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.

Not feeling great today but another quick update. No shifting yet, but all but one of my last 7 dream journal entries were some level of lucid. At the moment I'm playing around with meditating on the inner sound before bed.

Another Facebook find shamelessly appropriated to my shifting blog.

Because shifting is my destiny

I hate to admit this but I'm a ho in every dr I have 😭😼

God forbid a girl has hobbies 😒😒

how mfs who knew about shifting in 2020 looked like with a 8 hour subliminal blasting in their ears😭😭‼️🔥🔥

Me, every time.

not being able to choose a dr to shift to is messing with my head 😭

do I shift to my spiderverse dr?? my batfam dr?? my mha dr?? should I make new ones since those interactive fictions I love so much won’t leave my brain??

I really need to choose. like yesterday, I lay down, was like “I’m in my spiderverse dr” and then my thoughts start wandering and I confuse myself 💀

~*~*~ Paraphrased entry from my diary because I have no-one to talk to about this stuff and I'm really excited ~*~*~

A few weeks ago I remembered a dream I had back in November 2023. It was about someone I'm interested in romantically in one of my DRs, and it ended with him saying the words, "You need to get stronger, little one." In the context of the dream and my shifting journey in general, I took it to mean I wasn't ready to shift and meet him yet, that I had more work to do.

Fast forward a year and I'd kind of forgotten about it. When I did remember it again, I also remembered the things I'd been testing out around that time and realised I'd kind of gotten off track a bit. I also realised I hadn't dreamed about him in a year, even though I used to dream about him a lot, for years and years.

So I decided to try and influence my subconscious with this thought: "When I'm getting close to shifting, I'll dream about him again and in the dream [some specific details relating to past dreams that will happen differently this time]." Well, the dream didn't happen that night as I'd hoped it would. In fact it's been weeks, so long I'd forgotten I'd even set that affirmation. Until last night.

Last night I dreamed about him again, and all the details I specified were there. In fact it was even better than what I'd asked for. So, according to my subconscious: shit's imminent. I can't wait.
