welcome, i’m olive ( brazilian. virgo sun. pisces moon. scorpio rising ) and this is my weird little corner of the internet. i first learned about shifting in 2020 but didn’t really attempt anything until 2021 after doing some research on it. i’m a heavy daydreamer and a girl with an obsessive behavior lol. i love talking about my desired realities but not so much about my significant other(s) (possessive much? nooo). english isn’t my first language but i swear i try. i’d love to make some shifter friends, so don’t be shy!
main drs: 00s fame dr, once upon a time, mcu, spiderman, english countryside, fantasy dr, ncis, marauders, merlin, more
biggest obsessions: true crime, spiderman, old hollywood, taylor swift, gracie abrams, sabrina carpenter, romantasy books
everytime your put your dirty clothes in the hamper they appear folded and clean in your closet.
your phone has an insanely long lasting battery and plenty of storage.
you're not a picky eater!!! every single thing you eat in your dr tastes amazing and better than it tastes here.
you can always find and buy the things you were searching for.
your hair is healthy, never gets tangled and always looks how you want it to look.
no matter how loud is the music you're listening to, your ears never hurt.
all the headphones/earphones you buy have an excellent audio quality, even if they were 5$. they never break or stop working.
everytime you go to a new place it's like your has been uploaded; you know where each place is, how to get there and how long would it take you to get there.
you get free things randomly, whether it's a sample or a prize.
your bed+pillows are always clean and comfy. you get to sleep a lot and like a baby.
your house is ALWAYS clean.
no matter how much you dye your hair, it'll always remain healthy.

WHAT IS HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— hypnagogia is the transition state between wakefulness and sleep. hypnopompia, on the contrary, is a condition that occurs during the transition state from sleep into wakefulness. both of these states are accompanied by involuntary thoughts, images, fragments of memories, as well as vivid visual and auditory hallucinations (like waking dreams), often along with sensations of levitation or falling
— during hypnagogia or hypnapompia, your body is relaxed but your mind is active, making your subconscious mind receptive. “during hypnagogia, you are in a powerful state in which every assumption instantly bypasses your conscious mind, going directly to your subconscious; being absorbed like a sponge thus easily believing anything”
SYMPTOMS
visual hallucinations: flashes of light, geometric shapes or patterns, vivid images of people, animals, or scenes
auditory hallucinations: music, voices, knocking, buzzing, ringing, whisper, hearing your name, explosions, bangs
tactile and somatic hallucinations: sensations of floating, flying, falling, rotating, swaying, rubbing, light touch, bugs crawling on the skin
hypnic jerks: sudden muscle spasms or jerks that may wake a person up, often associated with a falling sensation. in my own case, i observed that the index finger rose on its own or the hand clenched into a fist
if you think you've experienced hypnagogia or hypnopompia, you probably have. besides, we are all different, so the symptoms of hypnagogia and hypnopomia will be different for everyone
HOW TO INDUCE HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— here you will find more methods, below i will give those that i personally like. this post also deserves attention
HYPNOPOMPIC STATE
EASY METHOD
— before going to bed, set an intention in the morning to immediately start doing the method (affirmations, visualization) upon waking up
— wake up in the morning
PHASE METHOD
— sleep 4-6 hours and wake up with (or without) an alarm clock
— when you wake up, stay awake for 5-20 minutes
— go back to sleep with the intention of waking up in an hour or two and being aware of each natural awakening
— it is advisable to wake up completely motionless and with your eyes closed. but it's okay if you don't succeed. after each attempt, go back to sleep with the intention of waking up and trying again
— more details: 001, 002, 003
HYPNAGOGIC STATE
FOCUS METHOD
— lie down and relax your body
— it is advisable not to move, but if you do this, it will not cancel your progress in any way. you can swallow, move your tongue and jaw
— now choose an anchor: breathing, darkness behind your eyelids, affirmation, heartbeat, etc.
