I just want to take a moment to talk about something I have noticed in the shifting community.
btw I'm not just talking about the shifting community on Tumblr. I've also seen this a lot on TikTok and Reddit. I also want to make it clear that this is not about anyone in particular, it's just something that I've been thinking about a lot.
In the past few years of being in this community, I've seen a lot of posts and comments of people saying stuff like "I think I just shifted/minishifted" and I just keep on thinking, why are you asking other people to validate whether or not you have shifted/minishifted? and wouldn't it be more beneficial to your shifting journey to just assume you did?
If anyone else has thought on this pls let me know <3

( pls let me know ur opinions on this ) so basically i keep hearing people mention mini shifts and i am quite confused by them - reason being is i have a slight inkling that most so called mini shifts are in fact lucid dreams that people are unaware of - now hear me out - i am obvs not trying to invalidate anyone’s experience and i do think there is a probability that this is not a 100 percent true !! however!! i have also noticed people’s dissmisal of how fucking realistic lucid dreams are - i have had dreams (lucid and not) that i have felt lasted a whole day(until i woke up) i have had lucid dreams about shifting where i genuienly thought i shifted (again until i woke up)
in lucid dreams you are able to use ur five senses!! idk why this is such a huge misconcetion and people think you cannot - you absolutely can - however they last up to 1 or 2 hours - not more. you cannot dream for weeks at a time(which is one main reason why shifting is not lucid dreaming) they also obviously feel like dreams and weird shit happens all the time. and even if you clarify your LD and some point it gets hazy and dizzy.
so in my opinion i think in order for a person to be completely sure they shifted you need to either 1. stay in your dr for more than a day. 2. go to sleep there and still wake up there. 3. eat,pee and poop there (since i dont think you can do that in a LD lmaoooooo)
also i dont understand the whole ‘’i was so excited i shifted i woke up ‘’ because that is literally what happens when you lucid dream and you get excited - for example i had a lucid dream and i wanted to call my crush from my dr and i called him and when i saw him i felt extremely excited, giddy whatever and the moment i hugged him because my heart was beating extremely loudly and my emotions were so high i woke up. 
so how is it that some people shift and they are obvs still scared, excited, confused and they stay in their dr’s and others wake up? it kind of doesnt make sense?? i mean i am more than open to people’s arguments and thoughts about this i have just been thinking about it for so long and it confuses the heck out of me lmao. 
again not trying to invalidate anyone’s experiences i am not dead set on any opinion, theory or idea so feel free to let me know if you think i am wrong!!! edit; i am also not talking about people who shift and get scared and say their safeword or safeaction and come back obvs this is what a safeword/action is for so that one is up in the air whether the person shifted or not

Ahhhhh! An adult shifter I’m so happy! I’m so used to being one of the few adults in the shifting community it always makes me happy to see another person! Would you mind if I ask you in private messages about your experiences?
Hello, hello!! I'm really happy that you found me in the sea of shifters out there in Tumblr. You're totally welcome, any time, to ramble on into my DMs and talk about experiences with shifting. I love brainstorming & sharing ideas/stories with fellow dreamers. So, the door is open to you, new friend. 💜 If you'd like to read some of my latest shifts in large detail, you should read my pinned post. It's got my latest adventures plus a summary of the DR I'm currently exploring. But I'm also cool with 1 on 1 discussion~
⚠️ Below is a rant about ageism within the Shifting Community. Please be advised that this is just my opinion...
You know, I really hold off on posting about opinions/shifting theories because this blog is solidly focused on documenting scripts & my experiences first...but. You brought up a good point. There aren't many (public) adult shifters out there on Shiftblr, Shiftok, or the many Subreddits out there that exist. And I feel like that has a lot to do with the heavy & predominant ageism (age-based shaming) within the Shifting Community as a whole. I see a lot of young shifters out there posting:
Some person who just turned 14: Woah, you're 24??? What are YOU doing in the Shifting Community???!!! 😲 🤣 😅
As if shifting is something allowed only for young people because when you "get old," you aren't allowed to dream anymore. You're supposed to "grow out of it." But let me ask anyone reading this right now: if you really, truly believed in shifting, would you "grow out of it" when you turned 26? 28? 29? How about when you're 35 like me??? Would you stop shifting to "be an adult and live in the real world"? Abandon your s/o's?? Abandon your dreams??
The aggressive vein of ageism infecting the shifting community feels like a belief issue. Like shifting is for the young because they're allowed to be "whimsical" and engage in this dreamworld on the premise that shifting isn't real and eventually, they'll "grow out of it" and get a real job or some crap like that. Fuck that. Fuck THAT. That's the same kind of abusive crap my grandfather used to yell at me when he burned my artwork and said I needed to "grow up". Stop shaming the "old" shifters!
Many of us didn't get to have a childhood. Or a stable living situation. Or a family. Or love...
Adults need their dreams, too. In fact, with how rough and cruel this reality is, I say we all owe it to ourselves to shift. To dream. To allow ourselves the JOY and LOVE we need. It's only because of my DRs that I continue to fight for a better future for myself. As an ancient adult shifter, having my DR (and s/o's) there to support me while going through the banal horrors of this reality and medical problems, shifting helps to keep me sane. It's not a thing I'm ever going to "grow up and out of" because after you shift, you realize the world is bigger and more beautiful than you could ever imagine. And why would I ever give that up?? Be kind to us adults who shift...
Because one day, you'll be old too.

