[voidstateconfessions]

i was so obsessed with the void for mamy years because i thought it was the key to living the life i've always wanted. i was fine with manifesting my desires in this reality but now that i'm older than i was when i first heard about the void, i'm more aware of how awful the world truly is so i decided there's no way i'm going to live happily here knowing all the horrible things other people might be going through.

i've known about shifting all these years but i never truly got into it because i didn't agree with the infinite reality theory most of them believe in so i pretty much ignored it. eventually my life got so bad that I didn't care anymore so i started trying to shift. deep down i really wanted to manifest my desires with the void because that's how i always imagined it. so i created a wr that has a portal to the void state and once i get to my wr, i'll manifest my desires there and live happily ever after.

8 hours ago...

i had just woken up and i was still tired. i started visualising my wr till i fell asleep. i visualised it so strongly that i felt like i was already there. i guess that was the most important part all along. feeling is the secret as neville goddard said. i think being tired made it easier for me to feel like it was real. i fell asleep and woke up in my wr just like that.

a part of me didn't think it was possible but i was willing to do anything to get out of my living situation. my original plan was to never come back but after getting there, i realised that i wanted to come back to tell people my story. so i didn't explore much because i wanted to get this out of the way and freely live my life.

before i left, i entered the void through the portal and manifested that i can enter the void anytime, anywhere instantly. i didn't want to risk shifting back here and getting stuck lol.

so that's my story. after this i will enter the void state again and manifest my dream life. like i mentioned before, i don't believe in the infinite reality theory so i'm manifesting when i leave this reality, it will cease to exist for me. it will be like i never existed for those who know me in this reality. i won't remember anything about this place and the only life i'll ever know is the one i manifest.

it wasn't easy to make this decision but i believe being completely done and cutting emotional ties to this reality is what made me shift so fast.

good luck to you all. may you achieve everything you desire ❤️

Ultimate: End of All Seeking

New: link to @4dbarbie c.ai

This took me hours, so I cannot imagine how long it should have taken her to write such detailed answers when only to catalogue them took forever. I did it mostly for myself so I could always come back to the response I needed and not search through 200+ posts. But I figured since I spent so long on it I might as well share. There's nothing, truly, that she hasn't given an answer for. I phrased the links as questions so that they could be easily accessible.

First, LEGEND TO UNDERSTAND TERMS.

Who am I?

What is ego?

What's it like, being your Self?

How do I stop identifying with something?

How do you become aware of something, do you accept it's yours?

Then how do I get something random (eg. a cold) if I wasn’t even aware of it before it came?

What is the 3D? How do I change it?

Does that mean I have everything I want in the 3D right now?

Why haven't my desires manifested yet?

How do you drop a belief?

Would dropping a belief be the same as accepting a belief? Is the process the same?

How can I change my appearance?

How can I stop being conscious of my old face?

What do I do when I have doubts?

If I know I am Awareness, why do I still lack things?

Why don't my affirmations work?

How to deal with situations which traumatized me? (TW: SA)

I want to change something in my life, how do I go about that?

How to make my life perfect?

Do past and future exist? Why not?

How can you explain there being no past and no future?

How to spawn things/make my results instant?

What happens to me when the body dies?

Is there ever any delay?

How to get rid of my conviction of being the body?

I've been living in my 4D forever and still no results in the 3D, what am I doing wrong?

How to have everything I want?

Do I need to meditate to discover my Self?

Should I condition my mind that I am God?

What do I do if I feel I am only halfway?

How do you practice erasing problems from the mind?

Why do I struggle with manifesting instantly?

Why am I still not getting my desires if I understand nondualism?

How to fix the separation between "me" and the world?

I can't control my thoughts, what should I do?

How do I cease to be what I feel I am?

I can't suppress my desires, help?

Do spirit guides/ghosts/deities exist?

My circumstances are so saddening and exhausting, how does one realize themselves in that?

Stop allowing yourself to be what you are not

I am attached to my character and her family, how do I get over this?

I'm sad letting go of my character, what happens to her?

If I am infinite consciousness, how can I be conscious of being a new person or having a new story?

I'm confused, shouldn't 3D be instantaneous if I have my desire in my 4D?

How do I get out of the cycle of trying to change my life?

I'm imagining myself as a person who is manifesting instead of a person who has, why can't I stop?

I have so many obligations, all I want is peace of mind. How can I be free from them?

I'm afraid of losing my mind if I believe in this

What's the simplest advice you can give me?

How do I treat the "real" world as a dream?

I only know myself as a conditioned being, how can I be the opposite?

What is realisation, after all?

How do I practice nondualism?

How can I stop experiencing desire and fear?