— now focus your attention on the chosen anchor. from time to time you will be distracted by other thoughts, that's okay. but try again and again to return to the anchor that will keep your mind alert while your body falls asleep
— “you will know when you have entered the hypnagogic state if you feel your awareness slipping from you/dozing off to unconscious sleep and you feel extremely drowsy, foggy, groggy”. however, let me remind you again that we are all different and your symptoms of hypnagogia may differ from the symptoms of most
— relax. do not attempt to induce or enhance hypnagogic hallucination. watch this for about a minute and then start doing the method
SONG METHOD
— lie down and relax
— play the song in your head until it plays naturally in your head or your mind distorts the lyrics
— it is recommended to sing throughout the day so that this song plays in your head automatically
FOREARM UP METHOD
— lie down and relax
— raise either arm 90° upward so that your elbow rests on the mattress. this is what it will look like. rersonally, i myself raise my hand at the very moment when i begin to lose control of my thoughts. and remember that if you get tired of holding your hand in this position, let go of it and raise the second one instead
— when you fall asleep, your hand drops, which wakes you up. this is a signal that you are already in a state of hypnagogia. you can start affirming or visualizing, but i still advise leaving your hand raised
— put your hand down and let yourself fall asleep
CONSTANT MOTION METHOD
— lie down and relax
— imagine an animal or object that is constantly moving. for example, a running dog, the movement of a pendulum, a flying bird, etc.
COUNTING METHOD
— lie down and relax
— now count in your head until you lose count or have hypnagogic hallucinations. try to visualize the numbers and also focus on their sound in your mind
EYE MOVEMENT METHOD
— lie down and relax
— move your eyes from side to side, simulating eye movement in rem sleep. do it slow or fast, it's up to you. if your eyes are tired, then give them a little rest and start moving them up, down, left, right again
SHIFTING | VOID | MANIFESTATION
HOW TO ENTER THE VOID FROM HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— set the intention to enter the void state. also don’t forget to do this before inducing hypnagogia or waking up in hypnopompia
— try visualizing the void or start affirming: “i am in the void state. i am pure consciousness. i am.”
— feel how your body becomes weightless. imagine that you are floating without a body in total darkness
— if it becomes difficult to control your thoughts, then say the affirmations again with the confidence that you are already in the void. after that, just relax and let yourself fall asleep with a feeling of fulfilled desire
HOW TO SHIFT REALITIES FROM HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— set the intention to shift realities
— visualize your desired reality little by little. imagine sounds, heat or cold, texture of fabric, etc.
— if it’s difficult for you to visualize, then affirm: “i’m in my desired reality. i’m lying on my bed in my desired reality right now”
— do it with confidence that you are in your desired reality
HOW TO MANIFEST WITH HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— affirm what you want with the knowledge and feeling that you already have it. repeat affirmations until you get bored or fall asleep
— or visualize the desire. imagine that you are holding the desired thing in your hand or come up with a short scene that you will loop in your mind
— after that you can turn over on your side and fall asleep
IMPORTANT | TIPS | CREDIT
SYMPTOMS
— do not despair if the symptoms suddenly stop or disappear. on the contrary, it is a signal that you need to continue affirming or visualizing. “i’d love to rip a hole through time, reach back and grab past-me who used to give up after hypnagogia symptoms faded, and slap her, because if my goal was mind awake/body asleep, and i reached the sign that said “hey clo your body is falling asleep while your mind is awake”— why. tf. didn’t i just keep going?”
