    Shifting feels like the experience of reading a good book so intently that you forget where you are.
  • Question
    How do I get back out of my DR? Or does it just happen?
    Ace
    Community Answer
    Usually there's a specific word, phrase or action you say or do to return to your current reality/original reality (CR/OR). A fun one is "Snap back to reality" from Lose Yourself by Eminem, because it makes sense! And don't worry, you can also return if you have your full intention to, but you can also script that you can't forget your specific phrase/action or shift back accidentally. Happy shifting!
