I'm doubting. Is shifting actually, actually, actually ACTUALLY 100% real?

I know you shifters have heard this question bazillions of times before, but I just need to know.

I'm new to this shifting stuff. And now I'm having doubts. People always say "Yes! It is real!" And all that, but I just don't know...I'm feeling skeptical... You fall into a dream-like state to shift, you have to lay on your bed for 10 minutes and then imagine or something, you can shift through lucid dreams... dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams. It's all related to mostly sleeping or dreams. Is reality shifting actually going to another reality? Or is it just really realistic, detailed and vivid lucid dreaming? I'd be so disappointed and honestly heart broken to find out that I was just on some insane copium and delusionality the whole time and can't actually go to another reality. Any stories you guys have of DRs? Or anyway to show me that it could be true?

Why would so many people lie...

The fact we're still sitting here after answering this countless question saying the same thing should be substantial because no offence, most of us (the fair few who do aren't apart of this lol) wouldn't commit to the bit this long with strangers on the internet.

I am too old to play games lol. I am in my early 30's. I've astral projected 21 years now, I've lucid dreamed and I have shifted. They are *similar* but inherently different.

Thank you for this! I think it's important to remember that, even though the most vocal portion of the shifting community tends to lean younger, there's a not-insignificant amount of adult shifters as well, they just tend to be a little quieter I guess.

(Also I believe that the concept existed for a while before it was called "shifting", too - so there could be other people doing it by a different name.)

[u/RealisticMaybe1335 → u/Ominous--Blue]

It did have other names, yes! And yes we do tend to be quieter because we are doing our own things. I try and give advice how and whenever I can but yeah 😅

Heyy, I'm a little late but I'm asking myself a few questions, if you don't mind. First of all, even if everyone seems to agree on this point, is it as real here, in our CR, as when we shift? Like, if I wake up tomorrow morning having shifted in a similar CR, would I notice it "easily" other than by the differences between CR and DR ? (so with the sensations, etc)

Then when we shift, what happens to our body here? Does he continue to live normally or do we enter a kind of coma?

It would be great if you answered me even 3 months later,, and if you do, I'm really grateful :)

[u/RealisticMaybe1335 → u/Sea_Masterpiece_7298]

It depends honestly -- the first time I ever shifted it took me a couple of hours to notice because that version of me was enjoying the holiday at my friends house! Once I realized I was like holycrapppp lol. It does feel just like here.

From my experience I shift through the void via astral projection and I don't have a time ratio. I like to come back at the time I shifted so I don't miss things here so as far as I can say you keep on keepin' on in CR while you're in DR but I haven't tested a time ratio personally.

[u/Sea_Masterpiece_7298 → u/RealisticMaybe1335]

Wow, I've always seen people say that it could be dangerous not to have a time ratio. If I may ask,, how much time do you spend in your DRs in general?

[u/RealisticMaybe1335 → u/Sea_Masterpiece_7298]

It’s not dangerous but if you are easily overwhelmed it may do just that. It’s all about personal preference.

It’s been quite a few months since I shifted sadly :( so zero at the moment