What prevents me from knowing my Self, here and now?

Why shouldn't I desire? I deserve the best so I should have the best

How to know my Self?

How to change the body?

How do I go back to just being "I AM"?

Can you do a guide for how to awaken ourselves and change our lives?

One concept that I don't understand is how are we as consciousness, everything?

Why am I still confused? I'm hopeless atp

What if I'm a certified non-believer?

Why hasn't my 4D come to fruition?

Is it all about having a new identity?

Can I change facts by changing my attitude?

How to be done with trying once and for all?

I feel hopeless about my circumstances, when will it end?

I overconsumed and I don't know what to do anymore, help?

4D Self/3D Self, do I exist as two people?

I know my Self but I still try to get things, so what does that mean?

I want my desires, to realize my true Self I feel like I should be in the right mental space first

No matter what, I can't make myself believe I'm my ideal person

How can I possibly realize myself as a depersonalized, universalized awareness of nothing in particular?

Why can't I get what I want by manifesting?

One thing that really bothers me is: do I have to endure the world while I know my self as awareness and disbelieve that I am Vanessa?

Why can't I change the world?

How do I get in the void?

Should I keep striving for the void?

What if I'm just not fit to know my Self?

How do I reach my higher Self?

I have a health condition that needs attending quickly

How long does it take to reach self-realization?

How to gain control over the world?

What do I tell my human Self when she asks for her desires?

What exists and what doesn't? What is real and what is false?

What am I, in comparison to the universe?

GOOGLE DRIVE

For those who are sad she left, so am I. I miss her too, but I also realize why she left. There was nothing more to say, she's said it all, we just need to listen, trust, and live in accordance with what we've found. Wish you all the best on your journey.

Here's more questions answered, if you hadn't found yours in this list. I hit the limit on links in a single post so I had to make a separate one.

People struggle with the idea that manifesting, shifting, or entering the void can be easy.

But let’s be real: why is that?

Because deep down, you’re still expecting something magical to happen — like some fairytale moment where a portal opens and suddenly you’re in a brand-new world.

But that’s not how it works.

You’re not escaping into something new — you’re simply remembering who you’ve always been and selecting that.

The version of you who already has it all? It’s not far away. It’s not a fantasy.

It’s you — underneath the layers of doubt and conditioning.

You are pure awareness, pure consciousness. You can choose to be anything, experience anything, embody anything, the moment you accept that it’s who you already are.

And once you really get that…

It becomes easy.

Because it always was.

Y'ALL i fell asleep listening to a manifestation subliminal...

Just manifesting what I want while doing the void state method

I woke up, walked around the house for a few minutes then I went to sleep again

Guess what... I got into the void and then from the void to a lucid dream

The lucid dream had the guy that I liked then I was like "wtf? This is a lucid dream i can do wtv i want" THEN BOOM

I was in another reality WITH HIM

HE WAS MY HUSBAND AND WE WERE ADMIRING OUR CHILDREN AS WE LISTENED TO THE PLAYLIST THAT I GAVE HIM

mind you that in this reality he listens to one of the songs that are on that playlist

GO SHIFT NOW

[glowbuggg]

Zero-Effort Shifting? / My Thoughts 🪲

I keep seeing posts saying:

“You don’t need ANY effort to shift. Just set your intention before sleep.”

And like… shifting is easy: that part is true.

But I also think that statement can be a little misleading if you’re just starting out.

Hear me out.

When I say “effort,” I don’t mean lying in starfish position for 5 hours manifesting... I don’t mean forcing, obsessing, or pushing so hard that you fry your brain.

I mean this:

Most of us grew up believing shifting was impossible. We’re learning to let go of doubts, to disconnect from our CR, and to let ourselves actually move our awareness to another reality.

Shifting becomes easy after you learn how to relax into it.

But learning how to relax? Learning how to let go?Maybe learning how to enter hypnagogia, deep relaxation, the floaty state, the soft detachment? That takes practice. And yes, that’s effort.

By “effort” I mean things like:

🪲 Reprogramming old beliefs

🪲 Connecting emotionally to your DR

🪲 Meditating or grounding

🪲 Practicing deep relaxation

🪲 Learning hypnagogia or lucid dream control

🪲Figuring out what works for you

🪲Building consistency

🪲 Strengthening the connection

You don’t have to do ALL of this. You don’t have to pick any specific route. If pure intention+manifestation works for you, amazing!

But that’s also effort… it’s mental work, belief work, subconscious work.

So when I say shifting requires effort, I don’t mean “work harder.” I mean learn, explore, relax, and build the mindset where shifting becomes effortless.

