FIRST SHIFTING SUCCESS . random reality

guys... i am pretty sure i shifted.

i fucking shifted to a random reality for a second.

i opened my eyes somewhere. it was night, and it looked a bit different than my room. i just affirmed right after i woke up that i was at that 12 grimmauld place (the black family's house in harry potter for some reason) and i was affirming that walburga's painting wasn't there (because it creeps me out), and my husband (bucky barnes) was there.

he was there.

i am pretty sure he was lying next to me. i didn't feel him through touch, but i felt his presence.

i was somewhere else.

i consciously felt somewhere else.

it was weird and overwhelming.

and also underwhelming.

but i was somewhere.

all that following a random dream with my husband in it.

...

i shifted... and it felt so natural.

because it is.

i shifted.

and it was that simple.

it may have been a second.

but i shifted...

i did it...

and all i had to do was affirm "i am in my desired reality".

and i was.

my husband was lying on my left.

we were both asleep but he was there.

i shifted.

anyways... i am going back to sleep. it is 4:43 here.

08/04/23

so, i was in sleep paralysis (keep in mind i have sleep paralysis with my eyes open always), and i wasn’t panicked or anything because I’ve been experiencing sleep paralysis since i was like 10 (it doesn’t happen really frequently anymore though). so i was honestly just thinking to myself, "should i try to LD or AP?" so i tried to AP and it wasn’t working for me (for some reason i was in pain??), so instead, i decided to try and shift. also i had never even considered the SP method for shifting before so this was all so crazy to me.

so for some background, i was previously having a dream where i was running away from something but i felt myself entering SP and I could barely move in the dream. so i wanted to shift to a reality where i was able to run away. so i started to visualize myself running in a 3rd person POV. and it was crazy because i have aphantasia, so i usually don’t see anything when i visualize but this time i literally was able to!!

this was so trippy too. but i visualized myself zooming into myself that was running, and began to visualize in first person. once i did, i was going through a “tunnel” with red and black lights. i cannot describe it and i was kind of scared but yes y’all, i shifted with my eyes open!!

so i just keep on affirming that I’m shifting and once I get to the end of the tunnel, my eyes in my DR were already slightly open but they widened when i fully shifted there, but my vision was a bit blurry (i could tell that i was napping in this reality). it was so crazy like, it was just like this reality, in fact it felt even more realll. please don’t give up like it is so fucking worth it.

when i shifted, didn’t have a specific DR in mind so i don’t know where i’m at but it’s so crazy cause i just get this feeling that i’m at my cousin’s place. it looked so different but it was really nice. So I was sitting on the couch in the living room and i stand up to go look around for other people. (also i felt so heavy at first y’all) but I walk past the kitchen and there is a balcony facing outside and I see all my family on the balcony.

something things that were different,

❀ my dad was holding a baby girl and i could feel that she was my lil sis (is this reality my parents stopped having kids like 9yrs ago and i only have 3 younger brothers)

❀ there was this family friend named gilliana that was there, never seen this girl before but she was chill. also i just knew that was her name.

❀ my cousin had a different hairstyle, his hairline was botched low key 😭😭☠️☠️☠️

❀ my cousin and aunt’s apartment was way bigger and on the first floor, and my uncle wasn’t there. there was also sm furniture in the living room but the place was sooooo nice!

so the balcony was on the first floor facing the courtyard and that day that there was a food truck there that had cameroonian food. it looked and smelled so good!!! the poisson braisé (braised fish) had me damn near drooling. my mom told me “c'est trop cher” which means, it’s so expensive in french. but I was like idcccc i’m getting a plate! And i wanted to, but took a step back and i shifted back. also ik 100% that it was a shift because i never dream in french, even though im bilingual.

why I shifted back,

❀ i kept on wondering on whether i was acting natural or not because i felt a little, idk how to express it but a bit out of it? and i didn’t want them to think i’m behaving differently

❀ i also kept thinking about my cr lmao and I realized that i would really miss my family here if i were to permashift, which is a feeling i didn’t know i had

❀ i also was not very grounded lol, and i wasn’t there for long, just 5min

some tips and words of advice,

❀ ps, feel free to ask any questions

❀ whenever you have a dream, just tell yourself that you had shifted instead, especially if it’s about your DR

❀ WBTB METHOD YALL!!!! anytime that i’ve lucid dreamed, nearly AP’d, and have had the most vivid dreams, it has been when i incorporated this method. and i do it so habitually. like my friends always joke abt how i sleep in 2 parts

❀ make shifting a lifestyle. now i’m not saying to revolve your life around shifting, but when i started incorporating reality checks and affirmations in my daily life (it literally all takes 10s) it has become a habit. because before, i would never think to try and shift while in SP

❀ honestly just believe in yourself, it’s harder than it sounds but you’re the only thing that can make yourself shift, even if you have doubts and frustrations, that’s not gonna stop yourself from doing SHITTT

❀ pls do not expect your experience to be like mine at all or compare yours to others. i have never heard of anybody shifting with their eyes open before. and also i didn’t experience any symptoms at all, which was not surprising because I never do

anyways hope this was interesting, xoxo ˚ ༘ .˚🌱୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ

Hi can you tell your experience on your first shift?

