r/shiftingrealities

I found out about it a few years ago. Ever since then I haven’t been able to accept my current circumstances more than I didn’t before. For a while I yearned for a do-over, I made the wrong decision in life when I was 19 and since then 7 years later it’s ruined the trajectory of what my life could’ve manifested into. Then I discovered shifting, and I had been obsessed with the idea that I could actually have a chance to go back and permashift to actually change my life for good.

But that’s the problem- I haven’t made a successful attempt but just been seesawing over just biting the pill and improving my current situation and going back, there’s been life experiences I’d lose if I went back but if I don’t I keep yearning for the past. I know people are gonna say “well you can do both! Improve your life here whilst attempting to shift!” It feels counterproductive.

Tbh now I’m trying to just accept my CR and leave it as a pipe dream, but even then so the idea of shifting and the what if’s in the back of my head even when I do try and forget about it still haunts me at the back of my mind and whatever I do to feel fulfilled in my CR feels like a weak attempt. Plus I have DPDR, and this has put gasoline on the fire in terms of that. I just wish I never even discovered it in the first place.

Just as the title says, I was wondering if anybody actually had success, doing WBTB. In my case, I do the WBTB bed plus a method.And has anybody had any success with this at all? Because I don't wanna waste my time when I could just try to get into the void and increase my chances of shifting!

I feel like I cannot shake this belief that... although I cannot identify it, I have a group of motivated positive, people who I cannot see or speak to, but they make me feel watched and cared for.... and even though I do not understand it, the world is about to make a lot more sense, in a wonderful way! 😎🌞✌️🤐

🦸Hey, is it a lot easier... if i assumed that maybe a HUGE relief of pressure could come to fruition if I find myself a woman 👩 who loves me 💗🦸‍♀️ and loves the thought of a pregnancy maybe being able to help our feeling of continuity and togetherness, feel like the strong bond I need??..... which would help me AND the group of supportive people I feel like have around me (even though they aren't quite seen directly).... would that be a good way to relieve stress on just ine individual...or what??

Thank you for reading.

Hi guys! So the title is pretty much self explanatory. I’m trying to shift to the vampire diaries and i every time i try to shift i am 100% confident that i will succeed. I affirm, i use the head lifting method and honestly it works pretty well, i feel like i’ve gotten quite close, i get twitches, my body feels lighter but i can’t never get there.

From what ive noticed, my problem is that i am too attached to my physical body. I feel my surroundings too much, and even though i’m really good at visualising and can actually almost feel the things, and textures of what i’m visualising, i still can’t detach. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on what i can do and how i can overcome this?

I feel like I’m going crazy when I’m asking a genuine question on this subreddit and it gets removed like why?? I’m not breaking the rules or anything 😭 it’s literally like, someone asks a question? Removed. Someone asking about methods? Removed. Somebody talking about their experience? Removed. YOU CANT POST ANYTHING ON HERE I SWEAR TO GOD

Lmao watch this get removed too

I’ve been trying to fully shift for a year-ish now. Even on my first attempts, I could feel my surroundings and it could really visualize it but the moment I open my eyes, I’m back in my cr. I’ve tried basically every method and I find the void state works the best for me but once I’m there, I have a hard time actually shifting. Again, I can smell my dr and really visualize it but I always end up opening my eyes.

I’ve also been trying to have a lucid dream and try to shift that way but it hasn’t happened yet.

I’m just asking for advice on how to transition out of the void state without waking up! Any advice is welcome!

edit: I have attempted to shift both in the daytime and at night and both results are pretty much the same. I do find it a little harder to do it at night because I usually end up falling asleep after a while.

Hey you! I see you're trying to shift. Don't ask how I know, I just do. I'm here to help!

DR: Desired Reality

CR: Current Reality

Script: Your DR but written down to help focus

So, I see a lot of people saying stuff like "you need to do this" And "you shouldn't do this" or "You should feel this" And stuff like thst. But the thing is, shifting is personal.

"You don't need a method to shift." That is completely true. You can shift whenever, however. But, you can use methods. I find it easier to focus on a steo of instructions, like training my subconscious that these steps lead to a shift.

"You can shift anytime, anywhere." Again, this is also true. But, BUT, I recommend quiet places with nothing actively stabbing you or something. This can make it hard to focus on your DR and detach. Believe me, trying to shift with people talking is a pain in the ass.

"You don't have to script." This is AGAIN true. But, scripting can be helpful. It can give you something to focus on. Your subconscious knows what you want, but someti,es outwardly writing it or typing it can make it seem more real.

If you need help, have questions, or anything of the sort, ask! I'm usually online at least once a day.

Happy Shifting! Good Luck.

I discovered shifting a while back, I can’t really remember the exact year. Nonetheless, I attempted shifting shortly after learning about it. Whenever I engaged in shifting, I was able to feel some sensation (tingly body, white and black and white in my vision.)