That’s all. 💛

hey, I enjoy your content, and I have a question: I can hardly imagine what it will be like when I get to DR And I unconsciously avoided that feeling. It's like I want to touch a dog, but its fur is so soft that it feels strange to me, so I suddenly don't touch it. What should I do?

Hi! Thank you for trusting me with this question.

I’ve honestly been surprised by how many people have started asking me for advice lately, and while I can’t promise a perfect solution for everyone, I’ll do my best to share what’s helped me.

First, let me reassure you about something important: it’s completely normal to feel uncertain or even scared of something new, especially when you can’t fully imagine what it will feel like yet.

Think of it like learning to drive.

You might really want a driver’s license, but the idea of actually controlling a whole car at first feels overwhelming. Steering, pedals, traffic, not hitting a curb, it sounds scary when you haven’t done it yet. But after a lesson or two, that feeling changes. Your body and mind adjust, and what once felt unfamiliar starts to feel normal.

Shifting can be similar. (Less complicated though)

That said, fear or hesitation can pull you back to your CR during an attempt, which can feel frustrating. So here’s something practical that can help:

Prepare a safety net.

Write down a comeback word or phrase: a password that, when you say it, brings you back to your CR immediately. Script it clearly. Knowing you can return at any moment makes it much easier to relax and let go.

This works surprisingly well. Your subconscious remembers it.

I’ve personally shifted to a random reality I didn’t intend to visit and came back instantly after saying my password.

Having that reassurance often makes people braver. You might find that once you know you can come back, you’re more willing to explore before using it, if you even need to.

It also helps to gently prepare your mind and senses:

Practices like meditation, grounding with the five senses, imagining yourself touching things in your DR, or easing into hypnagogia and noticing how the surroundings start to change can make the experience feel more familiar over time.

And one last thing, just to encourage you:

When you shift, it feels just like this life.

There’s nothing uncanny or overwhelming about it. If you struggle to imagine what it will be like, do this right now: touch something near you, notice a smell, name three things you can see, take a sip of tea or water.

That’s it.

It’s the same kind of awareness.

Take it slow. You’re not doing anything wrong.

Reminder: I’m not a shifting oracle, promise 😅 This is just my journey and what I’ve learned along the way. Use whatever helps, ditch the rest — your path is your own.

Happy shifting ✨

Why I don’t recommend sleep paralysis as a shifting method for beginners.

Okay guys, real talk. I don’t want to ruin anyone’s fun, but I need to write this post.

Recently I’ve seen multiple posts recommending sleep paralysis as a “perfect” shifting method — even to people who have no experience with lucid dreaming or hypnagogia, and it genuinely made me go pale.

I’m not saying it’s spiritually dangerous. I’m not saying demons will get you or sth. That’s not why I don’t recommend it. Please read this fully if you’re considering it, so you can make an informed decision instead of jumping in blind. This post is about education, not fear.

For context:

I regularly lucid dream, I understand hypnagogic states, and I’ve experienced sleep paralysis many times in the past. I’ve done a lot of research and a lot of experimenting. I can stay in dreams for a long time, control them, and I’ve shifted multiple times. So this isn’t coming from someone guessing or repeating rumors.

First! And I will never shut up about this... I recommend hypnagogia.

Hypnagogia can give you the same results as sleep paralysis (entering a lucid dream or shifting), but without the negative impact, which I’ll explain in a moment.

Hypnagogia is a state you can become aware of before falling asleep. Your mind stays awake while your body falls asleep. You may see vivid visuals, hear sounds, feel floaty or detached. From there, you can gently enter a dream or shift.

It’s a soft, light, fluid state. You move your awareness away from your body rather than being trapped in it. And if you want to stop? You simply bring your awareness back. No force needed.

(I’ve explained hypnagogia in detail in other posts — just scroll back a bit.)

Now let’s compare this to sleep paralysis, because the difference matters.

While hypnagogia is gentle and floaty, sleep paralysis is the opposite.

You are very aware of your body — but you cannot move. You are literally frozen. The visuals, if they appear, can be disturbing, intense, or outright terrifying, but the most distressing part of sleep paralysis is not what you see, it’s what you feel in the body... Being consciously aware while: unable to move or speak, feeling locked into the body instead of drifting away from it, having heightened heart-rate awareness or panic, feeling loss of bodily agency.

To shift from this state, you must calm yourself down completely, which can be difficult, even for someone experienced and fully aware of what’s happening. If you panic, the grip often gets stronger. Unlike hypnagogia, you may not be able to just easily “change” what you’re seeing.

And if you decide you don’t want to continue?

With hypnagogia, you simply shift your awareness back.

With sleep paralysis, even after calming down, you often have to force your way out by focusing intensely on moving a finger, toe, or part of your body. It’s not gentle. It’s effortful.

