Reality shifting - Tiktok trend
Hello everyone,Have you heard about the reality shifting trend that's been going on on Tiktok for a while now? I just recently stumbled upon it and thought "well, that sounds a lot like maladaptive daydreaming!" here is an article on the subject.Basically, reality shifting is supposedly "going into another reality" while your real self remains asleep,…See More
"Ok but sorry I need to quote this like:
"I'm a witch and in ritual we often say we are "in a time that is no time, a place that is no place, we are between the worlds." That is the truest description of my life. And that is where…"
"Oh wow, that's really interesting! If you don't mind me asking, can I ask what about your daydreaming led to the loss of those jobs? I daydream a lot too, and trying to fight it definitely doesn't work for me. Also, not that you have…"
"I do have a similar thing happen to me, although not to the same intensity as you are describing. I've never had "anyone" I loved in my daydreams die, although sad things can happen to them. It does help that my daydreaming world…"
"I had never thought about this before, but I do think I most often daydream when my mind's at ease. Firstly, I'm a social drinker, and I don't MD when I'm around other people. As for anger or bad mood, I usually tend to focus…"

"I can relate a lot to this. The fact that I do this also always led me to the belief that I will end up as an old person who talks out loud to herself and makes conversation with imaginary people in her retirement home, lol. Feels like this is my…"
"Blanca, I am so glad if this was helpful for you!
And about my therapist, I was honestly so surprised. I had never talked about my MD before with previous therapists (I felt very ashamed and "crazy" for having it, and back then I…"
"Hi Melanie,
I must say it's only recently that I have been able to "keep" my MD somewhat in check. And of course, there are still times when I go into MD without realizing it (music is an especially strong trigger for me). Chronic…"
"Hi Blanca,
It is exactly the same for me, but I just want to share something my therapist told me that I thought might benefit us all. She said it's absolutely normal to experience a "relapse" of MD when we are isolated, but it…"
