hello!!! i have been very severely depressed but i just got a crazy new wave of motivation bc i saw a post via a master shifter confirming stuff i’ve been researching and teaching people for years!

also i may or may not have a new main s/o… and main dr… and i have for months now… 🤭

[kitty-kat244]

i need some help from you guys today.

i’m gonna start from the beginning about my personal journey here for the full picture.

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

for years now i’ve gotten lucid and tried to shift from it. i just got my degree in psychology and have focused a lot of in school and personal research on the subconscious and on dreams and i’ve learned a lot about lucid dreaming and for years now i’ve practiced and grown naturally better at it so i’m not sure what’s going wrong.

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

there have been several instances where i’ve become lucid, realized i should shift, then had the intention to and either i stay in my dream, go into a new one, or wake up in my CR.

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

i just woke up and last night at the end of my second to last dream of the night i became lucid. my most successful lucid dream (longest lasting, most control, most vivid) before this one was only a matter of weeks ago and i had forgotten to try and shift so this time i did actually try and did actually remember and carry my intention through but yet? nothing.

i had used a door as a portal. i fell backwards into it saying it’ll lead me to wake up in my dr but i felt my brain threaten to wake up then it just led me into another dream without lucidity.

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

my personal theory is that it’s a few things.

1. i am guilty of feeling bad about not being in my dr yet i don’t ever ever ever actually attempt to shift (when i do my brain is so afraid i end up stuck in a limbo state between awake and asleep)

2. i am terrified of being successful at it and everything that’ll be different there (which is funny because my dr is a lot less scary than this reality)

3. i’ve had this dream so many times and have failed at it that i know deep down i don’t expect it to work since it never has

4. my dr visualization isnt strong enough- i don’t have a strong enough image of where i wanna go and feel my script is “incomplete”

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

i feel like it’s important to note i have OCD which makes this entire thing really difficult…

i just wanna hear from someone who has successfully done this— what’s going wrong?

am i making up all these things that are “wrong” or are these actual common issues?

how do i fix them??

also any just comforting thoughts because this is really hard for me to accept the fact this has happened AGAIN and i’m losing motivation.

girl i'm new to shifting. i saw this post. for a long time, i was very skeptical ab shifting. it feels very unreal to be real but now i want to try it out.

Girlie pop, I am gonna be so honest, I am not going to waste my energy reading some hateful bs 😭

But I was very much the same as you once! I'm a very logical thinker and I love psychology and science. (If you're also like that, I'd recommend @kitty-kat244 's blog, as they center it around how neuroscience supports shifting) However a few things in my life convinced me that I could at least give it a go.

1, Near Death Experience stories:

My sister passed for a few minutes in kindergarten. To this day, now in her 30s, she describes how she saw herself floating above her body and the ethereal feeling of an OBE. On community tabs like askreddit where people have asked what the afterlife is like, a vast majority of people describe the Void state. Nothingness, peace, pureness, feeling like everything and nothing. I don't possibly think ALL of these people are lying given how similarly close they all are to each other. To add to that, the uptick in recent years of stories from people who believe they experienced quantum immortality. People who were somewhere one minute and suddenly they're thrown in a new place inexplicably. I remember seeing a TikTok of a woman who was driving, she had about an hour left in her drive and she saw another car coming for her. Suddenly she had arrived at her destination. It had only been about 10 minutes. She was crying and shaking and very visibly in distress. Sure, it could've been a fabrication, but like the other stories about the void, there's so many of them that I don't think all of them are lies.

2, my best friend entered the void before I knew what it was:

In Highschool, my childhood best friend messaged me one day about a "really weird dream" she had. She described just floating in a white void, feeling like she didn't exist, didn't have a body, with an everlasting sense of calmness and peace. Again, this I now know is what we would call the void state. To this day, she talks about how she wants to "go back".

3, The man who dreamt for 17 years:

This is a story very commonly told throughout the internet and I first heard it in middle school. I'll summarize it, but essentially a man went to bed one night and in his "dream", time flowed the same way, everything was as detailed and fluid as our everyday reality. Everything acted as it did in reality. He met a girl, got married, had children, moved up in his career. Then one day, he noticed something off about his lampshade in the living room. He focused on it and suddenly, he woke up in his bed. He was so devastated about waking up from this "dream" that he needed therapy. He lived for seventeen years in the span of one night. Now this story was everywhere and everyone thought "oh that's so crazy" but when we describe shifting, which is exactly what his story describes, we're called delusional. Personally, I don't care if people think I'm crazy, I just keep it to myself. But the fact that such an incident has been recorded before, people believed it and people, to this day, even make memes about his story? I'm honestly very surprised the shifting community doesn't bring this account up more often, as it's from so long before shifting was known and it lines up so perfectly with our experiences, right down to time ratios.