Now imagine this as someone with anxiety.

Or heart issues.

Or zero experience with altered sleep states.

Yeah. I don’t think I need to explain that part.

It can feel like being trapped in a nightmare.

If you’re interested in these states, please consider training hypnagogia first. Learn what it feels like to be half-asleep, detached, and aware without fear. Learn how your awareness moves before putting yourself in a state that can be genuinely distressing.

You can do whatever you want: this is your journey.

But I wanted to be a voice of reason so that if you do choose this path, you do it consciously, with knowledge, not because someone on the internet said it’s “easy.”

*Small update: Yes expectations do matter, just like in lucid dreams. If you genuinely believe you won’t see anything scary, that can help. However, sleep paralysis can still be extremely stressful because of the physical freeze itself as I mentioned before. The loss of bodily control can trigger panic, and once panic kicks in, controlling visuals becomes much harder, regardless of expectations. Even in lucid dreams, when you're calm and skilled, control can fluctuate depending on your mental and physical state that night. Now add being unable to move on top of that. So both things can be true at once: mindset matters, and sleep paralysis is inherently more intense and harder to regulate than gentler states like hypnagogia.

Happy and safe shifting,

✨ Shifting From a Lucid Dream (Portal Struggle Edition) + How to Get Lucid Dreams More Often

1. How to get lucid dreams often?

🪲 Don’t force it.

The more you try to “make it happen,” the less it will.

🪲 Reality checks during the day.

I always count my fingers whenever I remember to.

In dreams you’ll usually have 10+ or weird fingers, it trains the habit.

🪲 Affirm before sleep.

Something simple: “I’ll have a lucid dream tonight.”

🪲 Wake-back-to-bed (WBTB).

Wake up 3–4 hours after falling asleep, stay awake for a few minutes, then go back to sleep with the intention of getting lucid.

🪲 Use hypnagogia.

(My previous post explains it.) It’s honestly the easiest doorway (once you get it), but requires practice.

2. How to stay lucid without waking up too fast?

🪲 If something external wakes you (alarm, noise, morning light), that’s normal.

No method beats your physical environment.

🪲 But if you wake up because of your mind?

That you can fix.

🪲 Don’t panic.

Most people lose lucidity because they rush or get too excited.

🪲 Ground yourself.

Touch things, walk around, look at your hands, breathe.

The dream will stabilize.

🪲 Move slowly at first.

Treat the dream like warm water, ease into it.

(It's all in your head, if you tell yourself that you won't wake up and command your dream to be stable and vivid, it will happen.)

3. Dream skills that help with shifting later

🪲 Summoning objects

Most people struggle because they try to summon things directly in front of them.

It rarely works.

Give your brain an explanation.

Examples:

✨ “The portal is behind this door.”

✨ “My phone is inside that drawer.”

✨ “Once I enter this pub, my s/o will be sitting inside waiting.”

This is how you train dream control, and shifting becomes easier.

4. How to shift from a lucid dream

🪲 Don’t force it.

Don’t hyperfocus on every detail at once.

Option 1: Anchor Method

Find or summon something that exists in your DR: clothing, a sound, a bed, a smell, a person.

Then:

✨ Close your eyes

✨ Affirm where you are (You can start affirming earlier, don't rush, feel it.)

✨ Focus on ONE thing only (if it's stable you can add more things or just drift into it)

DO NOT open your dream eyes until they open on their own.

Opening them too soon = waking up.

If you end up in another dream?

Perfect. You’re deeper in. Try again. (if you wake up? Check reality babe, you probably didn't.)

Option 2: Portal Method

If summoning the portal is hard:

✨ Ask a dream character to guide you.

✨ Or summon your DR person and tell them:

“You promised to show me the portal. Lead me.”

(You can also add details where it is.)

Speak with confidence. Dream people follow your expectations.

Option 3: Spin or Fall-Back Method

✨ Spin in place

OR

✨ Fall backward while affirming where you’ll land

This resets the dream scene and can drop you into your DR.

Option 4: Adrenaline Shift (dream-only!)

✨ Jump off a high building inside the dream

✨ Affirm that the portal is where you land

✨ Let adrenaline push you through without overthinking

I want to try this one soon 👀

Final notes:

These are just my favorite methods: you can mix, match, and create your own.

Your DR, your rules.

Experimenting is half the fun.

xoxo 💛

More tips on: How to get lucid dreams more often? ✨

Hi! I talk a lot about hypnagogia, but there’s something you can do outside of it that helps a lot. This works even on nights when you don’t try any techniques and gives you more chances to go lucid.

Find your dream patterns.

