r/shiftingrealities

I told all my friends and they say it's always been there, honestly is so huge that I could never have missed it..

For awhile now I've seen a lot of people on tiktok admitting they lied about shifting for views, specifically people who had hella viral videos of them crying after "shifting" to Harry Potter. This is why people struggle to believe in shifting it honestly just pisses me off.

Hi guys, this is my first post here as i wanted to share this crazy experience i had today in a lucid dream. Please excuse any english errors, it is not my first language.

After a really long time (a year at least) i had a lucid dream and was really conscious of it. After a really strange dream i "woke up" in my house and was able to tell i was still dreaming, i looked at my hands and while they were mostly normal with five fingers, they had some tiny scars that looked like something had pierced my skin. I proceeded to try to open up a portal to my dr, using the branches of a plant that i have as a "frame". As the frame and the portal started to appear, a really strange man popped up from nowere and started disturbing me. Somehow, i cannot seem to recall exactly what he did, but i know he was chasing and mocking me, preventing me from opening up the portal.

In order to scape from him, the branches of the plant became a ladder, and i climbed to the roof of my house. The man continued to chase and mock me, but i grabbed the branches (that had really long thorns) broke them and made a triangular frame for my portal. I tried visualizing my DR as i was entering it but ended up waking in my CR.

This was really the first time i had so much control in a dream, but i feel like my brain keeps trying to distract me every time i become lucid. Is this common? When i think of other times i became lucid i notice that someone always shows up to distract me from the fact im dreaming (again, this is the first time it didn't fully work).

Still, i cannot wrap my head around the scars in my hand and the thorns in the branches, as if i had done that before. I wanted to ask my tarot some questions about it but i dont even know what to ask. Does anyone have any ideas on what could have happened?

edit: I just realized i had a typo on the title but can't figure out how to fix it :P

Hi. Don't worry, I don't intend to, yk 💀 myself. I just want to know what happens when you know you're going to die in this reality... Is there any way to "escape" to your dr? We don't really know what shifting is... It could just be a lucid dream... (Ik people who have shifted say it isn't...) But we really don't know what it is.

Plus, I am catholic so idk if this is a really bad sin or something 🫥

After you die... Can you go to your dr? Or will you simply never return? (Btw, I've never been there so 🫠 I hope to get there someday, and well, I want to know if anyone has any theories about what happens if you die here first.)

I’m trying to permashift I just started so I’ve just been lurking here and other platforms to find methods I haven’t seen much about permashifting specifically. I’ve been trying using a subliminal on YouTube I’ve had no symptoms yet.

I don’t know if it’s my body falling asleep or something like that but anytime I’ve been listening to any guided meditations and really calming down I get an unignorable feeling mainly in my stomach and chest where I have to move or I will be nauseous. It gets to the point where I can’t continue the meditation and have to turn it off only to still be left with the feeling when I then try to go to sleep.

I have a TADC (The Amazing Digital Circus) DR I even have a script for it and im debating on if i should even go or not😭 what about you? What are some of your DRs that people arent going to?

It occurred to me again whilst thinking about why I haven’t shifted yet (6 years) and a lot of people said it was because of a fried nervous system. But the nervous system is something in the body, not something in your awareness. The act of shifting is shifting your awareness from one reality to another, so how comes the awareness is unable to do something because of bodily blockage? You’re not shifting your body, only your awareness. So does that mean all this talk about the nervous system (and by extension self concept) is rubbish? And if so, what should people like me (severely traumatised - pretty sure I have c-ptsd) should do? (Do not say therapy).

I am someone who struggles to believe in things without some kind of proof. I want to believe in shifting but it’s hard for me to believe when there isn’t science to back it up. So I try to find evidence in science anyway I can. I like learning for the sake of learning so I’m reading a child’s quantum physics book. It talks about the quantum the world where the rules are different. It says a ball can be in 2 goals at once or a pet being awake and asleep at the same time. These are actually things that happen in our reality just at a quantum level. That helps my belief because the impossible already happens. I haven’t shifted yet but always trying to help my motivation so I thought maybe this could help someone else’s.

I swear I can’t ever articulate myself here clearly. I’m not saying there is scientific evidence to shifting. I’m not saying that the “impossible” things that happen here will also happen in another reality. What I am saying is that knowing there are “impossible” things that happens here opens my mind to other “impossible” things. It helps me feel motivated so I thought it could help someone else who has difficulty shifting because it doesn’t make sense to them.

Anytime I think of motivation for myself I share it for others who struggle in the same way I do.

