Shift To Desired Reality And Live Out Fantasies
Reality shifting by scripting helps individuals escape the stresses of life and enter a fictional universe that brings them comfort. Graphic by Ollie Smith
A new trend has come from TikTok. Reality shifting is what’s new to the internet and has many people wanting to try it.
Reality shifting is when you move your subconscious while you’re sleeping, “shifting” to a different reality consciously.
Sophomore Emily Ruiz said, “I was really interested in shifting because it seemed really cool to experience a different reality other than mine. I first heard about it actually on YouTube and not TikTok.”
A popular reality to shift to at the moment is Hogwarts from the Harry Potter franchise. With reality shifting, people get to experience their childhood dreams of being a witch/wizard and even flying on a broom.
“I have tried shifting to Hogwarts because being a witch there in my favorite movie or environment would seem super cool and fun,” said Ruiz.
There are a multitude and variety of ways to be able to shift, often called Methods of shifting. A lot of shifters say listening to subliminals, meditating, and saying positive affirmations will also help raise your vibrations, which in turn helps you shift to your desired reality.
“I have done only the Raven method and also listen to subliminals while saying positive affirmations,” said Ruiz.
The Raven method along with the pillow method, The Alice in Wonderland method and many others are very popular methods to use while shifting. You may also make a “script”, which is an outline for what you would like to happen in your desired reality.
Oftentimes, most methods start off with you laying in a starfish position and counting to 100 while saying positive affirmations in between. Furthermore, you would go into more depth of shifting by imagining where you’d like to be, who will be there, and what you see, and using your five senses will help you shift.
Since shifting has gained popularity and awareness on TikTok, lots of people have tried it and successfully shifted. A lot of the comments when they’re back from shifting say it was very vivid and felt absolutely real.
The most effective method of shifting for most people is the Raven Method. This method consists of laying down in a starfish position and counting to 100 while saying positive affirmations in between each number.
While doing that, you must stay still, and no body parts are to be touching. Meanwhile, you are to imagine yourself in your DR (desired reality), or anything that relates to where you are shifting too.
Many say that when they are starting to try to shift, they feel symptoms of wanting to move, twitching, or dizzy. Some also say to script that you can smell a strong scent such as coffee to know that you have shifted.
“I got super twitchy and started seeing faint white light across my eyelids. Very interesting, but of course since it was my first time trying I did not make it. I did keep trying and I made sure to script every time before shifting. I scripted that before I got to my dream reality I wanted to smell apples and cinnamon. Shifting you do need to take a break as it could actually affect you in your current reality. You could feel confused, dizzy, or not focused at all if you go at it too much with no rest day,” said Ruiz.

I’ve been wondering how descriptive your script has to be if I try the Pillow Method. Do I describe the places, or do I just write it in a theater style? I’ve been trying to shift to the Glade from the TMR series, has anyone ever shifted there?

