"If You Are Already In Barbados, Why Would You Be Talking About Going To Barbados?" 

Idk if I've talked about this before, but I saw someone post about why people who have been trying to shift for so long might not be shifting (this might not apply to everyone, but it really clicked with me). They only explained why, so I'm gonna talk about the solution I came up with.

They specifically said that it was not tough love, but psychological facts: it's possible that your mind registers shifting as a goal in THIS reality.

Think about that for a second. This is the part that really got me when I started to think about it. When you are here, in your CR, your goal is to shift, right? So what if our minds interprets that as a goal IN THIS REALITY, as simple as going to bed thinking "oh, I'm going to unload the dishwasher in the morning." Because shifting is just aligning with your DR self, and guess what?? Your goal in your DR is not to shift! That blew up my brain a little bit.

"But i want to shift" you know how everyone keeps saying "you are already in your DR"? I interpreted that for so long as motivation. It's not. It's the process. To align with your DR self, just like aligning with another person in your CR you have to have the same goals.

So your goal is no longer to shift. Stop thinking like that. Your goal IS NOT TO SHIFT. Waking up where you are meant to has never been a goal, but an expectation. Your goal is to wake up and go downstairs to have breakfast with your DR friends or family. Your goal is to wake up and get to class on time to ace that Defence Against The Dark Arts quiz you totally forgot to study for until the night before. Your goal is to wake up and win that Oscar, to break that curse, destroy the One Ring, you fucking name it babes.

I don't know if this is really dumb and obvious, but it wasn't for me before, so I really hope this post helps someone else too.

If you rely on shifting for whatever reasons bc of your mental health then keep doing that don't let shifttok or anyone tell you that you shouldn't. Some of you guys are forgetting that there are being who still here bc of shifting.

5 Day Lucid Dream to Void State Challenge Instructions

There are 3 major lucid dream techniques we will employ during the duration of this challenge. If for whatever reason, you can not do one, that is fine. Just do whichever one you can. All 3 have really good success rates and just doing one is enough, I am just giving options and I know some people like having more to do.

#1: WBTB

This is arguably one of the most effective and popular lucid dream techniques to exist. The steps are simple:

1. Go to sleep and set an alarm after 5-6 hours. This is to interrupt your REM cycle.

2. Get up and do something for anywhere between 10-60 minutes. During this time, try to think about lucid dreaming, how you're going to lucid dream, etc.

3. Go back to sleep knowing you're going to enter a lucid dream.

Here are some posts to check out for this method: WBTB #1, WBTB #2, WBTB #3

(Now two of these are WBTB+recliner chair method posts which is not a lucid dream method but a void state method but I wanted to share to show how powerful WBTB can be and that you can even enter the void state directly using the WBTB method. Since this a lucid dream challenge I will not go into detail about this but you can check out this success story that explains it clearly).

#2: WrILD

WrILD stands for Writing Induced Lucid Dreaming and as the name suggests, all you need to do is write down your intention on a piece of paper to enter a lucid dream.

You should do it before bed, anywhere between right before to 2 hours before. Just take out a piece of paper and write an affirmation such as "I will lucid dream tonight" 50 to 100 times. It is super important to believe it and know it will come to fruition.

Here are some posts to check out: WrILD #1, WrILD #2

#3: ETILD

ETILD stands for Eye Twitch Induced Lucid Dream and it is where you mimic the eye twitches you experience during REM sleep to trick your body into REM sleep which you can then use to lucid dream. The steps are simple:

#1: Do 2 cycles of the 4-7-8 breathing method (Imhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8).

#2: Close your eyes and start moving your eyes rapidly left and right, up and down or in a circular motion.

#3: You will start to get lucid dream symptoms and enter a lucid dream.

Here are some posts to check out: ETILD #1, ETILD #2

If you have any issues with any of the above, that's fine. Just do what you can. Ideally here are the steps:

#1: Before going to sleep, do WrILD.

#2: Set an alarm clock for after 5-6 hours so you can do WBTB.

#3: Wake up and stay up for a few minutes and think about lucid dreaming. You can do WrILD again if you want.

#4: Go back to bed and do ETILD.

#5: Enter a lucid dream, stabilize it, and enter the void state through your desired method.

You can definetly employ other methods of your choosing as well. If you get goof results from subliminals, start listening to lucid dream subliminals or if you're an affirm and persist person, go ahead and do that. Make this customizable and effective for you.

Something I would love is if you guys would write down exactly what steps you're going to take and track it on your blogs so that when you succeed, people can know exactly what you did to enter and mimic your steps. You can tag it with #5dayldtovschallenge. I can't wait to see all your success stories!

You will shift. You will enter the void. All the effort you put in will be worth it. All your tears, frustration, sadness and anger won’t matter anymore. All the years you’ve spent trying won’t matter anymore. You will be happy. You will experience wonderful things. You will do it.

Don’t give up.

STOP POST-PONING YOUR DREAM LIFE!!!!

BRO!!! YOU WOULD HAVE ENTERED/WOKE UP IN THE VOID STATE BY NOW IF YOU JUST EMBODIED THE STATE OF SOMEONE WHO ALWAYS ENTERS THE VOID EFFORTLESSLY!!! IT’S THAT SIMPLE!!!

I EMBODIED THAT STATE FOR A DAY AND ENTERED THE VOID STATE, IN A LOUD CLASSROOM IN THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION KNOWN TO MAN!!!! ON A HARD ASS DESK AND CHAIR!!! WITH MY TEACHER YAPPING IN THE BACKGROUND!!! ALL BECAUSE I HELD THE ASSUMPTION THAT I ENTER EFFORTLESSLY AND UNDER 5 MINUTES AND GUESS WHAT?! I ENTERED IN UNDER 5 MIN!!!! LMFAO

HOW BAD DOES YOUR LIFE HAVE TO GET FOR YOU TO DISCIPLINE YOURSELF AND ENTER THE VOID STATE!!!

STOP WAITING FOR TOMORROW, OR AT NIGHTTIME!

God, this shifting thing is really becoming a necessity, I can't stand anything or anyone here, I need to leave as soon as possible.

HELP I THINK I SHIFTED HERE !?!? 😭😭😭

I know love exists because shifters exist and they are traveling the multiverse for their loved ones.

officially giving up on my cr

shifttok is so obsessed with rationalizing shifting. literally everything they say is trying to justify why they didnt shift.

"i didnt shift last night because i just said affirmations and went to sleep" BITCH. people do that ALL THE TIME and they DO shift

"i didnt shift because i put my dr on a pedestal" people put their dream colleges on a pedestal. THEY STILL GO TO THOSE COLLEGES make it make sense

"i didnt shift because blah blah blah" bro.. you didnt shift because you're imposing these rules upon yourself that didnt exist in the first place.

think about it. you're jogging on a clear path at a nice pace, you know that you're gonna get to your destination soon. SUDDENLY you start putting down hurdles you have to jump over and holes that you have to avoid. does that make sense to you?

you can shift. everybody can shift. i spent literally 4 years trying to figure out how to shift when i already knew. fucking take a breather and just do what feels right.

the first time i shifted i turned on a sub and went to sleep. no affirmations, no method.

"i dont like doing affirmations, i get distracted." then dont! no one said u needed to

"i have trouble focusing on my method and i keep wandering off" then do that! just let go

you will shift because thats just what happens. this isnt some superpower. instead of searching for the key, realize that you are the key.