Sure! This happened around April 2021:

I was laying down after a “long” day of virtual classes, listening to a subliminal (this one if it matters). I wasn’t physically tired though so I decided to just relax and recite some affirmations. After about 5 minutes, my body began to feel as though it was being lifted up, explosions of bright light and swirling colors blurred behind my closed eyes.

The sensation grew more intense so I opened my eyes…but I was no longer in my room. I looked down at my chrome hands, chrome feet, chrome everything… even the room was chrome. I heard a meowing sound and looked down to see Gary the snail from Spongebob (also chrome).

I remember touching everything: the walls, the couch, the door, it all being ice cold and solid. At the time, I had read up on reality checks, so I was trying to put my palms through my fingers, looking at clocks, watching tv, dialing random numbers, everything😭. My final test was gently kicking Gary (cruel of me but I assumed he couldn’t feel anything). I over estimated his weight though, because he essentially flew across the room.

I felt extremely guilty so I spent the remaining time of my shift petting him, feeding him, and giving him one of his toys. I shifted back as soon as I was sure he was comfortable and satisfied. When I checked the time after shifting back, I estimated the shift lasted roughly 40 minutes.

So TLDR: I shifted to that one SpongeBob episode where everything was chrome, checked out the place, kicked Gary, felt like shit, and shifted back.

My first ever shift

- My first shift

I had done (I can’t remember her names) reprogramming your mind method a few days before hand and then on the 2nd of august 2024 I shifted for the first time to my Star Wars reality without really even trying

I woke up to a banging at my door and shot up not knowing where I was, I was in my room in the temple it was plain with silver almost white walls and a purple bed (thanks to me) my bathroom to the right with my cupboard next to it and the door to the rest of the temple in front of me.

“Alissa are you awake” I hear from outside my door and I recognise it as obi wans voice

“Yeah” I reply in the most timid voice imaginable and sit up from my bed

“Get ready the council needs to see you, Anakin and I.”

“Yeah ok”

“And be quick” obi wan added before leaving, it wasn’t unusual for me to be late to things I’m not the best at time management

I explored my room for what seemed like hours but had only been 10 minutes before getting ready and heading to the council room

Once I arrived I saw obi and Anakin standing outside the door waiting for me. Anakin was glaring daggers at me, if I hadn’t spent my whole life with him I’d be intimidated but he wasn’t scary, he was someone I’ve seen everyday he was familiar

“Oh look who finally decided to show up” Anakin spat out to me while smirking and crossed his arms. I looked between him and obi-wan before telling him to piss off. Anakin just continued glaring at me before obi-wan cut both off us of before we could say anything “come on let’s go” he is so done with us.

Anyways after that I went back to my CR because yeah

[bucksaiga]

Gino I've missed you so fucking bad and yes I will sit through more copaganda just for you

First Shift comes out October 31 if anybody cares

[linadove]

my experience with shifting for the first time

PART 2

this part 2 wont hold much since this is kinda the end of the shift

so after i said "no i cant right now" jj just looked at me like confused and "what the hell do you mean no?" and i just stared at him knowing that maybe me saying no wasn't the best decision i made since the only reason i said no was because i wanted to go hide somewhere so i could at least gather my thoughts, but saying no to jj was Definity the wrong choice ... so i just kept looking at him and i just told him i was tired and it wasn't the right time right now, and he then proceeded to tackle me to the couch out in the porch, he started to tickle me.., needless to say i was petrified, my heart was racing not only because this was my s/o touching me, but because thoughts and thoughts were still running in my head like a bomb and him tickling me just made it worse, so as one does in a fight or flight moment i do both ,i start fighting my way off since he was on top of me on this couch ..... it wasn't like i was actually tackling him off me in a hurtful way, just trying to push him gently off me, but i got up from the couch and i just kept saying "not right now" i told that to jj about 3 times before i said it to myself i was out of breathe and i just need him to clearly understand my wishes, but as soon as i told myself not right now, it did seem like maybe i should leave, maybe it really just wasn't my time right now, so i shifted back.

and yes you guys can yell at me for shifting back, i understand lmao.

all of my shifting experiences are as this embarrassing i will say

but anyways this was my first time experiencing a shift, hope you guys enjoyed that... lovely... experience...