4, My own childhood beliefs:

When I was young- and I mean, Pre-K young- I distinctly remember wondering and asking my parents, "What if I'm not actually me? What if I just wake up as "me" everyday and I have the memories of the old me?". (Don't ask how I was so philosophical, I think kids are just like that. I know this sounds like bullshit believe me lmao but I'm adding ALL of my personal reasons) Anyways, this is actually a core belief of shifting. That we are constantly shifting through time and timelines that just match up with our beliefs. So you are not the "you" you were yesterday. Does that make sense? I also firmly, firmly believed in the multiverse theory and that everything was real somewhere. I remember making Gravity Falls x LPS Popular crossover videos when I was 10 because, hey, it's probably there somewhere, why not? Crossover episodes on TV certainly didn't cause my belief to waver because look! Timmy Turner is in Jimmy Neutron now! So they both exist separately, simultaneously and together! And I just kinda, applied it to everything. What's real here is fictional in another world and vice versa.

5, last resort:

As the world deteriorates and I grew up, I didn't want to just.. Work a 9-5 until I died. There has to be something more than that. So, after I heard about shifting success stories I decided "fuck it. Either I'll wake up here and carry on with my day or I'll wake up somewhere much more peaceful. Happier. With life and freedoms that I could never imagine in a million years." Many shifters became shifters because they were at their wits end. I see so many people who admit that if they hadn't found shifting, they would have killed themselves. At the end of the day, even if it's "fake", it's given a lot of people hope that things can change in a time that seems to be getting increasingly darker.

Now, I think a lot of us were at one point where you are. "It doesn't seem real, but it's interesting enough to try". "Oh it's cringe, but it does seem enticing". Let yourself be cringe. Shifting is for those who want it all. For those who don't want to slave away for the rest of their lives. For those who can see greener pastures on the other side and wish to hop the fence. Ask yourself this : what truly is there to lose? Our community is very open to those who are simply curious, and we acknowledge that not everyone will be interested in participating in our practice and that's ok too :) Whatever you choose to do, do what makes you happy. You hurt no one by deciding to do something for yourself <3

this is amazing! thanks for the shoutout

[kitty-kat244]

it has to be real. i can’t afford for it not to be…

[kitty-kat244]

guys i’ve been too busy to try to shift or anything and haven’t tried yet the other night i had my first long lasting fully in control lucid dream- i didnt try to shift bc my brain didnt believe it was possible but i DID summon my s/o and ended up just hugging her until i woke up 😭

[kitty-kat244]

what is the reticular activating system and does it relate to shifting?

it’s been a minute!! i’m back!

DISCLAIMER: i am not a neurologist i am a psych student who has studied some neuro in classes and has done personal research. since this is not my exact expertise and i am not a professional on this field, there may be inaccuracies here and there but i am doing my best with what i have learned.

watch this tiktok for more information on this

︶⊹︶︶⠀୨୧⠀︶︶⊹︶

the reticular activating system or RAS is a part of the brain that is responsible for many things that can be related to shifting

one thing it is responsible for is the time between sleep and wakefulness which is a prime time to shift— similar to the state between awake and dreaming. the reasoning is explained here.

︶⊹︶︶⠀୨୧⠀︶︶⊹︶

the RAS helps with pattern recognition and specific focus, (among other things) so if you see a sign or thing that reminds you of shifting or of your dr the RAS will cause you to notice it more than you usually would.

this makes it seem to you like you are seeing more of such thing, but really you’re just becoming aware of it.

imagine you want a specific car: you are gonna start noticing that car more when you see it

this does not mean this is not proof of signs you are close to your dr, because it means this part of your brain is aware of your intention and noticing things that align with it.

︶⊹︶︶⠀୨୧⠀︶︶⊹︶

the RAS is also responsible for filtering sensory stimuli (for example a light might make a buzzing sound in a room and often you won’t hear it at all times because this part of the brain)

this part of the brain being responsible for both sensory filtering and the transition between wakefulness and sleep it is also responsible for stimuli seeping into dreams (which I have a method based on so follow to see that!)

︶⊹︶︶⠀୨୧⠀︶︶⊹︶

normally, sleep starts in non-rem stages, then moves into rem and the rem stage often get longer throughout the duration of the night.

when you are in the third stage of non-rem sleep, which is deep sleep, your senses are temporarily turned off. i believe and have seen it to be true that when you wake up during rem and go back into a dream you become more aware of your senses and what is going on around your body, because you had your senses turned back on when waking and cut out deep sleep so they stay partially on (just my theory)

“During sleep, the reticular thalamic nucleus reduces the flow of sensory activity to the cerebral cortex through inhibition of the thalamus.” this explains that there is an inhibition of sensory activity during sleep, which is heavier during deep sleep.
