Reality shifting and my realization about detaching from your Or

I'm copying this from my amino post lol

So, last night I was about to roll over and shift when I saw a video that was talking about and explaining asleep methods. I then remembered something that was said in a video I saw in 2022 that said, "It's called asleep methods because you're supposed to shift in your sleep." for some reason, this quote has always been in the back of my mind, and I would just randomly remember it sometimes. Last night, I realized I've been doing awake methods for God knows how long and that repetition has been a setback.

During awake methods, I always sit there just waiting for my surroundings to change and fully anticipating a shift, but ANTICIPATING a shift was just further making me focus more on the process of getting there, rather than actually being there. The reason I wanted to keep attempting with awake methods was because I felt more grounded and in control of my mind and my attempt, when the whole point of shifting is to LET GO. I've been unconsciously grounding myself in my OR with this mindset by doing awake methods. I'd often say things like "I need to be wearing this so I'm comfortable when I shift." "I need my LED's to be this color, so it doesn't distract me." and more "I need my OR to be one way in order to shift." and it think that was unconsciously grounding me in my OR and that's why I couldn't detach.

But I realized that with asleep methods, your 3D is supposed to catch up when you're in an unconscious state, a state where you can't hyperfocus on your surroundings, waiting for them to change. If you know that you'll shift in your sleep, whatever happens during your method won't matter. A sound from your Cr? It's fine, you know your 3D will catch up in your sleep. An itch? Scratch it, you know your 3D will catch up in your sleep. Ever since realizing this I feel like there's no room for doubts, and I feel closer to a successful shift than ever

I hope this helps some people who struggle with detaching!

Although, this did leave me with one question:

I tried to shift last night right after having this realization, but my 3D did not catch up. I think it's because even though I knew I was going to shift in my sleep, my body kept saying "What is that noise? I won't be able to fall asleep with it." "I'm so hot, I need to turn my fan on. Not because it'll keep me from shifting, but because I need it to sleep." and although I know these thoughts are further focusing too much on my surroundings when I should focus on affirmations and my method, I don't know how to let them pass. Is there anything I could do to make sure I FULLY detach from my OR during my method? One where I won't get these grounding thoughts?