[accidental-apocalypse]

I'll bite.

I need to know about the red string conspiracy doc.

Sounds very fun

I have been WAITING for this. Get ready for the combined brainrot of @alice-apparently and I, you poor soul. Now, listen up, 'cause we’ve got a labrynthine twisted task of a tale to tell, and if you don’t keep up, you might get lost :)

And obviously: spoilers for tmagp. don't keep reading if you're behind 🫵🏼

First things first: anyone currently descending into paranoia? we're already there, poster children of paranoia-land, that's us. May I present the title of the wonderful conspiracy doc -

There's also a TMA conspiracy doc Ali made, fully colour- episode- and entity-coordinated. It's like 24k words and not even fully done. don't worry about it.

Which is why we're going to be super normal and low-key about the Protocol red string doc right?

of course.

As you can see above, our collaboration relies on Ali's colour coding and her making nice, structured observations of possibly important things, while I provide the Latin and cheer her on. Balance is important in a marriage.

Also included in this all-round package: character info, quotes, etc.

I've since moved on from my "Gwen is evil" theory because I simply love socially awkward, abrasive characters who are good at their job a little too much (nervously shuffles Jonathan Sims, the Archivist, further behind my back). Still the hottest bitch at the OIAR, don't @ me.

Also also, in this house we love Alice Dyer and don't trust her any further than we can throw her. what is UP with all your comments Alice? What do you know???

Anyway.

But Ames, you say, didn't you promise quotes? I did, and I'll do you one better: tmagp quotes with additional obnoxious commentary from yours truly and Ali

If you'd like to see Ali lose her shit over the red canary implications (which I fully support), hop over to her tumblr @alice-apparently and give it a read. It's delightful.

Right. Moving on from the random screenshots. Basic outline of part one of the paranoia board is a section for every episode. Ali is listening to ep7 as I write this and having a great time (not), so there's not much in the ep7 section, except for this:

Thoughts and prayers, love, thoughts and prayers.

And FINALLY, my favourite section.

This is the speculation part, time line puzzle and colour coding reference, but my current favourite is this:

She's trying to reverse-engineer the case coding in tmagp, a noble cause. Godspeed, Ali, bc that is too many numbers for my silly little brain. I only excel at criticising stupid horror protagonists aka Personal Screening:

That's all for now.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk, and to send you all off, one last silly comment from me to you and the universe:

Bye!

SHIFTING STORYTIME!

SHIFTED TO: MY HOGWARTS REALITY

STORYTIME:

So I’ve recently been staying at a cabin in big bear, and I’m not really used to waking up in a bed there. And I remembered that @jadeshifting had a post saying that you should break habits and whatnot so that’s why thought it would be perfect if I shifted. (I read her blog a lot bc she’s so helpful & motivating!!) So the night before I tried to shift but I felt like I didn’t have much luck due to it being super late at night, making me want to just sleep rather than focus on shifting. So this night I decided to shift two hours earlier. I would normally stay up late reading shiftblr and reading success stories or “how to shift”… but tonight I decided it was best to trust myself and make my own success story. So before I laid down to shift I decided to gather some information I learned on shiftblr (things I remembered on the top of my head). I reminded myself that the 3D is just an illusion so I shouldn’t pay attention to it, I can shift if I decide to, the 4D is all I need, and that I should just focus on being there, not trying to get there. So as soon as I was ready, I laid down and went into my shifting journey.

Here’s my steps:

1.) I calmed myself down and focused on my breathing and the blackness behind my eyes for a moment

2.) I began affirming and reminding myself where I was shifting to and who I was there. (“I am shifting to my hogwarts reality” “I am ____ and I’m ___ years old” )

3.) I said “I am in my hogwarts reality” and accepted that. I went back to breathing and being calm.

4.) A few minutes later I told myself I was in my hogwarts reality again and began on focusing on where I was. I thought of / visualized the things around me. I thought of my dorm, and outside of my dorm.

5.) I used some of my five senses. I told myself that since its morning time, I can hear the morning birds. And since Hogwarts is near a forest, I could hear the trees rustling in the wind. I kept thinking about what that sounded like. A few seconds later, I could genuinely hear it. (I knew it wasn’t my cr surroundings bc I was in a small room w/ a small window. When the window closes, you can’t hear anything out of it) The sound of the birds was low, but I could hear it. And I could hear the trees as well! The sound would be loud and then go low at times..but I heard it!!

