Well, physical shifting for one is impossible, I think what you mean is phantom shifting which is simply when a therian feels a limb or appendage which isn't there (and mirrors that of their theriotype). For instance, it is not uncommon for wolf therians to experience things such as a muzzle, wolf ears, paws, a tail, etc.

Dream shifting is pretty much just what it sounds like; dreaming as whatever your theriotype is. Now everyone has dreams as an animal from time to time, but for most people it becomes rather infrequent as an adult and is generally random. That is, one night someone could dream as a wolf and then a year later have a dream where they're a horse. For therians, such dreams are typically more frequent and centered around one animal in particular.

As for astral shifts, I'm pretty sure it involves something out of body but I've never really gone into it that much as it is not something that applies to myself. Hope that helps!

ok thank you guys (i am well aware of the impossibilty of P-shifting, although it would be awesome) ok so i dream shift. physiological shifting... so what your saying for this one is it AFFECTS you physically rather than changes you physically? if so i have that sometimes but not so much lately... now i am still confused as to how Astral works... if anyone can explain that with a bit more detail that would be nice (i am not able to access my comp at the moment and i am not able to go to some of these sites, the owner of this one is majorly paranoid)

all right. thanks for the advice on that one Wolf.

Wow, I never realized there were so many different kinds. I guess I sort of had them all narrowed down into the ones I experienced. I didn't realize there were exact names either I just called my own weird names that were pretty much descriptions a sentence long. Thanx for the info.

I have dreams about it and then sometimes like you said I get really into my dream shifts and end up going places. A lot of times I have the shifts where you are just sitting there and you randomly just get going into your theriotype and can almost feel it around you. I have had the shifts that sherlawk was talking about. Those are cool, but i could stand not having them because they are pretty kind of uncomfortable.

hmmm thats interesting.... i just read a bit on the shifting in the wikia for it and apparently i am using the wrong name for what i call Aura shifting.... if anyone knows what kind of shift i am experiencing. but it is always present so i dont know if shift is the right word... basically whats going on is my aura is always in the shape of my wolf. i cant see my aura all the time i can only see it when..... what is the word.... i see my aura (and other people's) when i am half asleep, or if i sit still long enough and focus on it i can see it but i dont see it unless i have very little on the mind or have only the thought of the aura in my mind. any word for that?

You quite lucky, because i dont see aura at all, and as a result dont really belive in them. But you have right in one thing: shifting articles on Therian Wikia is a mess, and Aura Shifting part is completely wrong (most common form of shift is either a  sense shifts, which is nothing more then hightened awarness of surounding or a phantom shifts)

I HAVE A SUPER SPECIAL SECRET TO TELL YOU!!!!
IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP OF ANY ARTICLE ON THERIAN.WIKIA THERE IS A BUTTON: THE EDIT BUTTON.  IT SAYS "EDIT", SO YOU SHOULDN'T BE MISSING IT LIKE YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE!
IF YOU CLICK THAT BUTTON, YOU CAN EDIT THE ARTICLE INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING, WHETHER YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT OR NOT.

Understand?  You have no right to complain about the content on a Wiki where you can fix articles at any time by editing, and I know for a fact that you don't edit, so stop bugging me to do things you won't do yourself. >!>;;;


Edit: To contribute to discussion, I will note that I'm not really into classifying shifts and therians all that much anymore.  That's kind of considered a "noob thing", actually...  I was into it when I first made that page (which has been edited alot), but not anymore.

Omg! Somebody butthurt here. Yeah, somebody found mistake in wikia? >throw the blame on the messenger, that will show them

You got me, i was thinking that registering was required to edit your wikia, but you know if you want to continue with this project, maybe you should put much more effort in it, because for example you have a thread for *Free Gay Video* in wikia forum

If you dont care anymore, stop spreading links to TW like crazy, there are other good sources avaible

I am indeed annoyed with you people who insist on complaining yet are too lazy to do anything about it.  You have full power to fix the problem.  Even if you needed to register, and I ask that you do, all that requires is an email address.  Honestly, you have no right to tell me to "put more effort" into a project you're too lazy to even touch.

Edit: I notice though that you did actually come along and make a single edit without logging in.  That's what you need to do when you find a problem, not complain about what other people have written.
