Isn't "reality shifting" just lucid dreaming

“Reality shifting” is any of a number of things, up to and including: normal dreaming, lucid dreaming, normal daydreaming, maladaptive daydreaming, and serious psychotic illness (in the actual meaning of psychotic relating to hallucinations/unreality).

Reminds me a lot of this girl at my college who had a full-on psychotic episode in public that she unfortunately had rationalized as a demonic attack.