Just a polite request I have because I genuinely don't understand how shifting works. I have tried finding any plausible areas of science that deal with this, and the only ones that do aren't that citable. I'm conflicted in believing this, though I don't want to start an argument. I just want to understand your perspective on this!
Hello!!!
It's totally fine to ask questions and research shifting before diving headfirst into it!! I'll never turn away someone who is politely asking questions ☺️
I have answered and discussed this topic multiple times so please check out my Masterlist!!! It's linked in my Shiftblr Intro at the top of my blog. (I try to organize it as much as possible so hopefully you find the right section!!)
Have a great day!!
(( EDIT: to answer in a very short quick response: shifting is real but even if it's not exactly how we believe it is, I still believe in it. I believe it is SOMETHING that happens. Don't fully understand what happens or the science behind it, but it happened to me and I can't explain it otherwise. And even if there is no definite "proof" I still believe in it. Just like there's no "proof" a God exists, but people still follow the religion!! Hope this helps!! ))

1// hi there, before you get too far, I want to say that I am trying to say this with all the kindness in my heart, and that I do, truly care for yall, and this is why im typing this now. I stumbled across your blog via your 'shifting terms' post, and I explored the idea of shifting and the shiftblr community a bit. I read all of your sources (although I don’t really believe most of them are credible enough) ((it could just be the uni student in me tho)) and I can't help but worry for you and
2// the shifting community. As I understand, most of you are still quite young, and while I haven’t tried to shift (I have a deep paranoia of developing a psychotic disorder), I fear that this practice could affect the young minds in this community in an unprecedented way. I am /not/ saying that any of you are delusional, im not saying its fake, im not saying i dont believe you. But many of you have mentioned how shifting is a) not dangerous and b) similar to astral projecting.
3// This is where I begin to worry, in my understanding, astral projecting is VERY dangerous, so if what you are doing is similar i dont believe it is a good idea. Especially for young people. Adolescent brains are very prone to mental illness, and I fear by placing yourselves in this situation you could eventually damage your mind. I dont mean to preach or anything, i just know a lot of you are young and i think you should be aware of the dangers of what you are doing,
4// because it could affect you in the long run. But stay safe, watch over each other and i wish yall the best. (ps. im sorry this was long)
/////end of ask
Okay so I just wanted to first say it would be okay if you didn’t believe or thought I was mentally ill and stated such! An ask like this is useful because it can start an actual conversation; I have concerns besides just disbelief to go off. Astral projection, being young, etc. I thank you for that and for leaving asks.
I don’t want people to think it’s not okay to be open about not believing. I know with the whole rating stuff rather than responding to comments it might seem like that, but I’m just going to brush off what doesn’t have a purpose other than bringing people down because there’s no point in repeating myself.
If it’s clearly meant to be sarcastic or has a punchline or comment for the sake of being rude or feeling like you’re superior (“get a hobby”) then I’m just not gonna humor you. I’m not intending to shut down all concerns at all.
About the sources—yeah, I do agree, a lot of the sources aren’t very credible, I totally acknowledge that. I also acknowledge even if they were all done by very credible sources the findings wouldn’t be absolutely decisive.
That’s kind of the fault of a lack of experimentation in scientific/professional spaces regarding anything spiritual and just the nature of spirituality itself. At the end of the day it’s mainly the suggestion of the findings that are important to spiritual people looking for evidence. I’m not sure if I worded that all coherently lol
I’m gonna answer these two points in reverse
Shifting is b.) similar to astral projection
