Welcome to Dimensional Jumping (982)

Dimensional Jumping is a place to share your personal experiences of the shifting nature of reality, through the deliberate application of techniques to bring about "jumps" in our personal worlds - in effect, switching to a more desirable universe.

Below is the original method that kicked off this sub. However, there are different ways to approach this, and one flavour might suit you better than another (particularly if you don't like the idea of a literal "other you").

You might also choose to ask: "What's it all about?"

IMPORTANT NOTE

There is no established theory of "jumping" or its mechanism, although there are numerous ways of viewing its nature. It is for readers to decide for themselves through personal investigation and introspection whether jumping is appropriate for them or not. An open mind combined with healthy caution is the correct mindset for all approaches targeted at the subjective experience.

Never believe something without personal evidence; never dismiss something without personal evidence.

A useful overview is also provided in the sidebar of this subreddit.

OVERVIEW OF METHODS

In essence, all of these describe the same technique: detaching from the current sensory pattern, allowing a formatting shift, and triggering a replacement (either by deliberate intending or by accidental alignment via mood association).

The key to doing things knowingly is to change your perspective philosophically; but understanding is not required for producing an effect. You may also find the concept of "persistent realms" to be useful.

THE MIRROR METHOD

This is the original mirror-gazing method by /u/Korrin85 which kicked off the subreddit:

First things first, you're going to need a mirror. The bigger the mirror the better. If you could theoretically walk through it all the better. It helps out a lot.

Best times to do this are at night. Most success happens at around 12-3, although you can still do it in the day time. Just harder.

Turn off all the lights, get rid of as much noise as possible, and sit facing the mirror. Have a candle between the mirror and you. Everything else around you should be dark.

Relax, clear your mind. Concentrate on your reflection. View your reflection as another YOU. A YOU from a different place. Call out to that YOU, whether it is out loud or in your head. Concentrate on switching places with that YOU.

It takes awhile, and some get it faster than others, but if you "shifted" from your current universe, you should feel something. Some of the signs for small shifts have been a brief feeling of movement, a moment of disorientation, or even your reflection blinking at you when you didn't blink. Bigger shifts include your reflection moving on it's own or even the feeling of you literally moving into the side. The bigger the shift, the more you feel.

If you feel any signs, STOP! Take a few days to note any changes. They can be small, like a scar on someone that has mysteriously disappeared or something being a different color. The more you shift, the bigger the differences you see.

Optional, but it works better if you have a "destination" in mind. For example, you can focus on you switching places with the YOU that has more money, or slightly better off in general.
