At Voicebox, we strive to share the voices and concerns of young people, no matter the topic. Recently we were made aware of a community of primarily young people claiming that they can ‘shift realities’, and we decided to dive deeper. ‘Reality shifting’ is a meditation-esque practice where people believe they can genuinely transcend or ‘shift’ their consciousness into other realities. It has a significant distinction from daydreaming, as daydreaming generally suggests that regardless of how realistic they feel, dreams are still a figment of imagination. Reality shifting exploded during the pandemic – with a TikTok community known as ‘shifttok’ using the platform to share experiences, tips, and fictional locations. In this report, we take a deep dive into reality shifting practices and some of the cornering behaviour surrounding them.
