Hello!! My name is Cyrus and i've been practicing shifting for 4-5 years now. I wanted to talk about something that's been weighing on my mind heavily lately and has been my #1 source of motivation, and maybe will be a motivator for you too.
I know that theres been an uptick of people saying that they've shifted to this reality, and I do not mean to discredit them in anyway, but I also can understand how some of these cases can be accredited to misplacing an object or misremembering something. Misremembering very well could be an explanation to my case but I've never been able to get closure out of it and something continues to nag me about it.
tl;dr - around 3-4ish I woke up alone on my couch in my living room with a deep sense that I was an unfamiliar place and, for lack of a better term, was in a different reality. My parents confirmed this happened but they don't remember me being confused or distraught. I cannot chalk this up to waking up in a different place then I fell asleep in since my parents confirmed I had fallen asleep ON that couch.
I was around 3-4ish and all I remember is waking up, alone, on the couch in my living room. Like any overwhelmed kid, I began to cry, but thats all I can really remember. I don't remember my parents coming to comfort me, BUT what I do remember is an overwhelming feeling of dread. I felt like I was somewhere else completely, like this house I was in was NOT my home or anywhere I was familiar with. Things felt strangely quiet, and maybe this is just something i've formulated after years of ruminating over it, but the only way I can explain it is as a feeling I had just came from a completely different life. I know this wasn't a case of falling asleep and waking up in a different place then I had been since A) I was old enough to understand that different parts of my house exist and B) I have had confirmation this happened as recently I asked my parents about it and they said I had fallen asleep on the couch and that they stepped away into another room. They don't remember me being upset or confused on where I was and they suggested that maybe I was distraught they had left, but I don't remember missing them or even understanding that they existed. I do remember a deep sense of wanting to go back to where I had been though.
A lot of my early childhood memories are small blips with little information so I can't quite label this as my first, but it definitely stands out as my most defined early childhood memory (I remember my internal monologue). All my other memories would be of this reality, as if this is where I was supposed to be- although often as a kid I would long to wake up or travel to another world (this could just be simply because I was bullied a lot, emotionally abused, and kids are often like this). I would often debate what that memory was even about and like I said I still haven't fully come to terms with it
I don't think I will ever find an explanation outside of shifting, and I don't particularly want to since it's such a great motivator to me, but I'd love to hear people's thoughts on it!
I genuinely think that as a kid your parents were probably around and when you they had left you felt alone and it causes you dread. Waking up and not remembering where you are is a common phenomena it could be confusion arousal, night terrors. I’ve woken up from my sleep scared and screaming because I had no clue where I was and what had happen. You could have had a bad dream. I don’t think you shifted from another reality. I don’t think that’s how shifting reality works. I think if it was truly significant your parents would have remembered it being a big deal but the fact that they don’t. I don’t think it was and in your head you might be over exaggerating what happened.
If I’m being honest. Sorry to discredit your story but it doesn’t actually make any sense and I’m not sure what you’re talking about

This is what doesn’t make sense to me. Shifting realities is a choice. You shift from your CR to your DR if you don’t desire this reality chances are you didn’t shift here. It’s also very intentional and none of this sounds intentional. Did you intentionally want to come where your parents are?
Secondly: people that shift realities don’t remember their past reality or that they have shifted. It’s just a normal day for them. The fact that you’re saying you felt dread. Which is something that doesn’t happens when you shift realities. You said things feel strangle quiet this has nothing to do shifting? Well in an empty room where you’re alone it would be quite quiet. I’m not sure why that info is important. It’s not a confirmation you shifted or anything. But most importantly you said you felt out of place you didn’t belong there. It was unfamiliar those aren’t signs of shifting it’s the complete opposite. But all 3 of those things are commonly seen in derealization panic attacks.
Lastly you said you didn’t want your parents to know they existed? I’m sure if you asked your parents if they exist their answer would be yes.
Idk this is just very confusing and you don’t have spot on memory of it. You said it yourself you’ve been ruminating over it for years and the thing about that is the more you ruminate over a memory the more likely it is for it to be altered. I can share a credible link if you want to understand the correlation between ruminating and alteration.
Do you remember what were you wearing that day?
