What is reality shifting?

This trend took off among teenagers on both sides of the Atlantic during the first round of lockdowns last year. It found its home on TikTok, all starting out with the #ShiftingRealities hashtag, which went from 170 million views to over a billion in just a few months. Shifting implies moving one’s own consciousness to another alternative reality. It could be very similar to the so-called real world, with small differences, or completely fictional. It could be the world you’ve read about in a book, seen on TV or simply invented from scratch.
