can you give me some tips to lucid dream? btw i cant set alarms for the middle of the night 💔
ever since I mastered lucid dreaming my dreams have started to get more vivid and tangible
sometimes it doesnt let me control my dream but i am aware im dreaming so really anchor urself and dont get too excited or youll wake up
if you cannot set alarms:
My tip is to think HARD about it before falling asleep or in between sleepness and wake you will think hard about a place you really want to go to/a person/a scenario, after sleeping your dream will either be that place or another (both is good)
why?
what usually happens for me is when i get transported to another place the mind will immediately get conscious and say "wait im not supposed to be here or oh a dream" and if u managed to get to that place successfully you will get the same results just positive feedback "yay im here"
-set a standard that indicates ur in a dream to make u mutter "this isnt (place)" "where is (person)?"
-basically a wake up call in ur dream
-be calm and affirm while in ur lucid dream
-if bad things starts to happen just know that ur in a dream
-do reality checks after being aware and ground yourself by focusing on objects around you
-REALLY really think about it before falling asleep (to be honest works best when u wake up naturally in the middle of the night and sleep again)
-imagine how your dreams would morph if u have given the chance to manipulate it (closing your eyes and let it change is best) this is important because some dreams dont obey and rely on your vision and cant act sometimes so you have to make wishes with your eyes closed
(this is from purely experience as i lucid every night, sometimes i dont control my dream scenarios but just add things with me like people, powers and objects)
stop judging people for not wanting to interact with people who have the same s/o!!!!!!!! no i don't want to bond over dating the same person????? if i'm not in a poly relationship with both of you i don't want to see you with them?????? is it so hard to understand??????? jesus christ i thought shiftblr was supposed to be better than shiftok
and for the people who want to purposefully misunderstand, this isn't saying that i don't want anyone else to shift for that person — post what you want I ! DON'T ! CARE ! but i probably won't be interacting????
(my s/o dni only counts for jay, i don't mind for other partners)
(ii) ⋆ the blunt reason why you "haven't shifted" is more comforting than you think, and you need to hear it.
i'm sure shifting can feel frustrating, especially when you sit down for an attempt and don't see any tangible signs that you're getting closer or making real progress. so i'm here to reassure you and hopefully offer some better insight into your own shifting journey.
these are patterns i've noticed across my own attempts, particularly my most successful ones, based on reflections i've done through tarot readings to gain a deeper understanding of what's really happening on the spiritual side of things during a shifting attempt through the help of higher power. from those readings, i've been able to identify some potential key themes and ideas around what actually makes an attempt successful, what doesn't, and what truly muddies your ability to shift.
long read. sorry. but it's worth it guys. i love long posts. remember do your own research take this post as a suggestion !
what makes a successful attempt?
and here's where i think the real nuance comes in. we typically define a successful attempt as fully shifting your awareness and grounding yourself in your dr. but i'm here to change your perspective on what a successful attempt actually is. there is no such thing as a failed shifting attempt. the moment you decide to lay down, whether it's a wake method or a sleep method and you set that intention to shift, the shifting experience begins immediately. in that moment, you are already connecting with dr self. you are already doing everything right. the second you set the intention and engage your intentions on shifting, the shift is happening and unraveling. you are literally shifting, whether you believe it or not (thus you can shift with doubts). just like anyone else you see online, anyone you follow, anyone whose experiences you hear about, when you decide to set that intention spiritually, the shift occurs. because it's your power and your decision.
these factors aren't what's making your attempts fail. they're not signs that nothing is working or that you're doing something wrong. they're just muddy. static on the line, not a broken signal. because the moment you genuinely choose to shift, it's already happening. it's not conditional. it doesn't sometimes work and sometimes not, the intention itself sets it in motion, it wants to happen. your dr is reaching out. the process is already in motion. what these factors do is potentially cloud that connection. doubt, perfectionism, symptom-chasing, passive hoping none of them cancel the shift. they just make it a bit fuzzy to receive. they pull your focus away from something that's already unfolding and redirect it toward noise. so the attempt was never the problem. the connection was always there. it's just about learning to stop getting in your own way long enough to actually meet it.
okay, so why do i not shift then?
now, there are a number of reasons possibly why, even though you've set the intention and your spiritual self is already aligning with your dr you may not fully ground or fully shift your awareness to the point of opening your eyes in your desired reality. quick reminder: this is all based on my own personal research and my own journey, and what i've been able to piece together from that. i hope it resonates with you, it certainly resonates for me but shifting is such an individual experience, and that's always worth keeping in mind.
