A dream shift occurs when an individual is particularly or entirely an animal within a dream while the physical body remains unchanged. The dream might also include the transformation into the animal. A dream shift can occur within lucid or non-lucid states.
What they aren't:
People who do not identify as Therianthropes can also have dream shifts. Never automatically assume that seeing yourself as an animal in a dream means that you are a Therian or that the animal is your theriotype. Many other experiences, research, and introspection should also be taken into consideration when deciding whether or not you identify as a Therian. Seeing oneself as an animal other than the known theriotype, may only be a dream cameo shift and does not always indicate that one is a polytherian. Not every dream may be relevant to one’s therianthropy. Sometimes animals appear symbolically to represent events or mental/emotional states that the dreamer is experiencing in life.
What they feel like:
Like a dream ;) It feels very real actually until you wake up, it’s intense like an out of body experience.