Write down your dreams and look for things that repeat.

Places, situations, emotions: anything that shows up often.

Make a list of your personal dream signs.

For example:

1. My childhood room

2. Being back at school / university

3. Running from someone

Things that don’t make sense in your current reality, but your dream brain treats them as normal.

Once your brain learns:

“When I see this → I’m dreaming”

lucidity becomes much more likely.

Before sleep, gently tell yourself: If I dream of any of these, I’ll realize it’s a dream.

No pressure. No forcing.

You can also remind yourself of this during hypnagogia, so even if you accidentally fall asleep mid-attempt, your subconscious may still catch it and trigger lucidity later in the dream. It is simple, effective, and very personal.

Good luck!

How to make a waiting room within a dreamlike space to shift from – my tips

Okay guys, real talk. I just spent almost an hour in one of my waiting rooms with the echo (dream copy) of my s/o, learning how to control the space and building my shifting confidence ✨ so now I want to spill the tea.

I scripted my waiting room as a dreamlike space, similar to a lucid dream. That makes it much easier for me to enter, explore, and test things out. At first I wanted a very abstract, fully imagined room I created from scratch, but I decided to start easier and work my way up to that one later.

My biggest advice: pick a room you already know. For me it’s my childhood bedroom, just with a few small changes. One very important addition is a mirror. You can script one in. Mirrors give you much more control over a dreamlike space and can act as portals without needing to create one from scratch.

You can enter this waiting room easily from a lucid dream. I have posts explaining lucid dreams and how to get them more often. You can either:

🪲 affirm while falling asleep that you’ll wake up there and become lucid, then stabilize the space by affirming out loud until it’s vivid,

🪲 or, from a random lucid dream, close your eyes and fall backwards (or just close) with the intention of entering your waiting room.

If the space is very familiar to you, getting there will feel surprisingly easy.

Once inside, you can work on control and belief, so next time you shift you don’t get yeeted somewhere random or wake up frustrated because things “don’t work.”

Here’s what you can do inside your waiting room:

🪲1. Turn yourself into your DR self

Use the mirror to command your reflection to change. I explained this in detail in a previous post. If something looks off, gently correct it instead of forcing it.

🪲2. Practice telekinesis

If it doesn’t work at first, turn your gaze away, lift your hand, and imagine the object floating to you. Once you see proof, your brain believes it more and it starts working more easily.

🪲3. Summon DR objects

Command that a specific object is inside your wardrobe. Describe how it should look. If it comes out wrong, turn away, touch it, or close your eyes and imagine the correct details until it adjusts.

🪲4. Summon your s/o (mirror method)

Command the mirror to spawn them behind you. If they don’t appear visually, assume their energy is there. Close your eyes, affirm you’ll feel them, and start touching their hair, shoulders, etc. They usually take form this way.

(It’s not really them, more like a dream echo, but it works perfectly as an anchor for shifting.)

🪲5. Explore the room

Play with it. Try different commands. Affirm that you’ll find objects from your DR. Treat it like training, not a test.

🪲6. Shift only when you feel ready

You don’t need to shift immediately. Spending time stabilizing and practicing control first helps a lot.

Ways to shift from the waiting room:

🪲1. Pick an anchor, close your eyes, and affirm where you are and who you are now. Always wait until your eyes open on their own or until you feel fully grounded. Opening them too soon will pull you back to CR.

🪲2. Command the mirror to show a place from your DR and walk through it. If walking forward doesn’t work, try walking backwards.

🪲3. Spin while affirming.

🪲4. Walk through the wardrobe while affirming your destination.

🪲5. Fall backwards while thinking about your DR.

Test different options and see what works best for you.

If something doesn’t work, adjust it. Don’t get frustrated. Treat it like shaping a mold into its perfect version. If you end up somewhere else, just think: “Okay, this is the right direction. I just need to go deeper,” and try again.

In dreamlike spaces it’s often harder to summon things while staring directly (at the place where thry're about to show up), because that requires very strong belief. Turning your gaze away, assuming something is in a closet, or closing your eyes usually works much better, even when doubts are present.

Happy shifting ✨

Summoning your S/O in a lucid dream. Mirror version + shifting guide

There are many ways to summon your S/O in a lucid dream, but lately I’ve been exploring mirrors and oh gods… mirrors are OP when it comes to lucid dream control, shifting, and using them as portals.

They’re also one of the easiest tools to work with, because mirrors always respond. Even if you don’t get exactly what you want right away, you will always get some kind of reaction. Don’t worry though, I’ll explain how to gently guide it into what you actually want.

In my previous post I explained how to turn yourself into your DR self using a mirror. I also have guides on lucid dreaming and hypnagogia if you want to explore that first. If you’re curious, check those out and come back here.