1. you do not truly want to shift.
this can manifest as seeing shifting as a burden, lack of passion, drive or even lack of mental clarity and decisions. (6 swords, 10 wands, 2 swords)
this might be a brutal take, and possibly a frustrating one to hear, especially if you've been attempting to shift for months or even years. but i genuinely think it's something a lot of us need to sit with. when you attempt over and over to the point of frustration, when you feel like you're seeing no results, shifting starts to feel like a chore. and at that point, rather than actually accepting the version of your dr self that's already reaching out to you, you start waiting, passively hoping that something external will just carry you there without your decision, that's the trap. you have to actively choose to set the intention. i know that sounds harder than it is, but it's so much simpler than we make it. you have to decide to shift. and part of that decision is releasing the grip — letting go of the frustration, the pressure, the worries, the sense that this is something you're obligated to perform rather than something you simply can do. you feel like "ugh, i've been going at this for years let me just lay down and try and hope i get there, or hope something happens."
what does this look like?
take sleep methods, for example. when you fall asleep hoping you'll wake up in your dr, yes — the intention is technically there. but what you're really seeking in that moment is the relief of sleep itself. you're seeking the release from the stress and frustration that shifting has accumulated for you and the hope that something will sway in. so subconsciously, that's exactly what you get. you fall asleep, you withdraw from the worry, but you don't shift. you just sleep. the withdrawal happened without the crossing.
this can also show up in wake methods. you might go into an attempt feeling genuinely driven and passionate, and that's real. but if subconsciously there's doubt, uncertainty, discomfort, or quiet fear sitting underneath all of that, it creates invisible barriers. ones that don't actually exist, but feel just as solid.
listen to your intuition, if today feels right then allow it but don't force it assume no progress and then beat yourself down when in reality you weren't fully interesed.
2. you think nothing is happening or nothing is working.
this can manifest as believing no symptoms=no shift, or believing you're still here, or over-analysing. (4 cups, 5 cups, page swords)
as someone who's a perfectionist and analytical, this one hits close to home. we've been conditioned to believe that a successful attempt has to come with symptoms, that you should feel your room shifting, feel something changing, feel something. and so when you go into an attempt, you start monitoring. checking. measuring. and the moment you do that, you've pulled your attention away from the one thing that actually matters, accepting your dr self and the reality that's already reaching out to you. chasing proof is what makes you miss it. you get so focused on finding evidence that something is working that you become completely blind to the shift itself. and the irony is that shifting can feel like absolutely nothing. you can set the intention and shift immediately, no symptoms, no sensations, no dramatic transition. so stop grading your attempt. stop asking yourself "is this working? what am i doing wrong? why can't i feel anything?" — because every time you ask that question, you're turning away from your dr reality, not toward it. instead, affirm where you are. trust it. believe it without needing it to prove itself to you first. the shift isn't something you can monitor your way into, it's something you allow.
3. you give up too early.
this can manifest as getting bored or believing that because you've been attempting for a certain time period, "nothing must be working" (6 swords, 8 cups, 5 cups)
this one ties directly into my awake girlies, but it can apply to asleep too! shifting can feel like nothing. so you can be mid-attempt, fully in it, and genuinely believe that nothing is happening, and that's where the ego steps in. it convinces you to stop. to open your eyes. to give up. but what was actually happening beneath that stillness is that you were shifting. your dr self was reaching out, and you were aligning with it. the moment you open your eyes and give up, your subconscious snaps back. it can't leave you suspended between realities, so it anchors you back here, and it feels like nothing ever happened. but it did. you were already leaving. that's why so many people feel like they've never made progress, when in reality they've been close over and over again. every time they got too in their head, every time the doubt got loud enough, they opened their eyes and unknowingly pulled themselves back. it's not easy, because sometimes attempts may take longer than feels bearable. but a lot of the time, giving up early isn't a failed attempt, it's a interrupted one. the shift was there. you just didn't stay long enough to land. trust your own ability. trust that it's working even when it feels like silence. sometimes there are no symptoms, no sensations, just a quiet click and suddenly you're there.