So when I say similar to astral projection, I mean mainly in the fact you are perceiving stuff outside of your body and projecting. It’s a similar concept, and a bit of a similar practice, but not entirely.
With shifting, you are projecting your consciousness, and with astral projection, you are projecting your astral self/soul.
(I haven’t researched as much into the specifics of astral projection as I have for shifting so feel free to correct me! My understanding of astral projection is that your soul/astral self projects from your body to wander the astral realm.)
I’m gonna copy and paste some stuff I said in a dm message to someone who had a similar concern.
When a person shifts, their soul remains in their body. Your consciousness/awareness of reality is what is in another universe. When a person asteral projects, their soul leaves their body and can travel different realms of the universe.
When a person astral projects, they can come across spirits, deities, and harmful entities. They can take damage to the soul. They can change their astral form. Astral projection is dangerous. It is highly recommended not to astral project without protection.
When a person shifts, they are in a normal reality and do not need protection. Protection doesn’t hurt, as it doesn’t hurt to have protection in this reality, but its not necessary. (Precautions should always be taken.)
If they die in their desired reality, their soul is fine so they just come back. There is no danger of death. Your consciousness or alternate self (“clone”) can also go about your day while you are shifted which I have never heard about for astral projection.
The differences between your spirit projecting outside of your body and your consciousness projecting into another reality is why shifting is generally regarded as safer and as needing less precaution.
shifting is a. not dangerous
Well, not inherently. But like most anything it can be used dangerously. Some of the precautions that should be taken are:
•educating yourself properly before shifting
•grounding yourself (an ungrounded shifter can have issues)
•making sure you are not depending on shifting for anything or using it as unhealthy escapism
•understanding spirituality concepts even if you’re not practicing
I have a Staying Safe While Shifting post that has been in my drafts forever because I want to finish my mental health series to link it in the post, but I’ve been procrastinating finishing the mental health series because of the ADHD and shifting topic, which I believe I have.
We do have a majority of young people on the community—middle to older teens, I think. Most adults interested in this sort of thing participate under Quantum Jumping, a term that’s been around longer, which seems more online forum based.
Overall, yes. Shifting when exposed to the wrong people can absolutely harm mental health. I think we’re seeing it on TikTok. I just don’t have the power to make sure only people who can mentally take it see it. I just have to do my best to educate people on how reality shifting works so delusions or misunderstandings are hopefully easier to spot.
I absolutely thank you for the thoughtful message and if I brought up more concerns let me know.

respectfully - if you don’t believe in shifting stay out of the tags why do you care. it’s not hurting anything just let people enjoy things lmao
Like I said, I think it’s a dangerous way of thinking. I feel like we can see it in DSM-6 at some point. I saw a post about someone apparently murdering someone in their shift space and apparently? That’s real murder to shifters. Specifically it was their idea of Hogwarts. I’m also pretty disillusioned with my reality, but I’m not going to behave like my extremely lucid dreams as a reality. It’s dangerous. If I did that, my behavior with people in those dreams would be catastrophically different. And sure, people are capable of separating the two.
Really, my thing is desired realities. The concept is completely ridiculous and is entirely based on a god-complex these people have. Is there a universe where your more successful than this one? Yes. Is it something you can just create, and also is something you control? No.
Thanks for the anon, and I apologize for being disrespectful about it. I truly do think people should have fun with things. But this feels extreme, and I don’t think I could ever interact with people like this in a nice way.