Unfortunately, I was unable to maintain this state due to a loud noise that caused me to snap out of it. Now a couple years later, I am attempting to get back into shifting. i do have the basic knowledge regarding it. (creating scripts, understanding safety rules, shifting methods, and meditation), but the only problem is that i’m not exactly sure if the methods i’ve tried for shifting is actually working or not. Not only that, I am aware of the fact I will have to meditate or try to do it but I really just don't know how. I always feel tense and can't focus which becomes a problem. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, or tricks that could help me in my journey?

hey shifterssss so i am permashifting to my waiting room and in that reality i am the only human. i live with my 2 cats, and astro from the game astrobot (he's like a little helper and company, i ask him anything and he knows the answer). everything outside my apartment (i don't leave the apartment) works automatically robotically. like cars, building lights, boats, etc, but no humans. to entertain myself, i like to play games like elder scrolls, and if you don't know what that is, it is an online game with servers. questing online, defeating enemies y'know, like a medieval fantasy world. sometimes i need help from other players who are more advanced than me. so my question is, how is this possible, if i'm the only human in the reality? why can i shift to a reality where, despite being alone, i can play with others? and i can ask astro ANYTHING, like about actors and stuff who don't exist there? or is there anything i can script to make it make more sense to me? sorry, lots of questions 😅 but this is my waiting room that will be my permareality, so i want to make sure it isn't gonna make me paranoid if i have unanswered questions. thanks in advance! ♡ <3

QUICK EDIT: automated comment said i might be asking IF i can script something - i'm not asking that. i'm asking why it is possible and what i could script to make sense of it :)

Hi everyone!

I'm back to shifting after a long break. And I think I still have the same blockage as I used to, which is; if I don't know how to do something in this reality, I won't be able to do it in my DR. And I'm shifting to Pandora which means I will need to know how to use a bow, hold my breath, etc. And so I have this blockage where in my head it's like "I don't know how to do this" and it really bother me...

And I might have another blocage with my personality and way of being which is supposed to be different from the way I am here (I don't know if it's clear?)

Could you help me please? Give me tips or something? Thank you ^^

Good shift everyone!

Hello!

I have been aware of shifting for about 6 years (like many others) since I was in middle school. Since then, I've created, and continue to create, numerous scripts (with one multi-year long break) Currently, I have 23 DRs with scripts that are finished or in the works (one of which is a waiting room DR).

I like to make my scripts very detailed, partially just because I enjoy it, so scripting takes me a very long time. I've never actually made a true attempt at shifting because I always have it in my head that I'll do it when I finish my scripts, which I still plan on doing.

Anyway, I'm getting closer to finishing them, so I have begun to think more and more about what the experience may be like for me. If I do end up going to multiple of them, or even all of them, what will it be like? Specifically, I'm wondering if anyone who has successfully shifted to multiple different realities can give me a bit of insight of what it's like going to multiple different realities. Does it ever get confusing with all of the different memories? Do you ever mix the memories up? What are memories from other realities like in this one?

I've recently been thinking of returning to shifting because I AM SO DAMN BORED HERE haha, and I want to really ease back into the community and practice, etc. So, what are your favourite youtubers who cover shifting who actually have shifted themselves? I'll watch anyone

I see a lot of people writing about their shifting struggles and venting about how they haven't shifted after years of trying, to which they often list off awake methods that are predicated upon visualization/affirmation that you're in your DR, and then shifting completely awake. The thing about these methods is that they are inherently going to be more difficult as you are trying to shift coming from a place of wakefulness. Methods like the Raven method aren't awake methods per se, but I think the fact that you are beginning these method from an initial place of wakefulness is why the Raven method is also infamous for... well, really, really sucking. It's still possible to shift with these methods, but it's going to be a lot harder, especially if you don't enter hypnagogia before trying to shift.

And I understand the frustration, I really do. Every single time I've attempted an awake method, no matter how much I did everything right, no matter whether or not I was able to get into a hypnagogic state, nothing would happen. Even now, every single awake attempt I do has a way of just depressing me with the way I never experience results from them. I used to feel like I was defective and broken.

Something you'll notice upon lurking the astral projection sub, lucid dreaming sub, etc., for a while, is that the majority of astral projection and lucid dreaming techniques have significant overlap with shifting methods, just with a few nouns and verbs replaced. Take, for instance, how CucumberCurious2404 was able to shift by using SSILD (a lucid dreaming technique) and the head lift technique (an offshoot of the Michael Raduga method.) An experienced astral projector from r/AstralProjection also very likely shifted and went on to live a whole new life, completely on accident. The "direct method" of astral projecting is also very similar to the outline of most awake methods—get into a state of deep relaxation, and then imagine something to produce a desired effect. What I'm trying to get at, is that you should also visit these other subreddits, even if you may not be interested in astral projection or lucid dreaming directly. The techniques provided can be re-engineered for shifting and can still help you accomplish your goals.

