I’m sure that we all know that the Mayan shamans used to turn into panthers and things. The problem with those legends is that you have to take magic mushrooms to do that kind of shapeshifting. In that sense, it’s only shapeshifting for you, but not anyone else around you. While it can be enlightening, it’s not very useful.
I managed to shapeshift in a lucid dream that I was lucky enough to get. It was fun. I don’t get lucid dreams enough to live in them, though, so it’s not very useful to me. I need to be able to change my body in real life.
From all that I can find on the internet for an actual method of producing some kind of measurable change, it seems that the most reliable is the Wiccan method. That is, going to a plastic surgeon and paying a whole lot of money. That isn’t acceptable to me.
Human bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. I actually know one person who has a body that I think is ideal for me. There isn’t any reason why my cells can’t produce something like that for me. For example, I’ve already developed breasts. Why did they stop growing so small when other girls’ breasts stop growing when they’re much larger. I seek to override that limit with my mind. This is the kind of shapeshifting I’m talking about.
I was inspired by Gyrfalcon, who shapeshifts often in her lucid dreams. She claims to have been able to maker herself significantly shorter in real life by concentrating on the change she wated. The process of becoming shorter made me think of my puberty when I tried to keep myself from getting too tall like the males in my family. It seems to have worked, since, despite the excessive androgens that my reproductive system produced, I’m of normal female height.
I lost interest after a while. Then I met Aydira and Trigpoe on the IRC channel who were both interested in the kind of shapeshifting I’m talking about. Apparently, Aydira has managed to do the same kind of thing that I’m trying to do right now before. So, I’m giving making myself a little more attractive another go.
I’d like to know if anyone else has managed something similar or has any input. At some point in time, Aydira, Trigpoe, and I are going to publish our results to the public domain. Because there are a lot of variables among us, I’d also like to know if anyone would like to join in so that we can try to ascertain the effect that the subconscious has on human growth.