Čo sa stane keď tam ostanem dovtedy kým neumriem tak tam bude nekonečno + ešte dakto by mi vedel poradiť metódu ktorá funguje ?
Bookworm • Jan 24, 2022 at 1:53 pm
I really want to shift, but I’m worried I’ll get stuck or something. I keep trying anyways though, and I get really close but then I wake up the next morning and it’s like No? Guess I’m trying again tonight.
Angie • Jan 28, 2022 at 6:14 am
You won’t get stuck because you can just say your safe word and come back to your CR or if you don’t have a safe word then t’s okay too because your brain will know when you want to go back to your CR, i’m also still trying to shift but i also won’t give up, remember to rest for a couple of days and then try again. I hope you shift, you got this!.
Yee yee • Mar 16, 2022 at 10:21 am
you cant make a saying to get out of it and it can be whatever you want for example: my code to get out is “~O daddy~” dont ask why but when i did it it felt awsome also your in full control so you can get out whenever you want
Scarlett • Jan 8, 2022 at 8:40 am
Dude, i tried this and like my adhd was acting up so I just kept twitching so then I tried 8d music but that didn’t work bc when I was counting I kept losing count and then at 100 I would open my eyes and I got upset when I wasn’t there bc unless I’m genuinely asleep , my eyes WILL NOT stay close. UGHHHHHHHHH. (Shifting, attempt 1404)
Scarlett • Jan 7, 2022 at 7:55 pm
I did this and i knew i was rlly close but then my cat came ina dn it scared me and I ended up counting to 100 like 20 times. in the future, I wanna go to either the salvatore school (legacies) or just my life but like 50x’s better, y’know? no bossy little sister, no fighting parents, nadda.
Alex/nicole • Mar 1, 2022 at 6:14 pm
Scarlett i think i know you irl if its not you its fine ;-; but if it is im trying this tonight :>
Katherine Holland • Jan 2, 2022 at 1:29 pm
I’m trying to shift to the MCU
Aline Barbay • Jan 2, 2022 at 11:46 am
Can you also shift to a reality you make up yourself? Because I have been trying but if it isn’t possible then i know I have to shift to somewhere else
chloe • Mar 2, 2022 at 1:11 pm
ofc! lots of people shift successfully, to fame realities and stuff where they’re famous, and some live in a cottagecore lifestyle, so the options are endless.
No • Dec 27, 2021 at 8:28 am
I wanna try it but is it like a dream where you can make the characters do what you want?
axel • Mar 16, 2022 at 10:24 am
kinda but no because your in full control of what you want to happen
Annalise • Nov 25, 2021 at 9:39 pm
This seems very useful! I am about to try to shift for the first time tonight. I just have one question. Will you just start to see things, or will you open your eyes? Tonight I am going to try leaving my eyes closed but if you know please reply and let me know I will visit this sight often. Thank you and if you read this have an excellent day!
Killiana • Nov 24, 2021 at 12:27 pm
How do i know when to open my eyes
Emily Pheonix Potter • Nov 9, 2021 at 8:35 pm
im too young 4 this but im gonna try it anyways
Nicole • Nov 5, 2021 at 3:30 pm
So before i want to shift i was wondering if someone could give me an example of an affirmation and when i write my script do i memorise it or do i put it somewhere?(like under my pillow i have heard people do that)
daye • Nov 1, 2021 at 6:26 pm

maybanksmalfoy'sgirl • Sep 14, 2021 at 4:46 am
Gente eu ainda não consegui, mas eu cheguei MUITO perto pq misturei dois métodos, o da escada e o Raven. Que consiste em vc se imaginar subindo em uma escada e cada degrau é um número, vc conta até 100 alternando com afirmações ”eu sou… eu estou..” também é bom falar partes do script. Quando vc chegar no final da escada imagina uma pessoa da sua DR falando ”vc está pronta(o)” ou ”vamos para casa” coisas desse tipo. Se imagine atravessando uma porta com essa pessoa (sempre afirmando) e durma.. Se n tiver com sono ainda vai afirmando até dormir…
É muito importante vc imaginar os míseros detalhes use seus sentidos pra te ajudar nisso, imagine a cor, textura, temperatura, iluminação, vibração etc.
Beba bastante água, eu estou meditando todo dia por 15 minutos tbm ajuda, mas n tente shiftar todo dia, é ruim pra sua energia e não ligue para comentários do tipo ”vc n consegue” ou ”isso n existe”, eles só vão te atrapalhar, isso existe e é tão real quanto essa realidade..
Coloque suas experiências aqui, ajuda as outras pessoas tbm..
Você consegue!
Patrick Blais • Aug 3, 2021 at 11:05 am
Ok I tried but I could feel my body becoming numb and I can also feel a feeling of levitation but I don’r know what to do next. Do I open my eyes or keep them closed?
What is the raven method?
Lance B • Nov 29, 2021 at 1:22 pm
You’re supposed to just let yourself fall asleep when you feel that way. Once your asleep you may wake up in your DR. You will shift at some point. We all shift at somepoint. Just keep working with it. Also make sure that you have a safe word to travel back into the CR.
I'm done. • Dec 7, 2021 at 5:50 pm
I just shifted for three years. but in my cr its been seconds.. I can’t go back to this.

good
cass • Jun 18, 2021 at 12:11 am
what does affirmations mean
Idk- • Nov 3, 2021 at 11:53 am
Affirmations are phrases or words that trick your mind into shifting or they encourage you and your mind into shifting 🙂
cass • Jun 18, 2021 at 12:11 am
what does affirmations mean
idk • Dec 22, 2021 at 6:16 am
Affirmations are positive says or sentences like, ” I will shift” or “I can shift” or “I can/will successfully shift to my DR”
there are many but feel free to choose
I recommend Searching up some on the internet and choosing your favorite ones to say.

