at this point I already knew I was dreaming and I could feel myself lifting up and away from my body, and was like 'hell nah I'm not waking up in my o/r" like I ALWAYS say.. except this time it actually worked.

I woke up in my bed and immediately grabbed my phone again like the addict I am, obviously thinking I was back in my o/r. Except I had a completely different phone. It was white and had a home button with a clear case, and looked something like a Samsung. I'm so shiftingpilled my immediate first thought was "no way I just shifted" and saw the date which confirmed it all, Aug 1, 2005.

when I tell you my heart dropped to my stomach I looked around my room, which had the same setup except things were slightly different. I still had my pegboard up and noticed I didn't have any kpop stuff on it, I didn't manage to catch many details because of how filled with adrenaline I was, knowing this had been MY dream since October 2020, and I was finally here after never losing hope.

it felt overwhelming as there was so many things I wanted to do, stalk myself through my phone - go onto the camera roll, what did I watch? what did I like? what were my interests? what's different with my relationships and the people in my life?

because of how shaky I was I ended up not doing much in the time that I was there, I didn't even leave my room ☠. I looked at my mirror and noticed not much had changed about me at all, but I did notice my features were very slightly different and I had really cute natural pink blush on my face. I think I might have been a few years younger there - maybe 15-16. I don't even remember what I was wearing because of how excited I was.. I touched this scab on my leg that I had in my o/r (i was doing all sorts of reality checks HRHKF) and it was actually way smaller than compared to here? which was interesting I guess..

then I opened up my curtains and it was snowing!! which never happens in the area that I live of New Zealand. Everything outside was COATED in a thick layer of sparkling white glittery snow, it was so beautiful. even the leaves on the tree - which was dead in my o/r. I also noticed how my next door neighbor's house was no longer there and instead it was just empty land, and I presumed people used it to go on walks because I heard a group of people laughing and chatting outside (which is why I opened up my window) and they were all dressed up in boots and puffer jackets and beanies with the pompom at the end. MIND YOU WHEN I OPENED THE WINDOW I FELT COLD AIR!!!! IT WAS REAL!!!!!

then I saw this girl my age walking up to my open window and told me that she liked my pegboard in a really nervous voice, she was stuttering so much and talking really quietly she was so cute :( and she was about to leave but I asked her what's her name and she told me and I DONT REMEMBERRR FML BUT IT SOUNDED SO PRETTY AND STARTED WITh L. and then she asked me what my name was very nervously and she told me it sounded pretty then she ran away </3

I went over to my desk to do more digging and picked up a Polaroid of me and my cousin playing with each other, and my mum had written something on the bottom of it, something about has having fun together.

I noticed my laptop was a much older version and had worn out stickers on it and opened it up and entered in my password that I have in my o/r and it actually worked?? I noticed I had downloaded a rilakkuma theme to Google so all my tabs had little rilakkuma faces with green pink and yellow pastel colours, and Google did look much different.

I must say I have a feeling that this reality was slightly more technologically advanced than here, because the phone I had as well as my laptop were models that were made in the early 2010s, and it was 2005 there.

I went onto Spotify to see what music I liked and to my surprise I saw Steeeam by Shelly already playing, which meant Clairo and Shelly were already a thing back in 2005 over there?? also thinking about the snow, in early August NZ is still in winter, but it never snows here, so i'm thinking maybe in this reality the climate is much better than over here.

that's pretty much all I got to do.. I picked a random song I had never heard before and started listening to it.. and then istg I just blinked and opened my eyes back in my o/r bed, and the time was 10:20. I was in actual disbelief and my immediate thought was to call my bff who's also a shifter.

some questions I have for experienced shfiters, why do you think I didn't get my memories from that reality? I was definitely there for at least a good half an hour, and I shifted back without wanting to as well. my theory is that I wasn't grounded enough as I was still in disbelief. I also think that because whenever I try to shift from a dream I don't have a particular dr in mind so I always try to think up of a waiting room sort of place that looks like my o/r with a few things changed, which does sound like the most logical explanation. (tbh this makes me more pissed bc I could've tried shifting to my bts dr since I always script that I can shift wherever I want whenever I want in my waiting rooms

so this dr was entirely inspired by the thirst episode of smallville in s5 and this tweet I saw which sparked the whole idea:

it’s pretty much the same concept except there’s no sorority and it’s just me and the katseye members .. and we aren’t evil😭 I’m yet to create backstories and stuff but I’m going to script I do have special powers (bc I’m literally yn) and .. just to make it a little different I’m gonna have my s/o be clark and then we’ll break up and then I’ll date minhyun (I can’t imagine permanently dating anyone else than him so in he goes into my script 😛)

me and the members will attend smallville high together and I have a part time job at the talon where I’m also friends with lois and lana. (and chloe too!!)
