(Unpopular?) Reality Shifting Opinion: DR and CR Time
So I’ve 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 I’m just gonna put my general ideas out there! [Long post incoming]
(Note: I don’t speak for every shifter these are my own ideas and they might be wrong but idk!)
Let’s talk about time.
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 “yeah sure a clock is 1-12” 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. I’m 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 “backwards” in your DR. (It’s almost like comparing apples to oranges with DR time and CR time. You can’t really compare it properly)
How I script it: I currently have1 hr in CR is 1 week in DR. That’s just me you can do 1 hr = 1 month or a year if you really wanted, doesn’t matter.
This is where some people don’t 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 “the people in your DR have lives just like you and time skipping messes everything up!” Or “if you freeze time that’s bad for your DR people. They need to live just like you”
And yes you’re 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 “slower” than CR time. ( This could also be considered “faster” than CR since you’re getting more days in that 1 hr but again time is weird so it’s hard to really say. ) but I hope you can kinda see what I’m getting at.
Me “stopping” time in DR isn’t really stopping time. It’s just slowing or speeding up time, in a way that doesn’t affect DR people. So DR people and their lives won’t be interrupted. They’ll move at the same speed but for me(the shifter) it’ll be “faster” or “slower.”
Again:time is a complex concept.So this is probably confusing and I’m sorry I can’t explain better.
TLDR; stopping time or speeding up time in your DR is totally valid and nothing bad will happen so don’t feel guilty. Shifting is totally safe and time jumping in DR won’t harm you.
Thanks for reading this long winded post and feel free to comment your ideas or send me asks!!
Happy shifting!
This post explains time differences between realities really well! I tend to script everywhere that 1 CR day= 1 DR year, because although I want to spend as much time in my DR, I don’t want to miss out on too much in my CR (this is kind of an irrational fear of mine where I’m paranoid of too much time passing in my CR, even though I will remember everything when I come back).
I’m thinking of changing it or straight up deleting the time ratio because I feel like I put too much importance on it.