okay so what can i do to successfully shift?
i know this might start to sound repetitive and is said a lot in the community, but it's worth saying again. every single one of these factors: the lack of passion, the over-analysis, giving up too early, none of them are real restrictions. they're things we create, and then we believe in them so hard that they become walls. when you don't have the passion, the choice to shift is still there. but instead of receiving it openly, you're carrying it like a burden. when you're overanalyzing, the opportunity is right in front of you, your dr self is literally reaching out, but you're more preoccupied with whether you're doing it correctly than with what's actually being offered to you. and when you give up too early, you could be seconds away. genuinely. and then you open your eyes and snap back, and it feels like proof that nothing was happening. but it wasn't proof of failure, it was you leaving right before the finish line. these feelings are valid. it makes complete sense that this process feels defeating when you don't understand what's happening underneath it. but that's exactly the point. what feels like a wall is just static. the shift itself was never the problem.
why does shifting feel difficult, shouldn't it be easy?
shifting is as easy as breathing, simple in concept, but the receiving of it is where it gets complicated. the moment you set the intention, it's already happening. that part is effortless. but what's happening in your subconscious on any given day can quietly interfere without you even knowing why, and because you can't always pinpoint the cause, it builds frustration. and frustration builds cycles. and cycles are why some people spend years in the same pattern, putting in effort, hoping something lands, but unknowingly repeating the same blocks over and over. the shift is always reaching out to you. your job isn't to force it, it's to receive it. to choose it. to actually want it without conditions or expectations clouding the line. you have free will. you have the power to make that choice. but the moment you forget that, or the moment you start placing expectations on how it should feel or look, that connection gets muddy. and that's really the whole thing.
letting go, staying passionate, trying things out, affirming, owning your power, releasing other people's expectations or advice and seeking your own journey, trusting your intuition, and not letting a pity party get to your head, that's genuinely all it takes.
(p.s. even after you've shifted before (lol), attempts can still feel incomplete sometimes. and that's not failure, it might just be that you're anxious about an exam the next day, or uncomfortable, or there's too much noise in your head to fully let go. but if you can genuinely internalise the belief that it's always there, always available, always working a difficult attempt stops feeling like a dead end and starts feeling like a waypoint. that shift in perspective alone makes you more open, and being more open is half of it. i also think this is why accidental shifts happen. in those moments, people aren't carrying expectations. they fall asleep subconsciously open to receiving the shift rather than desperately hoping it'll come to them. that distinction is everything.
there's a lot happening beneath the surface with shifting that we can't always see or measure. but the comfort is in knowing it's always in motion. it's always working.
A story of mine is i started shifting 2020 but gave up (failed) but it found me again in 2025 bc i got curious if this gimick was real and i successfully did shift.
thinking about it, If i succeeded in 2020-2024 I would have left this reality by now and abandon everyone. It was the darkest times of my life, then this year has been the best and im loving my life even if i dont shift.
life got better and I saw alot of factors for me to live in this reality
the timing is just right where it found me :)) I wasnt desperate to run and abandon the reality where I learned so much lessons in life that i will apply to my next desired realities
I feel like the universe just wanted to show me this part of my life where.. this very reality is as good as the others, because this is the reality I discovered shifting, cried, learned, built resillence, met my pet, met my friends, this community, and s/o
A reality so tangible that it needs to be cherished and remembered
so we would be able to feel happiness within the difference (of our desired reality)
A lot of people look at shifting from a very human perspective. It often includes the idea that shifting is this special thing you work towards, something you can train or learn how to do. Many people subconsciously still believe that this reality, this state, this being, is our default.