LAW OF ASSUMPTION
— don't forget the importance of persistence, ignoring 3d and mental dieting. even if your attempt was unsuccessful, this is just a reason to remind yourself that true reality is your imagination, and 3d only reflects 4d. your thoughts, beliefs and assumptions create your 3d reality
— what do you think will happen if after each attempt you say something like “i failed again”, “i’ll try again tonight”, “this method doesn’t work”? it only reinforces your subconscious negative beliefs. please ignore 3d. replace negative thoughts with positive ones. “i successfully entered the void again”, “i shift so easily”, “i did it again!” be persistent in these assumptions
TIPS
— have you ever heard about the tetris effect? “people who have spent a long time at some repetitive activity before sleep, in particular one that is new to them, may find that it dominates their imagery as they grow drowsy, a tendency dubbed the tetris effect”. more details here. the point is that before you induce hypnagogia or hypnopopmia, you need to saturate your mind with the thought, affirmation or short scene that you want to loop in these transitional creatures. read success stories, affirmations, look at mood boards, read scripts, etc. this increases the chance that during hypnagogia or hypnopompia it will automatically pop into your head without effort
— don't forget the importance of intention. here's the best way to set an intention
— try a couple of methods when you wake up in the middle of the night or early in the morning. wbtb works wonders
— if you fall asleep instantly, then put something under your pillow or sit in a recliner chair

Thanks to both of my moots who tagged me in this @buriedbymysins & @dizzy-shifts
Context: Heels like these and hip scarves tied around my waist exactly like that with off shoulder dresses are things I'm known for wearing in my Vampire DR
No pressure tags: @vxn3lla @yuzuj3lly @flowergirlshan @anhelically
and if you need motivation to shift , just think of the little things in your dr . im a very physical girlie so my default is literally burying my head into hobie's shoulder or for his arms to wrap around my waist or vice versa but here are other examples that may or may not apply to you too ... the sound of your s/o's voice saying your name . singing , too , for my s/os who sing . fucking chills . waking up to your s/o preparing your favourite food . their smile when they look at you , with soft eyes or some special glint in their eyes . the little looks and expressions yall share that no one else has . how comfortable their clothes would be ... and how good you'd / they look wearing them . them with wet hair and they look vulnerable :((( iygwim :((((( . sharing a cigarette , a cup , a spoon , whatever passes as an indirect kiss . on accident or on purpose . buying gifts that you know they would like and already anticipating the look on their face . them surprising you after work or school or something with a knowing look on their face . and as always , there's so much fucking more . the little things helps make things feel real . the little things give off such intimacy and trust and vulnerability my chest aches in longing . little things supremacy .
Things I learned in my shifting journey that might be helpful.
your diet, hour of sleep and work schedule doesn't have to be just perfect. It has to change like every few months. Like changing the angle of your bed. Or making personal challenges.
deep searching things. let ur brain be a brain. dont feed ur mind with endless algorithms. Ai and doom scrolling consume ur energy and leaves you drained with nothing special.
WRITING often daily and freely, actually help you to be calmer, clearer and GIVES energy. (Like a shower) it is far more better than constantly trying meditations or subliminals. (it might work for some people. But it will have opposite effect for someone with mental illness or etc)
It's okay to feel passionate and romantise your drs. Just control ur cortisol if it get tm. Even if you sometimes get nightmares it's not always a bad sign.
If some part(details) of your script didn't work in your dr when you shifted, it's because you genuinely didn't believe it. Like you hope it would work if your script it. But no you just need to believe that already exists.
this one is personal but it would be great to try controlling your lucid dreams. All of my long shifts was through using a method in my lucids. (ofc as they say, you can shift without needing to do anything.)
My recent peak was more than five weeks, I had(still have) upgraded lucid dreams every night. There I could READ clearly anything, stay focused, hear my each words, and visit places that felt like I had been there in previous lucids. It had its own backstory. Sometimes I heard music I had never heard in this reality, yet it felt strangely familiar only there. like living the next episode of a show there, that felt yesterday, while here was years ago. (ykwim?) I knew they were just upgraded lucid dreams(is there a name?) Bc one the signs of shifting is you FEEL TOUGHES and remember it.
you already know that there are no limits to scripting whatever you want. When you are scripting for your DR, you simply decide what you want and write it down. You don't overthink it or question whether it will come true or not because you know that once you have shifted, that thing you scripted will happen/has happened. You have already made that assumption.
how is this any different from actually shifting to your DR? you just simply decide you're in your DR. That is it. No fuss. No extra thought to it. You just accept your DR as your new reality. it's like you have "scripted" that you're in your DR. and like scripting, there is no need to overthink it. you've already decided that outcome for yourself and accepted it as true.
If you are a shifter who scripts (which is basically everyone, even if you only script mentally), you have already conditioned yourself to believe that what you script will become your reality. This reality is no different from your DR in that sense. That's why so many people say shifting and manifesting are the same thing. Just as you can script for your DR, you can also script for your CR. So why not use that to your advantage? You can create the rules for your CR the same way you create them for your DR.
if it makes sense for you, make a separate script for your cr and treat it like your dr script. start scripting stuff like 'in this reality, i am a master shifter' 'i have the ability to shift to my drs'. you know the same way you would script 'i have the ability to execute dances well' for your kpop dr or 'i have a high pain tolerance' for your marvel one.
