Pov: You’re Me In My Dr

Okay I've been missing for a bit because I was trying something new that I saw on YouTube.

My OG plan died because I got bored of the DR I was shifting to and couldn't make myself keep daydreaming about it. But then I was on the Astral Projection subreddit and saw people talking about this one really helpful community member's YouTube channel. I decided to check it out and saw he had a video basically centred around "last ditch efforts to help you astral project". And since I know some people have managed to shift through astral projection, I've been trying it for the last three days.

What I basically did was ground myself. And no, I don't mean I molested every cushion in my living room or tried to make myself smell vanilla, I mean I treated myself like a naughty child and took away everything I considered fun and stimulating except for the knitting projects I'm working on. Every time I got frustrated or wanted to take a break and eat a nice snack or watch some TV I would tell myself, "Too bad. No snacks until you shift. No TV until you shift."

And let me tell you, literally day one I got results. After one trip to the supermarket with my boyfriend lamenting the fact I couldn't buy donuts or macarons or any of the nice things I was walking past, I went to sleep that night and had my first ever false awakening. Literally I have never had one in my life before, I try this and BAM!

But it was so much more than that.

I was struggling to sleep, so I put on an Alunir video because I find her voice really relaxing and I figured that even if I didn't shift from it I'd still fall asleep. I had random dreams for a bit that I don't remember, but then I was suddenly lying in my childhood bed at my parents' old house. As I was looking around the room I heard Alunir's voice still playing through my sleep mask and that made me realise I was dreaming.

Obviously as soon as I realised that I closed my eyes in the dream and tried to follow along with the prompts and visualise my DR, but everything started to shake and I heard growling and I got scared enough to wake up. Which is incredibly annoying because if you know anything about astral projection THOSE ARE TWO REALLY COMMON THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO PEOPLE RIGHT BEFORE THEY LEAVE THEIR BODY.

So I'm super mad that I got too scared and woke myself up, but at the same time I'm really excited because I think that's the most progress I've had in a long long time.

I didn't have anymore progress last night but it was really hot and I struggled to sleep. We just had a storm and things have cooled down a bit so I'm hoping tonight will be better. Wish me luck!!

Obviously because of this method I've mostly been on a social media ban but I figured I'd give a quick update to keep the blog active.

This morning I realised I was still tired and could go back to sleep and try something. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I picked doing SSILD cycles. Well they sure worked. I had so many lucid dreams in a row, as well as another false awakening. If I could just get better at stabilising the dream I could be walking through portals every night.

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I shifted for you".

Did half of shiftblr block me or something? I swear my feed only has, like, four posts in it at any one time now.

I'm about to tell you something wild about Tumblr that will blow your mind:

...

....

...

It's YOUR blog.

You can do whatever you want.

my proffesors wondering why i'm using my studio time to test the limits of green screen and why i'm trying to realistically edit myself into fake scenes from my desired reality 😔

ON A SERIOUS NOTE, is it socially acceptable on the tumblr side of life to post edits of your DRs or manips / scenes for motivation??

my goodness I met the coolest girl in college who is teaching me all about using your face to create AI renderings of your DRself and it is so so cool SHOULD I POST THEM DO PEOPLE DO THAT??

i've spent so long learning about ai in art classes and incorporating it into my life (logically and not letting ai do all of the work ‼️) and the results I have are SO COOL,, it has seriously pulled me out of my shifting slump bc seeing the process between green screen me and the edited end result IS CRAZY

I mostly just make these manips for personal motivation but idk it might be cool to recreate scenes or polaroids or moments from my desired realities ??

let me know what you guys think!! <3

Oh my god the s/o choosing you thing really struck a chord with me. Early in my shifting journey when I thought I was close I had a dream about one of my s/os finding me and carrying me out of this house I was hiding in. And while I was in his arms he said something like, "You're not ready for me yet."

Before that happened I had been SO SURE that I was ready to shift. That night I deliberately tried to make myself dream about him – thinking I'd see him, realise it was a dream, and then be able to shift from a lucid dream. But frankly, I embarrassed myself that day.

I spent that whole dream scared and running away from things and hiding and it made me realise that he was right. I probably wasn't ready to shift yet. Or, at the very least, I wasn't ready to shift THERE yet.

Fast forward a year or so and I've been getting all these signs and dreams again and it's right after I've gotten this newfound confidence in myself and rediscovered my inner strength. So I'm honestly glad my s/o showed up in that dream and went, "Girl, no. It's not time yet." Because I would rather go into that reality being a total badass than running and hiding and being a scared little victim all the time.

Permashifting the fuck outta here.

Things ain’t going great and I’m tired. Tired of it all. Time to live the reality I want to live

People lied when they said the shifting police isn't real because by the way some of these "shifters" act trying to control what other shifter do in their drs no luv they're real and they're hiding in plain sight

im so jealous of people who have friends who they can talk abt shifting with

“the shifting police aren’t real” tell that to the people who think they can dictate what people can & can’t script into their own fucking realities 🥰