This works really well, I’ve shifted many times before even realizing what i was doing. Thank you for informing me of what shifting is.
Scarlett • Jan 7, 2022 at 7:57 pm
im glad this works imma try in out 🙂
yesmt • May 13, 2021 at 10:13 pm
dam this kinda weird
ghost • May 4, 2021 at 6:53 pm
to clarify, shifting is literally moving your consciousness to a different reality. it feels and is as real as the reality you are in right now.
anoonymous • Apr 4, 2021 at 6:57 am
Ok so I think I was very close because I was trying to shift to the icewing kingdom from the wings of fire series and I started to smell my scripted scent which was peppermint and began to feel you know dizzy and twitchy but I started to get chills. Is this a normal thing or could it be because I was trying to shift somewhere cold? I don’t know but all I know was I heard a roar like what a dragon would make and then the chills got unbearable so I woke up. This was my first time shifting but do these signs seem like enough for me to know that I was close? I am so exited.
shifter • Oct 14, 2021 at 7:26 am
I have shifted to someplace cold before and yes those are normal symptoms when trying to go into a cold reality I suggest to just put some blankets on you before starting to shift and when imagining your DR (desired reality)imagine having warm clothes on
hope • Mar 31, 2021 at 9:29 am
I’ve heard about shifting from a friend and shes told me of her experiences and getting close so it gives me hope. I thought i’d do a little research of my own. I find it fascinating how all of this is supposed to work. I haven’t tried it yet but i’m glad I found this information making it simple and easy to understand. I am excited to try it out!
anonymous • Mar 28, 2021 at 7:24 pm
i have once tried to shift myself actually, and i was really close to doing it my legs were starting to feel numb then my upper waist and then my arms and after that i heard Draco say “you’re almost home.” which that is what made me wake up because i got really excited and almost nearly cried. but i’m going to try to attempt again tomorrow i tried again tonight but i started twitching and woke up, but thanks for the info!
Nova • Jan 1, 2022 at 6:27 pm
That your almost home line almost litaraly.. Broke me and I’m just reading it!
Addie • Mar 27, 2021 at 10:12 am
Hey! Quick question so this says all the stuff to start shifting but like when your in there and your done how do you stop? Like if you had to get up or something but you don’t know how to stop
Nova • Jan 1, 2022 at 6:19 pm
I don’t know mutch about shifting but I’ve herd that if you script an event that needs to hapen before you shift you wake up after that hapend also ife heard many shifters use a save word to wake up.
Aurian • Jan 17, 2022 at 1:22 am
ive seen people do the same thing there and shift back,, or some people have a safe word that they use to bring them back.
Sammy • Jan 27, 2022 at 9:09 pm
I tried for the first time and it didint work but I am not going to give up!!! I felt like I was levitating and my feet and hands started to get numb, I imagined I was in the great hall siting next to Draco, I imagined me eating chicken, rice and salad, then I would look around, I would see harry and Ron siting next to each other talking about god knows what and in front of them was Hermione and Ginny talking about boys, a few seats from them was Fred and Gorge laughing. In the hufelpuff table I saw Cedric digory laughing with his friends, in the revenclaw table I saw Cho Chang and Luna talking. I looked at the end of the hallway to see all the professors, Dumbeldor, Mcgonagal, Snape, hagrid and the rest. I looked at mi self and saw I was wearing grey sweat pants and a grey top, I had a few rings on, also a few other jewelry. I did a few other things and at one point i swear I smelt chicken but I can’t fall asleep because after a while there is this urg to move your body. I will trie agien tomorrow and I will never give up on shifting!!!!
taylor • Mar 21, 2021 at 8:39 pm
I did smell the thing I chose to smell, but when I opened my eyes I was still in my room going to try again tomorrow in the morning when I am in a more relaxed state!
Lorena • Feb 1, 2022 at 2:53 pm
I think after the symptoms or the smell part you gotta let your body rest and eventually fall asleep and when you wake up you should be in your dr