What finally worked for me after struggling tirelessly with awake methods, feeling my CR bed, wondering when my "awareness would shift first," and the overall agony to come from awake methods in general, was the astral projection technique Michael Raduga wrote about in his book called The Phase, as well as talked about in his seminars on YouTube. This technique takes advantage of an altered state known as hypnopompia, which is essentially the inverse of hypnagogia—the transition from sleep to wakefulness. What makes this oftentimes superior to hypnagogia is that, provided you are awakening directly from REM sleep, hypnopompia can involve residual REM brain activity. I really think that this could help so many struggling people make progress. I haven't shifted yet, BUT I've had a couple of OBEs from this technique, the first of which happened after a month of practicing this method. Here is a breakdown of the steps to the technique.

1. Set an alarm to wake you up a few hours before you usually wake up. For many people, this will be somewhere between 5-6 hours, but for some people like me, this can leave us feeling "too awake." I often opt for 3-4 hours of sleep instead. Tweak to your own preferences.

2. When you wake up, briefly get out of bed so that you don't immediately fall back asleep. This step is crucial. You can use the bathroom, get something to drink, etc. Don't use your phone unless you're using it extremely briefly and on low light to turn off the timer in case you woke up before it (happens a lot.) Stay up for 10-60 minutes.

3. Get back into bed. When you close your eyes, set the intention to wake up in an ideal state for performing this method. What I do is, for a few minutes, repeat the following affirmation: "The next time I wake up, I will not move or open my eyes." I eventually stop affirming, decide "it is done," let go, and try to fall asleep.

4. When you wake up, if everything goes the right way, your eyes will still be closed and you will not move. Beyond just that, I often find that I wake up with a heightened sense of awareness when I'm successful at this step—forgetting to perform the method is never an issue for me.

5. Perform "exit techniques" in an attempt to astral project. Common exit techniques include slowly and slightly lifting your head, imagining rubbing your hands, and imagining rolling out of your body. You can ALSO re-engineer this technique to be used specifically for shifting, by plainly affirming or visualizing that you are in your desired reality (this worked for one commenter either on this sub or the other reality shifting sub.)

6. If you don't shift or astral project, repeat steps 3-5.

Prep/additional measures you can take to help improve effectiveness:

1. Meditate for at least 10 minutes a day. (The more, the better. A likely reason I haven't been able to shift from my brief OBEs is that I didn't meditate back then.)
2. Record affirmation tapes and repeat them while you are performing mundane activities, scrolling, etc., that way you can really embed this method into your subconscious and sometimes even perform it without setting intention the night before. If you have iOS, I use an app called Parrot to record my voice and loop it indefinitely. Affirmations I use are:

• "I always recognize my natural awakenings."
• "Every time I wake up, I do not move or open my eyes, and I remember to perform exit techniques."

so ever since i started my shifting journey my dreams became weird. Days that i dont attempt to shift like using guided meditation i dont dream but on days that i attempt to shift ill always have this recurring dream theme.

Im always being chased by something. It could range from creatures like dinosaurs to some being that i cant really remember. Everytime im running away from the thing chasing me.

So im not sure if this is a sign for something deeper?

By recording, I mean just recording your body, while you are shifting to see if your body does any sort of reaction or so? While Shifting. If someone has done it before please tell me about your experience as well.

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’ll try to make this short.

so basically, the most common method that I use is like falling asleep and setting an intention or like trying to shift awake with meditating and using like sats. Because I don’t lucid dream that often anymore, and even when I do reality checks and all that stuff like usually when I try and lucid dream, I just wake up another dream or wake up fr. so if there’s any methods that you swear by please tell me because I also have this problem where I’m holding myself back because of the uncertainty of how it might feel like to shift itself not the reality I guess??

anyways, the first time I ever shifted was when I took a nap and I just like woke up in an alternate reality and I guess that’s what works for me the best? but these past two times that I’ve tried, it was basically what I would imagine the void to be I think? But it was like fully black and chill. I was lucid and I basically started seeing tunnel vision. and from far away it’s a little circle of my DR coming towards me. I would like try to jump out of my body into the circle? Kind of using it as a portal but the second time, I was just kept affirming because I don’t wanna force it so please tell me if anyone else has experienced this because I can see it and it’s right there but like I don’t know how to get there you know?

for background

I use self-concept and affirmations all the time, but I usually don’t try to shift because I’m lazy to sometimes and I’m just like scared?? But the first time I shifted was on accident.

This seems like an obvious thing considering we’re playing around in the realm of literally shifting to alternate realities. However, I’ve noticed many DRs in the overall shifting community are fandom based and my personal DR is something basically entirely original. Like…is that a possible DR to potentially shift to or does it have to be based in an established fandom from this reality?

Is shifting possible with aphantasia? I can't visualize images, sounds, sensations, etc. It's just a black screen. But in many guides it says to visualize
