always having dreams about shifting but not shifting

Hii! I've started my journey a few months ago (probably 4 now?) and I haven't shifted yet.

Recently I've been getting back into shifting and being positive and motivated. I think I've had progress but I don't know what I progressed in.

So last night, I was attempting to shift with a post I found on another shifting community and it was to focus on one anchor/detail, like a sound or a phrase that connects to your dr. I repeated "serendipity" because that connects to my dr. I repeated it until I fell asleep. I then had a dream about searching for a shifting subliminal?

Normally whenever I do any shifting attempt and fall asleep, I almost always have dreams about shifting, and then I wake up in my cr. It's getting a bit annoying and I would like to come here to ask for help and improve. I'm scared of going 3 years or something without shifting so I'm doing what I can to be open to improvement. If you have any tips, that would be amazing, thank you!

xoxo goodbye!