I have just finished my script it took me from 10 pm to 5 am on zero sleep I’m very happy and exited to reach my dr or wr

The first time I heard about shifting was on Tom Felton’s Live, so than I took it in my hands and did my research and at first I didn’t really understand what it was talking about but I found it interesting. I feel like shifting will be amazing, I just have to make sure I script ” Im not able to come back to my CR” due to personal reasons, unless I change it on the “Life app”. Reminder: Drink lots of water, Meditate, Visualize and script. I know a lot of people do this but I have a Pinterest Board: smileluvs, about shifting: Methods, Script, etc. I don’t personally care about follows, I just want to HELP you with shifting the best I can.

I have been trying to shift for a while now, and I really need to get the voice out of my head that always says, “Oh, you won’t shift tonight, you never will!” Every time I try! It always happens and I want to be positive. Can you help me?
Nova • Jan 1, 2022 at 6:24 pm
You kan shift you know you kan I believe in you, it might look hard now but it Wil go good later I promise you I moselfe haven’t been able to shift to but there is a saying in the Netherlands:niet geschoten is altijd mis whitch translates to something omong te lines of if you don’t try it you Wil never succeed so don’t give up!
Kirishima simp :) • Mar 12, 2021 at 2:07 pm
This helped a lot, I realized I was doing the raven method wrong which is probably one of the reasons I have not been able to shift yet, I had been forgetting to say the affirmations. But this helped a lot and I’m going to try and shift tonight!! 🙂
Samantha • Jan 6, 2022 at 10:29 am
When saying them do I say out loud or in my head?
Loranne • Mar 1, 2021 at 6:06 am
I’ve only just recently heard about reality shifting, but I’m so interested! I’ve read a few articles now, including this one, and I’m obsessed with the idea of wandering off to a reality of your liking. I’m going to try the raven method later/tonight.
Only remark though: what if you get more attached to the reality you’re shifting to than your own? Like, are there any dangerous aspects about shifting?
:) • Dec 7, 2021 at 5:35 pm
when you shift you can rewrite a script and go back.

This sounds cool, I might try reality shifting. I always wanted to try something like this for a while
CJ • Feb 25, 2021 at 8:56 pm
i’ve only heard about this 20 minutes ago, so would i need a script first?
Nova • Jan 1, 2022 at 6:26 pm
Most people use a script to visualise the world and the story they are going to beter, you kan also use a script to visualise your character and your relationship whit other characters, your clothes, your home, mamories you may have whit other characters and the events that are going to hapen to help you to shift.
CJ • Feb 25, 2021 at 8:53 pm
i havent only because ive never heard of this until 20 minutes ago, i don’t know how/what to do or say :’)
Greg • Feb 22, 2021 at 6:19 pm
This “movement” is very interesting, and I feel could potentially help in “waking and/or raising our collective consciousness!!
What I didn’t read in the article was the power and importance of setting a strong intention and visualizing (To visualize, imagine what it feels like, what are the various scents, the colors, the textures, even the temperature. Be as detailed and specific as possible and sit or lay in that silent visualized state for as long as necessary to imagine it being real) Then keep the image(s) you created in your silence and keep them in your thought as you drift off to sleep, intending for a safe, re-energized return to this dimension. It never hurts and ask your Higher Self to accompany you, keep you safe and protected.
I encourage anyone practicing these types of multi-dimensional experiences to practice them with a sense of respect and reverence for Universal Intelligence (or whatever you believe is greater than ourselves) We, alone, are not doing it. That’s what the ego wants us to believe, but there is a Universal Intelligence making all things possible.
We are all One, All Connected, to each other, to our beautiful Mother Gaia (Earth) to ALL things!! What if you used this “gift” as a way to raise the collective vibrational consciousness of the Planet?! We have far more power available to us. for good works, than we can imagine.
Be Love, share Love, show Love, give Love, receive Love to EVERYONE!! A smile, a wave, a hug, a heartfelt word, open the door for someone or just send them Love from a distance.
Peace, Love and may you Always have Enough❤️
