still tired so I was in and out of sleep for about 30 mins before waking up in a room that wasn’t exactly my room. It had the same objects as I do in my CR room but arranged differently. I felt myself stand up and I could walk around but I couldn’t see anything. (I had an eyemask on in my CR)

Then in a split second I was back in my CR and could hear and feel stuff from here. And back in that other reality.

This went on for a little bit before I kind of freaked out and really copped what was happening and I ripped my mask off my face to process what had happened.

I’m wondering has this happened to anyone else or if anyone has similar stories because this was the first time since I learnt about shifting that I’ve had such a concrete shift and i’m overjoyed.

People, the key is mindset. Not a method. Not your environment. It’s your belief system. Its the way you view yourself in the 4D. I truly believe the reason I shifted, is because of my belief system and how drastically that has changed. I won’t go into it in this post but please feel free to reach out if anyone is interested.

I've been wanting to shift to Genshin Impact for a while now and I'm worried about something. TOILETS. Toilets in Genshin must be old fashioned, right? Should I script them to be advanced? This is really concerning, you know.

I had the craziest thing happen to me earlier this morning.

I’ve posted here before, but for background, I utilize the void state a lot. I haven’t felt like I’ve mastered shifting from there, but use it for meditation and manifesting A LOT.

For the past few weeks I’ve been just enjoying my little wins.

I’ve always been able to lucid dream, but not super deeply if that makes sense.

If a dream is scaring me, I can force myself out of it easily, usually I act how I do in real life in my dreams etc.

Recently, if dreams are a little too weird, then I’ll notice it’s a dream and be SUPER lucid. Like “Oh this is a dream. Okay.” type of lucid.

I picked shifting back up at the end of May, so really June, but I’ve known about it since 2020 and only shifted once during the 2-3 years I was actively trying.

So this morning, I wake up at 8:40 AM, and decide I’ll just go back to sleep. I stay up for a little, messing around on my phone, eating fruit, then go back to sleep around 9:30.

I decide to lay on my back and just affirm (I actually enjoy the starfish position). Sometimes I’ll do this if I’m not feeling particularly like I want to shift.

I end up falling into a dream. I’m talking to my mom about something, then I go into the kitchen and drink some tea.

I go back to my bedroom, and BAM I’m super lucid. So lucid that I decide I’m going to lay on my back and shift.

I lay on my bed, starfish position, and I’m thinking about my waiting room. But then I decide, “Actually, take me anywhere. In fact, Italian food sounds really good right now. Take me to somewhere I can eat some Italian.”

A few minutes pass of me thinking about Italian food and suddenly I feel kind of floaty. This is something I feel plenty since I’m used to void state.

Before I know it though, I can’t feel my body either. Normal again, nothing new.

Then, I feel my portion starting to change. That’s a little different, but it’s happened before so I still don’t think much of it.

I’m in a sitting position, upright, feel on the ground and forearms on a hard surface.

I start to hear murmuring around me, like I’m in well…a restaurant. That’s when I start to get confused and equally excited.

I decide to open my eyes, and y’all holy shit I see that I’m sitting at a table, in a restaurant. There’s lot of sunlight because there’s these nice big windows. It’s sunny outside, the weather looks perfect. I also see people around me.

I am literally in so much awe and shock. Need I remind you, I’ve never shifted from a dream, and definitely not just because I wanted some Italian food.

But all of this is oddly fuzzy, almost static-like?

I also still see my room. It’s like my brain is genuinely short-circuiting trying to reason how it’s see two locations at once.

I know I should probably close my eyes and affirm some more, but again, I’m in awe. I move my hands on the table, and I FEEL it. It’s crazy.

I end up getting too excited and wake up on my back in my bedroom. (Again, I’d done all that from a dream)

I was not disappointed at all. I woke up smiling because I was so amused that I shifted from lucid dreaming for the first time by wanting food 😭😭😭

ok so like I've been shifting for 6+ years but I haven't shifted yet, and I really want to know from shifters who have shifted for like very long amounts of time before, what happened when you became aware of your cr again? what did u act like when you weren't aware? Did you just continue with your life without being aware in ur cr? becauseee I'm really confused ,,,, did u interact with people? Did you do things?? All while being aware in another reality?
