yes, I looked through the posts with the "Success" flair. yes, I looked on other places, like Tumblr and that other subreddit. no, barely any of the success stories I've been able to find even look like full shifts...

I decided to go through the ones that I could find, and they all tend to be one of these four things:
- Manifestations. some people believe manifesting = shifting, but this sub is for the "I went to Hogwarts" kind of shifting, not "I found my car keys after they disappeared"..
- Lucid dreams. there are the most frequent ones that I've seen, with the reasoning as to why it was a shift being some stupid bs like "I couldn't control the people" or "I could FEEL that it was real!!"
- Mini-shifts / "Almost" shifts. There's a lot of "I ALMOSTTT shifted I swear I was SOOO close" in this subreddit it's kinda strange, like you either shifted or you didn't...
- Actual shifts of course, but these seem to be the minority

and what's even weirder is that.. everyone's just validating each other all the time? even when a story is clearly not a shift?? there already is a shifting circlejerk subreddit guys

so like... what the hell's up right now? why is nobody shifting? and why are like 90% of the shifting stories not even real fucking shifts wtf

I think I've figured out how to enter sleep paralysis easily, but what should I do once I'm actually in there? will good ol' affirming + visualizing do the job? or should I try entering other states like astral projection through it instead?

the reason why I'm skeptical about this is because sleep paralysis is also very OP for entering a dream, apparently... so I want to make sure that I actually shift, rather than have a lucid dream. and all people that report success with SP either "got close" or mini-shifted

for anyone curious, my SP method is basically WBTB + trying to fall asleep as quickly as possible while slightly focusing on your senses