Shiftblr Intro
Hi there shiftblr! I’ve been following several shifting blogs for a few months now from my main and finally caved and made a shifting blog–I hope I can get to know some people on here!
About me:
call me Xo (the X is pronounced like a Z); it’s currently my online alias!
my pronouns are she/her/hers and they/them/theirs–I have no preference, just don’t call me a girl/any gendered terms!
this is a sideblog, so I won’t like/follow from here!
I run 2 other blogs at the moment, as well as volunteering, being a high school student, etc., so I don’t plan on being super consistent with posting!
About my shifting journey:
I have about 10+ different DRs at the moment, not all scripted!
My main DRs are my MCU DR, my Mandalorian DR, and my Umbrella Academy DR
I have been researching shifting for 6-7 months
I have “mini-shifted” to/arrived in my Umbrella Academy DR 3 times using my own method!
I can shift (we all can!) but have been “resting” for a little while!
I’ll be tracking my posts/updates with the tag #xo shifts
I do not claim to be a shifting expert, but I’ll help when and where I can as much as possible
If I ever get around to it, I plan on posting scripts, ideas, motivation, methods, etc.! 
Other information (please read!):
I am a tarot reader and experience manifester! I have done many shifting readings for individuals and collectives before and may open some up for free here if I find the time/calling
I get my information/resources from my own research on Amino, Tumblr, and my own experiences 
I love helping and interacting with others, so don’t hesitate to DM me, send an ask, submit a post, etc.! 
Trigger warnings will be tagged as follows: #[trigger name here] tw
I will do my best to keep triggering content to an absolute minimum!
Racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, etc. will NEVER EVER be tolerated here. 
I want to stop the spread of misinformation, so if I ever accidentally say something incorrect, please correct me and I will do the same if I see any!
I am anti-limiting belief and negativity, but I will not discuss r*spawning under ANY circumstances UNLESS it is to educate and warn others
I’m glad to be here/meet everyone! I’ll tag some shifting blogs that inspired me to make one: @shiftingshiftingshifting @shifting-lark @shiftingbun @fuckingrealityshifting

im glad at least someone doesn't hate on respawning here.
like okay i don't wanna suffer in this shit world but shiftblr said no respawn bad just be hapy :)
I am a respawner myself, after shifting to hundreds of parallel realities. They all suck. There was one where a really racist guy was president for 16 years and the whole country went down the drain. I don’t see any reason to stay here. I’m gonna leave a clone and if the clone wants to shift or respawn, that is their business.
Yes the respawn hate is really bad. I honestly don’t know how it started. I’ve been part of the subliminal community since the 6th grade and now im a junior in college.
There wasn’t really issues with respawn before TikTok (it was well known in the subliminal community), I can only assume it started somewhere on TikTok. Many communities like shiftok and Reddit instant ban any discussions of respawn, so you can’t even correct them.
However, this little space here, my blog, will always be safe for my fellow respawners. (Also tons of Amino communities are respawner friendly. They were shifting and respawning years before Tiktok even existed so there is a lot of info there!)
I really hate how misinformed shifters take misinformation and run 10 miles with it.
If you are not happy with this reality, all I can say is happy respawning! You deserve a better life and it’s waiting for you. I wish you a happy respawn!