Hiii so I’m trying to shift to my DR. what’s the easiest methods to shift. thanks 🥹❤️

It’s my current dilemma. I’m thinking about improving my life in this current CR and turning it into a sort of WR. So I started wondering whether I wanted to manifest changes in the world itself (like political or social changes), or simply manifest everything I want for myself and leave the world the way it is. I haven’t decided yet; for now, I’m focusing only on my own life.

There’s a sort of melancholy in trying to turn this world into “a better CR,” because it feels like, despite all the negativity, it’s still a unique place, and sometimes I feel uncomfortable with the idea of changing something about it. I think I’d rather simply shift to a “perfect world” DR (although I’m non-dualist and know that there’s no literal difference between shifting and manifestation, my mind still categorizes them as different, so I feel like the experience of manifesting improvements in the CR and shifting to a better CR are different) and just enjoy my individual life in this CR as it is.

But I came here to ask about you guys, who also like to manifest, revise your life, or shift: do you prefer to manifest/revise something for the world as a whole, or do you prefer to manifest/revise things only for yourselves while leaving the world the same? And if there’s something you don’t like about this CR, do you prefer to “shift” or just “manifest improvements”?

Hey, I don’t want this to be a long post, so I’ll try and keep it short. I’ve had a handful of mini shifts but that was months ago and the further I move past that the more I question if those were even shifts. The big problem now is when I lay down to shift with any method I always feel very trapped. I’ve been trying to shift for about 2 years now and I just wanted to ask you all for any tips to stay motivated and on how to feel more supernatural if that makes sense. Also, if you have any idea on how to use the 5 senses method in a more vivid way, please lmk because I cannot visualize or imagine at all for some reason.

Hey, I have a bad maladaptive daydreaming problem and spend so much time creating scenarios and would LOVEEE to actually experience them. Is there a way to shift to a DR where I get to live out these scenarios for like a scene and then move on to the next?

How would this work logistically? When visualizing waking up in my DR as a method to shift, how would I do this? Are there other methods that can work with this? Any other advice and tips?

Has anyone else wanted to do this? 😭

I thought this comment to genuinely be the only thing that truly put that phrase into a better understanding for me. I always figured it meant the soul of the person but that makes sense that its more closely related to a signal and that’s why we are able to tap into that signal elsewhere and why you can shift to be essentially anyone bc there’s a piece of that signal in them that you can tap into!

My dad. The only person I thought I could talk to about spirituality, now shuts me down and calls me stupid when I try to tell him about reality shifting.

He started talking about Islam, he can literally take that "Spirituality" and shove it somewhere.

I'm so hurt you guys, my parents are so unconscious and lost, trying to preach to me about fucking Islam when I try to talk with or to them about shifting and other spiritual practices.

He says he loves me, but can't even respect the real experiences I've had. My dad doesn't feel real, just like a bot, and it's really hard for me. Is he real guys, or just a version?

I grew up loving my dad, and believing he would trust me and be there for me on my path. He's just hurting me recently and completely devaluing me for my narcissist mother.

Worst part I'm vegan, feminist, gay-rights, skin/ethnic equality, spiritual, and the world literally shuts me down about everything. I keep standing because I know the world needs me in short, but I've just been so shut down recently. My dad has been putting his narc wife on a pedestal and putting me down.

I'm in a reality where my parents really fucking hate my soul, and it's hard for me. Should I stop caring about them? Is this what people mean with detach and shift?

It's like some mental detachment they have with me, for some reason it hurts me more than emotional detachment because we can't even be on the same page.

This is just my current experience in my shifting journey, I want to get out of it.

I'm not venting, but they have put me in so much pain, and with them looking me in the eyes saying they don't care about shifting. How they destroyed my belongings and garden without my consent. What is happening? Are they real, or can I shift? It really hurts me, how they treat me like a dumb delinquent, when I don't deserve that at all. I grew up with them having a history of abusing me.

I literally feel like I have no one but myself and my self-love. I'm not happy right now, I'm sad, feeling so lonely in my shifting experience.

If there is any comfort, I really would appreciate it from you guys.

I've never been this hurt in my life, and I have literally been bed-ridden from trauma. Has anyone else dealt with strong emotional pain when shifting?

How do you cope with having spiritually detached parents that you love but they are so abusive and irresponsible? So much so that it destroys your manifestations, and I lose the feeling that they have a soul.

Advice is so appreciated, thank you guys. This is one of the few communities of people who will understand me.

May repost for more guidance.