6.) I decided that I wanted to wake up completely, so I told myself that I was there and to wake up. My room became extremely bright. I knew I was there, but it’s like my eyes wouldn’t open. I hadn’t scripted them to, so that may be the problem. (Let me know if you guys have any tips for this) So I laid there, scared to open my eyes. I HAD shifted tho!! I’m so happy I shifted, even if I didn’t open my eyes :)!

If you guys want me to post more shifting stories, or even post an introduction to my hogwarts reality, I’d be happy to! Thank you for reading my first shifting storytime!

Xoxo, luvagirlmy <3

Creeptober 10 - Graveyard Shift

TMAGP 001 - First Shift pt. 1

[void--crow]

Keep seeing people talk about how redcanary got their eyes gouged out and I don't think that's right? BadGrav31 asks "Are those eyes? " Not "were those their eyes" or anything in the past.

"Are those eyes?"

to me this reads as if there are more eyes than there are meant to be

we know that with tma word choice was often deliberate, we know that Johnny and Alex are very good writers. I don't think RedCanary had their eyes gouged out. I think it was just the opposite.

[maevstar]

MY FIRST SHIFT — or mini shift, whatever.

I don’t really like to call it mini shift cause I believe that no matter how long you spent on your dr, you shifted, it was a shift, you shifted your perspective, your consciousness.

I wanted to share this cause shifting is something so simple and natural that you can shift even if you don’t have intention to shift in the momment or don’t believe in it 100%, cause that was my case.

This happened to me a couple of months ago, I don’t remember the month exactly rn, but I remember that I came home this day and I was super tired, so I went to take a nap in the afternoon.

At the time, I was trying to shift to a specific reality, and all I could think about was that reality. Like, every time i was doing something I’d think: “this will help me to shift” or “I’m on my dr right now”, any kind of these affirmations, so that probably helped too.

So, when I took the nap, i had a lucid dream, and my first thought was to shift. I remember that I was dreaming of being in an elevator when I got conscious of the dream and I thought like “when these doors open, I’ll be on my dr”. And then the doors opened and all I could see was white, like a flash right on my face.

Then this flash faded and i was on my dr house. I didn’t opened my eyes but I knew that I was there, I just knew. I knew that I was laying on a pool lounger right next to my pool. I didn’t opened my eyes but the image of the pool came to my mind, and I didn’t made that up, I didn’t imagined, was my memory from that reality.

Idk how to explain but, imagine when you’re in your bed, and you close your eyes. Even with your eyes closed, you still know where you are, right? You know where all the things in your bedroom are. You know the surroundings.

It was exactly like that. I didn’t opened my eyes, but I knew the surroundings. I knew i was on my yard by the pool and i even listened to my dogs there.

But that was the first time that I ever got so close to shift, like, I actually shifted, so I got a little bit too much excited and nervous and I was like “I gotta tell someone wtf just happened omg”. And then I came back to my cr.

And that was it. I was just going to rest and then boom, i had a lucid dream and shifted. I got very close to shift again last week, I still don’t know if i shifted last week or was just a crazy dream, I think I’m gonna write about it too later so I can see someone else’s opinion.

Anyway, I hope you guys understand this cause english is not my first language so it’s very difficult to translate exactly what happened, and my writing might be bad because of that. :P

If you have a first shift experience too please share in the comments ;)

[hailxcalcifer]

So now that I think about it, I did shift once...

(Story Time Below)

Back in May of last year I had a whole trip planned with my mother. It was for a concert in Ohio and I had decided to take a week off. I couldn't tell you what my DR at the time would've been but I do think it was a Twilight one.

Anyways it was the first night we were there and we were both going to sleep in our beds, we called it an early night cause the travels there were exhausting.

Next thing I know I fell OUT. Later in the night I remember waking up abruptly but I wasn't in the hotel anymore. I was in my room back home. I was so confused, I know I had fallen asleep in that hotel bed so why was I home?

Everything was exactly like how I left it and all I remember was how real everything was. So a bit freaked out I laid back down and closed my eyes tight. When I opened my eyes in a gasp, I jolted up awake back in the hotel room. I look over and my mom is still asleep in the bed next to mine.

Now at first I thought it was some crazy dream but the more I think on it, the more real I realize it was. I hadn't even planned to shift, nor was I even trying to.

For years I kind of denied myself this experience, writing it off as nothing but truthfully I'm done doing that. I shifted, I'm going to claim it as such.

Any shift, big or small, the right or wrong reality you're headed too, is still a shift.

But that's about it, thanks for reading if you came this far.

<3