Hi! I don't know if this is a stupid question or not, but—as someone who hasn't fully shifted yet—what does it feel like to return to your CR after being in your DR? I've been thinking about it a lot recently... because, I have the things I desire there, obviously, it's my DR... but, what I mean is, could getting things I want and can't ever have in my CR be harmful to my mental health? The absence of them after returning? I hope I make sense.
On another note (since I couldn't find it anywhere), for how long do people usually stay in their DR? Or what is the longest period you'd recommend staying (like, in one go)?
Thank you
Heya, anon!
I haven’t fully shifted yet either, but I can share some information and beliefs based on the information I know and some practiced logic. 
But fair warning: My beliefs will be different than other shifters, and that’s alright! We’re all entitled to our own beliefs, and I don’t claim that mine are “better” or “more right” than anyone else’s. 
I say this because this is on the topic of escapism and using shifting as either a hobby or an escape, and I know that topic has been discussed and debated in the community.
I’ll put my thoughts and answer this question under the read more. TW for potential shifting doubts, escapism, mental health.
Alright, so I personally believe that shifting should be something to better yourself, like yoga or exercise. You are learning to re-program your subconscious and go into a meditative state. I know that in these last few months, I’ve certainly become more mentally aware and calm after trying meditation. I also believe that shifting is a good thing. 
However, I also believe that everything happens for a reason. It may seem cliche, but I do. When you shift, that is because of some purpose. And there is some purpose that is keeping you in this reality, your CR. That is not to say that you can’t shift, that it’s not possible, that is not what I am saying; I mean that, while shifting is possible, it should be taken as a temporary escape and a fun thing to do.   
I know these beliefs arn’t shared with some (or most) of the shiftblr community, and everyone is valid in their own belief. 
Now, with that out of the way, let’s get to the question. 
What does it feel like to return to your CR after being in your DR?
I can understand why you would be worried. If you shift to a DR where you could have everything you’ve ever wanted and more--such as meeting your comfort characters or finally getting away from something that was bothering you--it may be hard to go back. I know I’ve heard stories of good and bad things that happened to shifters who have successfully shifted, of how they reached to wave their wand and realized they weren’t in their DR anymore. Going back to the reality you started with may feel like moving from a mansion to a box on the streets. 
But that mindset can be harmful to your mental health. 
Focusing on the absence in your CR will be harmful to your mental health. It already is, even if you arn’t a shifter! I can understand that this reality can be harmful or bad to you, but it’s your reality. 
In my belief: You were put in this reality for a reason, a good reason. I know it seems tough, but something will happen and you will have a good life. And of course, your decisions are still your decisions--you can shift or do anything else whenever you want. 
There are a lot of good things that your CR has that your DR doesn’t, and focusing on those may help that problem. But if you feel like you need serious help, maybe therapy would be a good option. 
Another thought: Once you successfully shift, it will be much easier to go back. While you should keep the balance between your DR and your CR and some moderation between the two, you can go back.  
How long do people stay in their DR?
Honestly, I think it depends on the person. I’ve heard many stories, and they’ve all been varied. People have stayed for 80 years, 40 years, a week, etc. 
It depends on your CR/DR time ratio and how long you actually want to shift for. 
What is the longest period you’d recommend staying for?
Going on again with my beliefs: I don’t recommend staying for all those 80 years or whatever. When you finally shift, it’s tempting to just. not leave. But for a beginner shifter, you need to get used to it. I’d say shift for only a week your first time, then maybe a month, then you can go longer. Don’t rush things. 
But for a max time? Personally, I’d say three months per go, but that’s just my personal opinion. 
How long you shift is up to you, but I don’t believe it should be used to escape from this reality. 
Hope this helps, and feel free to send an ask with follow-up questions!

my ask getting removed? Lmaoo shiftblr just as bad as shiftok 0 discussions can be had if it's anything outside of mainstream ones it's why both platforms talk in circles
Hello? I don't think I've removed any asks? The only one I remember removing is one thanking me for posting an ask? I just thought it didn't need to be posted as it felt more like a message to me
If it wasn't that then it's probably in queue/inbox, I admit I've been slacking on answering asks lately 😭
Sorry bout that :<

Introduction Post!
Hello Shiftblr! 
I am spirit kid/stray kitten or you can call me AG (for now, I am still searching for a name that will fit me) and I am 16 years old. My pronouns are she/them and I am a queer demi-girl. I am an eclectic witch and a tarot reader youtuber going by Spirit Kid and can be found on the DR/Respawn Amino as Stray Kitten. I have been trying to shift since May 2020 after discovering subliminals and have had many mini-shifts in the form of mini mandela effects and have gotten very close multiple times. I may not have had a major shifting experience yet but I have lots of information on shifting and am willing to help to the best of my ability if anyone asks :) 
This is a sideblog (my main is @teenage-human) and will mostly be my shifting updates and also an archive for my scripts and reality shifting related stuff. I may also post about updates on reality shifting related videos on my youtube channel and my clone/alternate self will post here as well when I shift. 
As I mentioned, I am a witch and a tarot reader, though I don’t practice super actively because bad mental health lol but I have a strong intuition and have been practicing for a long time. I’ve been into witchcraft and spirituality since I was 9 (my mum is very spiritual and has been very supportive) and I started reading with tarot when I was 14. Despite all of this I still consider myself a beginner as I only began actively practicing the craft in the last year and a half. I may also post some pick a card related to shifting on this blog or answer some personal questions with my cards(to do with shifting only!) but I will not always accept asks or requests for readings! Only when I specify that personal readings are open, please do not ask for readings otherwise, please understand that it takes a lot of energy and time and I may not have that. And yes all readings will be free till I say otherwise :)
[TW: RESP*WNING] I am not open for debating and discussing resp*wning unless you are willing to keep an open mind and genuinely learn and educate yourself on it. I am not a resp*wner, i do not encourage it or condemn it (unless you are a minor.) You may unfollow me and not interact with me if that bothers you but no need to be rude or send hate.
Uh, I guess this is all?