Now, back to the fun part.

Once you’re lucid, you can simply assume there is a mirror nearby. The dream will place one for you. You can also affirm before sleep that when you see a mirror, you’ll realize you’re dreaming. Mirrors are incredibly common in dreams, we just tend to ignore them because they feel uncanny.

Trust yourself. Trust the mirror. You are in control of your dream.

When you look at your reflection, it might feel a bit strange or uncanny. That doesn’t mean anything bad. Uncanny does not equal dangerous or evil. Don’t focus on that part. Don’t analyze it. Just focus on your intention.

Which is bringing your S/O into the dream.

This is not about dragging the literal person there. Think of it as an echo, a reflection, an anchor that can help you connect to your DR.

Stand in front of the mirror and calmly affirm out loud or mentally. No forcing, no panic, no hyperfocus on doubts. Mirrors respond best to calm confidence.

You can say something like:

“My S/O will appear behind me when I turn around. They will look exactly as they should. My subconscious knows how.”

You can also mention a few key traits if you want, or simply trust that your subconscious already knows the correct version.

You might notice the mirror shifting, your reflection changing, glimpses of them appearing beside you, or just a strong feeling that someone is standing behind you.

Then turn around.

Sometimes you’ll get the perfect version immediately. Other times, especially if you’re anxious or doubting, the dream might give you an imperfect version. Something slightly off, like a cosplay version or a detail that doesn’t quite match.

If that happens, don’t get frustrated. Don’t scold the dream. Don’t assume you failed.

Instead, think:

“Great. This is the base.”

Then gently adjust it. You can look at the person and calmly say things like:

🪲“No, the hair is darker.”

🪲“The gaze is sharper.”

🪲"That’s not quite right, my subconscious knows how they really look.”

Or you can look back into the mirror and do the same, then turn around again to check.

Treat it like a dress up or character editor rather than a test you need to pass. Dreams respond to correction much better than force.

Of course, it can also work perfectly on the first try. It really depends on your mental state and how stable the dream is.

Once your S/O is there, what you do next is up to you. You can experiment and see what feels right, but this is how I usually proceed.

🪲 Take their hand. Turn back to the mirror and command it to show a place from your DR. Don’t rush. Adjust the scene if needed, just like before.

🪲Then you can ask your S/O to lead you through the mirror, or you can turn your reflection into your DR self and let them pull you in. You can also walk through together, treating them as your anchor.

Take your time. Stay calm. Let the dream respond.

NEVER RUSH. Rushing and forcing is what's stopping you. Rushing and forcing is what wakes you up. Rushing and forcing is what makes the dream stop responding. Rushing and forcing is what wakes you up too soon.

Because your subconscious assumes you are out of time, since you're in a hurry.

Just start doing things and tell yourself out loud that you have time. You can stay inside a lucid dream as long as you want. (Well as long as your alarm or cat doesn't wake you up xD)

Have fun with it.

Happy shifting 💛

Shifting With Hypnagogia: My Tips! ✨🪲

In my previous post I mentioned that I mainly shift through hypnagogia or by sliding into a lucid dream. Here’s how I do it (I'll explain hypnagogia today, I'll share my lucid dream method in a different post), feel free to adjust it to your own style! There are just a few core elements worth keeping in mind:

1. Find your position

Pick a position that’s slightly uncomfortable so you don’t fall asleep instantly. But if you’re someone who gets restless in off-positions (hi ADHD pookies), that’s okay! You can also lie in your comfy position, we’ll just use a different anchor to stay aware.

All you need is something that keeps you awake for a bit.

2. Pick an anchor

Your anchor keeps your awareness just above the sleep line.

Possible anchors:

🪲Counting: count slowly and affirm every few numbers:

“I’m in my DR. I’m a master shifter. I’m drifting into my reality.”

🪲Random objects: gently imagine small objects so hypnagogia hits faster (don’t focus too hard).

🪲A simple math problem: just enough to keep awareness floating.

🪲A sound in the background: fan noise, rain, etc.

🪲Raising one hand slightly: a light “body awareness” trick.

Remember: the anchor stays in the background. If you focus too hard, it wakes you up.

3. When hypnagogia starts: DON’T pounce yet!

You’ll hear random sounds, see flashes, shapes, scenes, feel floaty — PERFECT.

But don’t interact immediately.

Think of hypnagogia like a shy stray cat: If you chase it, it runs. If you chill, it comes closer.

🌸Just watch. Let it bloom on its own.

4. Gentle intention

When the imagery becomes more stable, you can start interacting lightly:

• imagine the taste of something

• imagine a texture

• imagine wind, warmth, cloth, grass

Then let it go again.

