hi just discovered a shifting superpower and it's called "going into the void state visualising what happened BEFORE you shift into the dr"
for example i always shift to when i wake up in my dr, so i was in the void state, imagining what happened while i was falling asleep
TELL ME WHY i literally got VIOLENT FLASHBACKS, LIKE ACTUAL MEMORIES, OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DR BEFORE I FELL ASLEEP
.
and it felt so much like i was already in my dr, like i was my dr self thinking about a memory, and i could see everything and EVERYTHING AND—
and then i got pulled out of it because i REALISED i felt like i was in my DR, and it kinda felt like that one transition where everything zooms out and then everything is just. black.
but MY EYES DIDN'T OPEN, EVERYTHING WAS LITERALLY JUST BLACK. i've been in the void state but THIS WAS DIFFERENT. it wasn't just a meditative state, it felt like i was for real in a completely black space, no up or down, nothing tangible around me
and then i got pulled back into the CR.
i will now be assuming that i'm a prophet and i only didn't manage to shift this time so that i could share the method with the masses and then shift the next time
what am i calling it?
THE RECAP METHOD
how do you use the method?
pick any number to count to. the number isn't what matters, what matters is your intention; "i will enter the void state once i count to this number." if you get distracted/reminded of the CR while counting, start over.
you're in the void state. don't think about it too hard, don't go "wow i can't feel anything," because then you'll likely start to feel again, which will ground you back in reality and out of the void state.
while in the void state, pick a scenario for how you got to the point you'll shift to. play it out in your mind, visualise it; did you drink hot cocoa in the kitchen before coming back to your room for the night? was it tasty? did you talk to anyone? how were you feeling emotionally? did you fall asleep immediately? did you toss and turn? are you in bed alone, or with someone else, or with a pet? or maybe you're not in your own bedroom at all — you're with your S/O after a freaky (or not) night, or you're in the hospital after a car accident. it doesn't matter where you are, just make sure you know how you got there. you're not imagining, it already happened, it is done; you're REMEMBERING.
things might start feeling really real around here. that's fine. focus on the present; you're already in your DR, it's no big deal, you already shifted. right? right.
anyway, once you get to the target point, focus on that. affirm where, when, and with who you are, how you're feeling emotionally, etc. (for me, i affirm that i'm asleep in x place in my dr, so i'll wake up naturally when the shift is done). get in the mind of your DR self, and know, in your heart, that there is no difference between your DR and CR self, because you're already in your DR right now.
it's just normal shifting from here. ground yourself in your DR. rant to your subconscious about what you have planned for the day, how you feel about the people in your life, if you're excited for the outfit you preplanned today, if you hope it'll be a sunny day or maybe a rainy one. hell, use the 54321 method for panic attacks and tell yourself what you're seeing/feeling instead of checking if you're in your DR/checking the 3D for validation. just be your DR self, and your DR will appear around you. congratulations, you've shifted.
(a/n): this is based heavily off my two best shifts, as well as @sheeezu's method. if you ask me, the key to shifting is literally just being your DR self (which @stilljuststardust explained better in their post). that's why this method (remembering) worked so well for me, that's why my last shift happened while i was thinking about my childhood in my DR, and that's why many people tell you to imagine being your DR self/getting in your DR self's mind so you can shift. someone once said your 4D/consciousness shifts first and the 3D/surroundings/senses follows after, and i think that's the best way to put it. of course, what works for me might not work for everyone, this is just based on my personal experience.

Shifting is essentially a conscious transition between mental states—akin to deep meditation, lucid dreaming, or self-induced dissociation. Your brain is already capable of generating fully immersive, hyper realistic experiences without external input. Just think of vivid dreams or hallucinations. All of that? Your brain. Not a simulation. Not magic. Just neuroplasticity and brainwave manipulation.
Here’s what happens when you “shift”
• You enter a deep theta or delta state (linked to sleep and subconscious access).
•You detach from the sensory input of your current reality.
•Your imagination becomes your dominant reality and your brain treats imagined scenarios as real, neurologically speaking.
•Repetition and belief rewire neural pathways, making this process easier over time.
Now go shift
Oh shoot I just remembered something
I took a nap earlier in the afternoon and even though I didn't sleep for long, I had a dream...
I don't remember most of it (as one usually does) but what I do remember is putting on my roller skates... and in the [I think] school I was in, I somehow had the determination and confidence to actually skate really fast...
Like I did such a sharp turn and even jumped and I remember that part so so vividly I felt so excited !
I'm taking this as a little sign that I'm shifting to my sk8ti dr very very soon ☆
“shifting showed me the will to live a thousand lives, when i didn’t even have the strength to live one.”
I tried a guided meditation yesterday but my device shut off halfway through so I just went to sleep. This, in turn, delayed my uhhh... contemplation of giving up and so I did wake up today (clearly). And throughout today I got a new hope and I decided that I would use an unused little hello kitty notebook to my advantage and use it to persist in my wicca practices, mainfestations, and my permashift ofc. (and overall not give up just yet)
So long story short, I'm still on thin ice but at least I'm gonna keep persisting because shifting is literally saving my life, and I've gone on for this long with it. So why not continue? I'm tired, but I want it really bad. I do.
If you're a shifter who struggles with hyperfixations coming and going, or feeling like you can never stick to a DR for long, it's important to remember that in each DR you're a whole different person with emotions separate from your CR. Let me explain:
It ultimately doesn't change anything if you shift somewhere at the height of your hyperfixation, or when you've become slightly disinterested in that reality as a whole. Your DR self won't be any different for it! You'll wake up there and feel excited, happy, in tune with your surroundings and a complete memory of always having lived in that place.
Remember that DR you wanted to shift to 3, 4 years ago? No matter how you feel about it now in your CR, if you shifted there today, your feelings upon waking up would be the exact same as they would've been all those years ago.
You can shift scared, angry, sad, and yes — disinterested & bored! What matters is that you do shift. You'll see that that dusty, forgotten old DR is gonna become a hell of a lot more interesting & exciting again once you're actually there. Try sticking with your current DR a little longer; it'll be worth it.
