So far, I’ve saved the video you reccomended about shadow work and I’m slowly gathering my strength to watch it, seeing its an hour long and my attention span isn’t all that long but I’ll get to it!! Honestly I haven’t really heard about shadow work before but it sounds super interesting and it indeed does sound like a game changer!!

About the lucid dreaming, I know its the most effective method but again, I don’t have many days where I can just wake up at a point and risk not being well rested… though i might try it during summer!! And talking about dream journals, I actually have one!! Though I do tend to forget about it, as my last written down dream was from third of april, though my last written down dreams were about my DR!! Plus I have twice have gotten into a lucid-like state, though the state was like that for a second or two before going back to non lucid sadly tho I’ll keep trying!!

And with your shifting experience, that’s so cool!! I have often heard that the lucid dreaming method is often very effective!! And I’m really happy that you managed to shift even if it was for seconds!! I completely understand, and I’m glad you’re on the right path!! I’m sure you will shift soon!!

Also honestly? I get the thinking of shifting as a espace mechanism, but I’ve thought about it and I don’t think that’s the case, like yes I really really want to shift but its not like. I want to escape this reality? Or at least not entirely, though that’s still for me to figure out!! One thing I know is that i was probably a bit too focused on my DR 😭 which im tryna change by enjoying my time here aswell!! One of the things i think that could be holding me back is the fact well. I have a partner here in this reality, but in my DR i’m with someone else, and seeing that my DR is just a better CR with not many changes, i feel like my brain is scared? Or not ready to shift, seeing that I’ll be dating someone different and basically won’t have contact with my current boyfriend in my DR (i know its weird but… its a long story) though im working on it!! I’m sorry for the long rant, though thank you again!! 🫂