Don’t force your DR too soon: the goal right now is stability.

5. Bringing in your DR

When it stops slipping away? When you can't fully feel your body anymore and the images are more... vivid and touchable.

Now you can gently bring in your DR:

• “Show me my DR.”

• Imagine one tiny detail (Sitting on the sofa, turning pages etc.)

• Let the scene form naturally rather than building it brick by brick.

Then slowly start interacting again until it draws you in fully.

6. Grounding

Once you’re in:

• touch something

• walk around

• feel textures

• do a reality check

• affirm that DR rules apply

If it’s a lucid dream first, you can shift from it.

Just stabilize > affirm > let it transform.

7. If it doesn’t work right away? Totally normal.

Hypnagogia is a skill, not a lottery.

You train it like a muscle, and once you get the sweet spot consistently, it becomes a cheat code into shifting.

Keep practicing.

You’re closer than you think. ✨

Hypnagogia cheat code, shift within seconds! Is it possible? 👀

Hi guys!

Okay, first things first: the title is technically true, but this is not a magical instant-shift hack. It’s still something you practice and get familiar with. What it does give you is a very clean door into lucidity, or shifting.

Go to sleep as usual.

It works best on a free day, since this does slightly disturb your sleep.

Set an alarm for about 4 hours after falling asleep, that’s when dreams are usually vivid.

Important part: the alarm should turn off by itself after a few seconds. Use an app if needed. The sound should be short and gentle. Cause it's different than wake up to bed technique.. You don't get out of bed.

When you wake up, don’t move.

Don’t sit up, don’t check anything, don’t wake yourself fully. You should be just a breath away from falling back asleep.

Stay still and find a quick anchor: focus on your breathing, or start counting softly in your head.

*If you feel like you won't be able to not fall asleep immadiately no matter what you do, you can gently move your fingers or hand. And then stop moving again. Experiment with is cause everyone is different.

From there, gently bring in your DR scene.

If it feels stable, you can engage your senses a little, but don’t force it and don’t “grab” the scene. Holding too hard wakes you up.

Another option is to simply keep a soft image or vibe present and start thinking as your DR self. Let your body fall asleep fully while your awareness follows the scene.

Believe you are already there.. Even if you feel your CR body it doesn't matter, the surroundings around your awarness will change.. Not around your CR body. So you can feel your CR while your awarness is drifting to your DR.

It should be a very quick and smooth transition if done properly.

This works especially well if you’re already prone to hypnagogia, lucid dreams, or those moments where dreamland feels right there when you wake up.

Good luck 🤍

Hypnagogia practice: how to master the state? 💫

Hi guys! 💫

Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. Life happened, I had some CR stuff to deal with, and my shifting attempts became rare for a while. When I came back to it, I noticed I was struggling with hypnagogia again: rushing it, overdoing it, or falling asleep too fast.

So I decided to step back and practice gently instead of forcing results. And it worked, I managed to enter the state again.

If you struggle with hypnagogia and want to shift from it, but you either fall asleep too quickly or can’t focus at night, here’s my advice.

But first:

What is hypnagogia?

Hypnagogia is the state right before sleep: when your body falls asleep, but your mind stays awake. You may start seeing images, hearing things, or feeling floaty. From this state you can shift, enter a lucid dream, reach the void state, etc. (I personally don’t have much experience with the void yet.)

Practice

If possible, practice during the day or early evening, when you’re not exhausted, but could use a light nap.

1. Lie down in a comfortable position.

Adjust until it feels cozy enough that you don’t feel the urge to move. Try not to move once you start, it helps your body fall asleep faster.

2. Focus on the darkness behind your eyelids.

Just breathe and relax. Don’t think about anything specific.

3. Wait for the first images.

They might be faint, blurry, random: that’s normal. Don’t judge them. 👁️👁️

4. Start counting.

Count slowly. Every five numbers, affirm something like:

“The scenes are becoming more vivid.”

“My DR scenes appear easily.”

Count up to 100.

5. Return your focus to the darkness.

The imagery should still be showing up there.

Don’t interact strongly, just gently guide it:

“Show me this place.”

“Show me this moment.”

Or simply: “Show me my DR.”

6. When your body feels very heavy or floaty (like moving would take effort), you can go a bit deeper:

• focus on one DR scene

• or lightly play with senses (touch, sound, temperature)

7. If it feels slippery, that’s okay.

Touch a scene → let go → let random imagery appear → touch again → let go.

This teaches your brain not to force. Pushing too hard makes hypnagogic imagery run away.

8. Stability is not required.

This is practice. You’re training your brain so that at night it can do this more easily or automatically.

