It's when an artist or band is trying to make their song just a little bit longer, but have no additional lyrics. So they sing the chorus another time or two in a higher octave.

REM is notorious for doing this.
You can tell John ran out of lyrics, cuz he hit the truckers gear shift like he was headed east on the 10.

Used in some religions.

Some teens and adults on tiktok adapted the term to mean moving your subconscious to another reality. In truth, it is just lucid dreaming. The fact that you have to go to sleep first says it all. They took a term used for religion and coined it as a way to bang fictional characters. It's quite annoying. They'll argue that it's not lucid dreaming and that they're actually there but in reality it's the same thing with different names. Or they're just daydreaming. Most of these "shifters" you'll find on tiktok or youtube are young. No younger than 12 and no older than 25. It can be damaging to ones mental health. If you really want to meet you favorite fictional character then write a story or just daydream or try to lucid dream.
Person A: Whats shifting?
Person B: Lucid dreaming.
Person A: Why is it called shifting then?
Person B: Because some people wanted to believe that they can travel to other universes.

reality shifting isn't lucid dreaming, it's moving your consciousness to another.

shifting; a practice in which you move your subconscious onto another parallel reality. It is as if your soul — but you're technically still there — carries itself into another person in your 'desired reality'. the practice had been around long, even connected to religion.

there is no proof of this being real — however, many have claimed to do this practice. there are CIA documents regarding shifting, even.

and for you anti-shifters who cannot tell the difference between 'lucid dreaming' and 'shifting', lucid dreaming is just being aware you are in a dream and being able to control that dream. and for shifting, it is changing your entire mindset to move your subconscious into another reality, and it is way more realistic and vivid.
shifter: i'm gonna shift to .. !
anti-shifter: you can't shift, that's just lucid dreaming you idiot.
shifter: shove a stick up your ass, clearly you cannot tell the difference between lucid dreaming and shifting. get your facts.
