me: in a bad mood

what I'm gonna tell my family: I just didn't get enough sleep

the real reason: I woke up in a wrong reality

Have you ever fully shifted before? If you have where did you shift to? (only if you want to answer lol-)

[thank you for this ask!]

yes, i actually have fully shifted before! {I'm getting flashbacks now 😃😃}

a total of 5 times (fully), and around 3-5 mini-shifts, if I'm remembering things correctly. I've mentioned them all in my earlier posts. if you want to check them out, here they are: part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4. trigger warning, though: part 1 and 2 have blood, gore, and violence. i think it also applies to part 4, but it’s not as explicit.

I’m planning on shifting to naruto and harry potter! i might also consider making a game of thrones/asoiaf DR soon.

Anyone else ever feel like they're stuck in the wrong world? Like your soul is forced to live in the wrong reality?

Getting some…not so pleasant intrusive thoughts that I’ll shift to the wrong reality and my intentions will make it so I can’t shift back and I’m really scared 😱

[thank you for this ask!]

it's completely alright to have some doubts about shifting, but you shouldn't let them overtake you! as someone who's accidentally shifted to the wrong reality a couple times before...well, i mean, they weren't the best experiences to deal with, but they were definitely something.

personally, I'm not really sold on the idea of permanent shifting, but i do think that your consciousness won't bring you to a place where you won't be able to come back from. it's made to suit you, so it knows everything that you like and/or fear. it can bring you to somewhere you don't want, but ultimately, you are the one in control, and you won't get stuck.

and it's alright to be scared as well! again, just don't let your fear consume you whole. I've had my own share of hesitance regarding shifting at the start, but that didn't stop me from actually doing so.

have a fun journey! ❤️

Excerpt #55

Casey dropped his keys as he tried to open the gate. Instead of floundering and bending over to pick them up he just stared. Not at the keys but at the lock where they had just been. Michael waited and then chimed in.

“Casey. Are you ok?” Casey just stared at the lock and eventually spoke.

“This place is wrong.” He said, emotionlessly.

“Wrong?” asked Michael. “Here is wrong?” He asked.

“No. This reality. I’m not in my reality. This is not my reality.” Said Casey quickly. Michael began to laugh.

“Oh is that a fact?” he said, still smiling. Casey turned and glared at him.

“Don’t you fucking give me that. This lock, my lock, the lock to my house… It turns the wrong way. ” It was Michael’s turn to stare now.

“What do you…” he said before being quickly cut off. “You turn keys counterclockwise or clockwise.” he said, aggravated

“My house is and always has been a counterclockwise.” He pointed at the lock.

“This is not the lock to my house. It turns clockwise to unlock.” Michael began to speak but was once again was cut short.

“And not just this one. The doors at work, in pubs or Lisa next door’s patio door…” He paused as Michael studied him, confused.

“They… they all turn the wrong way. This…” he paused again, this time looking directly into his friend’s eyes.

“This is not my reality. I’m in the wrong reality.” Casey said frantically. He grabbed Michael and shook him as he shouted at him.

“I’M IN THE WRONG REALITY!!!”

What if

False awakenings were just us waking up in the wrong reality.