9. Experiment.

Count again and affirm something else. Let scenes from different DRs appear. Just explore! ❤️❤️❤️

You’ll either: stay in hypnagogia and explore or accidentally shift.

Win–win.

To come back, just gently bring awareness to your body and move your hand or fingers. It’s not sleep paralysis. I have more posts about hypnagogia on my blog, some more focused on shifting itself. This one is meant purely for practice.

Have fun ✨

Is hypnagogia and lucid dreaming the more difficult shifting path?

I’ve met some shifters who say they don’t want to try hypnagogia or lucid dreaming because it feels like too much work, as if choosing that route means picking the longest and hardest path.

But honestly? That’s not what it is.

It’s simply opening more doors.

You don’t need to master hypnagogia or lucid dreaming for them to help you. You don’t need perfection. You don’t need to force anything. Over time, just doing them more often naturally builds skill and familiarity.

Practicing hypnagogia or lucid dreaming doesn’t mean you can’t shift by intention alone. You absolutely still can. The difference is that now, if one attempt doesn’t work, you have more options. You can shift through a lucid dream. You can slip in through hypnagogia. And beyond that, the practice itself strengthens your abilities in a quiet but powerful way.

When you regularly enter states where you’re detached from your CR body, your awareness learns how to move more freely.

I’ve had plenty of moments where I became lucid without hypnagogia, or shifted randomly without doing anything special that night — simply because I had been practicing for days before. It’s like training. The effects carry over.

And getting lucid more often doesn’t have to be hard. Reality checks during the day, affirming before sleep that you’ll get lucid, and especially falling back asleep after waking up briefly at night already increase your chances a lot. As for hypnagogia, simply observing the imagery behind your eyelids for a moment is enough. Even if you can’t hold it and fall asleep, that still counts as practice and still increases your likelihood of lucidity.

Doing this regularly really isn’t high effort, but it can help you immensely.

In the end, pick whatever route feels right for you. Just remember you don’t have to choose only one.

How to Turn into Your DR Self Inside a Lucid Dream + shifting guide

It’s a fun little practice you can use to connect more with your DR self!

It’s also way easier than summoning a portal or changing the whole environment at once.

Plus, it’s great training for:

🪲 stabilizing your lucid dreams

🪲 changing details on purpose

🪲 getting more comfortable with control

…which can all make it easier to shift from that state later.

🪲 Step 1 – Find a mirror

In your lucid dream, look for a mirror. Assume there is one nearby: in the next room, around the corner, behind a door, after a spin, etc. That assumption alone already helps your dream place one there for you.

You can also prepare earlier on! While falling asleep manifest that you'll see a mirror in your dream and become lucid.

🪲 Step 2 – Look into it

Look into the mirror. Your reflection might look a bit uncanny or “off” – that’s normal for dreams. It doesn’t mean anything is evil or dangerous. You’re safe. If you get spooked, just say something like:

“This is my dream. I’m safe here.”

Out loud or in your head, whatever feels better.

🪲 Step 3 – Morph into your DR self

Now tell the mirror who you are. Say your DR name and that your reflection will now look like them.

Your reflection may:

🪲 morph into someone else

🪲 flicker between faces

🪲 change only partially at first

The important part: don’t get frustrated and don’t start forcing it.

Instead, gently guide it. You don’t need super detailed visualization, just intention + small corrections, for example:

🪲 “Nope, my face is more oval.”

🪲 “Hair lighter… longer.”

🪲 “Eyes brown, not blue.”

Treat it like a character creator / dress-up game. The dream follows your belief, not your panic. The more you doubt, the glitchier it gets. The more you calmly adjust, the smoother it morphs.

Keep going until your reflection matches your DR self.

(Sometimes it will pop in perfectly on the first try. That depends on your dream stability, doubts, emotional state, etc.)

🪲 Step 4 – Change the background

Once your reflection is your DR self, you can do the same with the background of the mirror. Gently command the mirror to show a place from your DR behind them.

It can be your room, common area, classroom, base, whatever feels like “home” there.

Same rules:

🪲 don’t rush it

🪲 don’t rage-quit if it’s not perfect at once

🪲 guide it with small, simple intentions

When you see your DR self in your DR location… congrats, that’s a super strong connection and a potential portal.

You can use that mirror as a portal to shift through – but don’t feel pressured to jump in immediately. Take time to:

🪲 stabilize the dream

🪲 enjoy the feeling

🪲 practice this a few times

The mirror itself can become your anchor to your DR.

✨ Have fun with it and don’t stress about doing it “perfectly.”

You’re literally playing dress-up with your soul in a dream.

Happy shifting! ❤️