You shifted and at some point, have you ever shared that you can shift realities with anyone in your desired reality or whatever the term they use in that world for reality shifting. I only had mini shifts or shifted to random realities so far so I haven't tested that, I'm so curious what would their reaction be. A lot of us shifting to fictional realities where people have super powers, dragons, other magical creatures. I feel like if someone close to you have such powers, they're likely to sense that, but I can't know until I experience. Please share if you have similar experience.

I’m Fatui, Snezhnaya, etc., etc... It’s kind of cringe saying it, but I’m dating Columbina and I’m Dottolone’s daughter (Dottore and Pantalone). I’m not a Harbinger, but I hold a very high rank and interact with everyone daily.

How was it for you, what’s it like there (especially in the setting I’m in, Snezhnaya, what the Harbingers are like face-to-face), I’d really love to read about it!! Things to script too, so I don't get screwed over LOL

(I don't know English, so it was translated it, sorry for any mistakes 😭😭)

Just what the title says!

TW: discouraging

I have been trying to shift realities for 4 years. I have a few DRs I've been trying to shift to but it's mainly been one fictional DR that I've focused on. I've tried everything. Law of Assumption, lucid dreaming, affirmations, WBTB, guided meditations, counting, void state, scripting, hypnosis, visualizing, methods (Raven, Cinns, etc) and more. I've tried shifting during the day and night, in familiar and unfamiliar environments. I've even tried not trying.

I used to try simple methods I made up since I have bad ocd, get distracted easily, and meditation isn't easy for me. I actually had a few mini shifts I think in the beginning, where I could hear or smell things from my DR, or I would have intense dreams about people from my DR. Now that doesn't even happen.

I'm literally at the end of my rope. I just want to shift. I've watched probably every guided meditation on YouTube. I've watched so many advice videos. I took months-long shifting breaks. I stepped away from social media to find what works for me and that still didn't help.

I keep a dream journal and remember my dreams quite well, yet I still can't lucid dream. I've only had a few in my life and they always end with me forcing myself awake out of frustration because for some reason I can't fly or make portals or do any cool things.

I don't know what to do. I will admit that I am using shifting as escapism which some say not to do, but there was a time when I didn't and still did not shift. I'm also extremely stressed and depressed everyday from my CR life but I was also told that didn't matter.

There are times when I feel like I've shifted to a parallel reality where something feels slightly different like a house in my neighborhood being a different color, but those don't feel like successes because I don't know if I'm imagining things and I just want to go to my DR. I just want to go home.

Please help me. I feel like I've tried everything. Thanks for reading and sorry this was depressing.

(i also posted this on another sub hope thats ok? just want to get as much feedback as possible)

ok let me try to explain what i mean. first of all this goes for dr selves in which they are meant to be a different person from you (self-insert ocs, for example). although yes, i know they are both me and ive always lived there etc, i've heard some shifters describe it as getting there being like "omg i shifted yay" meanwhile others get there and theyre like "yea this is just another day cause ive always been here, feels like home" (i lean towards believing the latter btw personal preference cause i wouldn't wanna 'accidentally' shift back)

my question is, once i shift to my dr, upon being there, how much of my cr 'consciousness' or whatever will be present? :0 cause on one hand, Yes i'd like to on some level Realize i've indeed shifted and be able to fully enjoy the experience knowing im indeed there (even though ive always been there hehe), on the OTHER hand, i don't want it to be this weird awkward experience in which it feels like im just.. watching the DR reality through another person's eyes? even tho they're me/im them? like im wondering if my DR self will feel like 'me' the same way i currently feel like 'me' in this CR? not like im acting on behalf of another or even 'invading' their life? esp if theyre different from my cr personality. basically how natural does it feel to be ur dr self and how much, if at all, is ur cr self aware of it i guess?

is it a different experience for everyone? a combination of both maybe? or just a matter of scripting that there is a 'separation' of my cr self awareness While im in my dr? (because i also plan to script that my DR memories dont 'mix' with my CR memories when i return, not that i forget of course but just to keep my lives separate so i dont carry over any emotional baggage if u will and also have things to look forward to when i go back to my dr etc!) ((does anyone else do that btw?))

bonus question (lol) does it feel weird or even scary to come back to ur CR after realizing u can live in different realities? im worried about potentially being affected by that upon my return (even tho its like a dream come true haha), but i suppose i could script that it won't affect me negatively whenever i decide to come back to my CR?

if u read all this and leave a comment addressing anything at all i greatly appreciate u lol besos
