(Unpopular?) Reality Shifting Opinion: DR and CR Time
So Iâve had a few people ask me about scripting time and time in DR vs CR and can you time skip in your DR etc... so Iâm just gonna put my general ideas out there! [Long post incoming]
(Note: I donât speak for every shifter these are my own ideas and they might be wrong but idk!)
Time in our CR (current reality) here on Earth is 24 hrs in a day, and there are 7 days a week, about 52 weeks in a year, and 10 years is a decade. For the most part: that is all man-made time. Like someone one day just went âyeah sure a clock is 1-12â so really time is an illusion. Again in MY understanding. (Yes the sun revolves around Earth a specific way and that is where we get the starting block for time, but you know what I mean. Iâm generalizing)
So since time is pretty much made up, your DR time is NOT gonna be the same as your CR. (You can script it to be the same if you really want but overall every DR is different.) Every universe works a different way. So whatever you think about time, throw that out the window, cause it could be totally âbackwardsâ in your DR. (Itâs almost like comparing apples to oranges with DR time and CR time. You canât really compare it properly)
How I script it: I currently have 1 hr in CR is 1 week in DR. Thatâs just me you can do 1 hr = 1 month or a year if you really wanted, doesnât matter.
This is where some people donât agree with me: I also script that with my Lifa app I can change the time, time skip, or just change whatever in the DR timeline. Some people say âthe people in your DR have lives just like you and time skipping messes everything up!â Or âif you freeze time thatâs bad for your DR people. They need to live just like youâ
And yes youâre right, your desired reality IS a whole other reality so people DO have lives there, just like in your current reality. However, as I mentioned before, time works differently there.
An example I always use is from the movie Interstellar (2014) in that movie they travel through space, go through a black hole, and they visit a planet where 7 mins on that planet is 7 years on Earth. I think that logic is very similar to DR vs CR time. Me scripting that 1 hr in CR is 1 week in DR already sets into place that DR time moves âslowerâ than CR time. ( This could also be considered âfasterâ than CR since youâre getting more days in that 1 hr but again time is weird so itâs hard to really say. ) but I hope you can kinda see what Iâm getting at.
Me âstoppingâ time in DR isnât really stopping time. Itâs just slowing or speeding up time, in a way that doesnât affect DR people. So DR people and their lives wonât be interrupted. Theyâll move at the same speed but for me(the shifter) itâll be âfasterâ or âslower.â
Again: time is a complex concept. So this is probably confusing and Iâm sorry I canât explain better.
TLDR; stopping time or speeding up time in your DR is totally valid and nothing bad will happen so donât feel guilty. Shifting is totally safe and time jumping in DR wonât harm you.
Thanks for reading this long winded post and feel free to comment your ideas or send me asks!!