If you ask me, as someone who has been shifting for, likely well over 10.000 years by now. It's always good to zoom out a little. You see, this reality doesn't prove anything. No rules here, no default, not even the way it looks. What you see here isn't ''realistic,'' it's just one way a reality, an experience, can look. The way people behave, dress, the way society, standards, or even morals work, it's all part of this concept that we're living in right now.
And although 95% of you guys will aim for realities that feel exactly like this one, that doesn't mean every place does. Some realities WILL feel like dreams, some will feel so much more ''realistic'' that it makes this reality feel like a dream. Some will not make sense compared to this place, or work completely differently altogether. There are realities with time skips, realities where things manifest instantly.
Shifting is not something special that you can do once, or twice, or maybe if you're very lucky, learn how to do at will. Shifting is part of EVERYTHING. Even just being aware means that you're shifting.
You don't think you can shift? You still do it. You don't believe it? You still do it. You are lost? You still do it. You have beliefs different from most people's? You still do it! It doesn't matter what you believe, or how you see it. It's important to stick to what is comfortable for you, and you alone. But it also IS important that you realise that shifting is so much more than just wanting to go to your dr. It's part of existence itself, and that takes away so much pressure.
You are not bound to this reality, it's not the start, it's not the end. No time here, no state here, whether alive or death, will change your ability to shift. You can leave forever, for a million years, you can shift to 50 drs and come back to the exact moment you left, or instead skip time, even go back into the past.
You are in full control, little sprout. Always. You're navigating your little human experience, feelings and brain. But you're so, so much more than that. Don't sell yourself short, you hold so much power. It's okay to feel, it always will be. But don't let your feelings stop you from realising how much more there is out there for you. Infinity will always mean infinity, I promise💚
I don't know if I'm making sense here honestly, but I wanted to put out another post like this. Thank you for reading!
shifitng progress update! ive been on and off about it since i rlly set the time cr = dr, im focusing on my cr rn as much as i want to shift those afternoon naps can rlly trigger me to induce it
i wanted to visit hogwarts again, and when i was triggering my method i felt like i was in a vehicle... a train! it feels like it was doing a turn and bumpy and i smell leather like leather seats, weird that i was lying down and i felt that i was sitting up and hear 3 people chatting beside me, my eyes wont open for some reason, i really dont know what to do but i did set my intention and i just let it happen
(i went lucid instead)
and fell asleep i woke up in an old town and a dragon picked me up, and i said oh im not in hogwarts i was fully aware i kind of failed to shift and i just decided to see where this dream takes me again i was fully aware im in a dream but just choose to enjoy it, me and my dragon were just soaring at night throwing ember pebbles? somehow putting a show in a village as ancient fireworks, i miss my lucid dream dragon now :((
me when I realise I actually don’t have to conform to anything in this world or the shitty circumstances in it and I don’t have to believe in stuff I don’t align with because reality is purely an illusion and imagination is all source of creation so I can basically go and do whatever I want in the stream of the multiverse
guys sometimes dont force urself to use LOA to the point it gets frustrating and drop it if it doesnt work, idk why i shifted for the first and 2nd time with my phrases being "WHAT IF its real" and i served as a lab rat experiment for my friends to try shifting if it is real, and so it is! be whimsy enough to believe magic is natural
₊˚⊹ ᰔ your dr and cr are not that different. they are just two sides of the same coin, if you focus on them separately you'll see them as two separate things. but if take a step back you will see that they are the same, they are one. so instead of staring at the side you want while analysing the odds, just flip the coin. worst thing that happens is that it lands on the wrong side, but then you just pick it up and try again. you have an unlimited amount of tries and nothing to stop you.
quick little reminder that shifting and manifesting is all so so SO very real. i am quite literally living the life of my dreams right now, i have my desired appearance, desired opportunities, i got out of situations i once never saw a way out of, healed from things i once never thought i would heal from, and things are aligning for me in ways beyond what i could've ever known. but most importantly, i am happy, i trust myself, and i can confidently and truthfully say that i love myself so so so much, inside and out, and i know for good that i am truly the universe and always was. and believe me, i was once at a place where i never in my life could've imagined saying that. all of this to say, no matter where you are right now, trust this moment. things WILL get better. everything you dream of WILL be yours. actually it all already is. everything will always, always, always be okay.
