| - This usually covers a variety of experiences, although generally speaking if a person accepts oneself as an animal while dreaming, it can be qualified as a dream-shift. This, in turn, can sometimes lead to emotional stress strong enough to interrupt a dream (person wakes up unexpectedly). To avoid this, different techniques can be used, such as mentioned above. Technically, a number of events and states will fall into the category of dream-shifting, like:
* An act of shifting into an animal or back into human
* Observing own body shifted
* Overall self-perception as an animal (a 'solid knowledge' without any factual hints to that; somewhat similar to be slightly Mental Shifted in reality) while some more events and states can still be considered controversal:
* Walking on all fours
* Flying
* Experiencing a change in senses and/or body perfomance (i.e. better vision, reaction, muscular power etc.)
* Howling or making other animal noises while acting as if sleeping person is an animal, but perceives oneself as a human still Some therians known to perform a voluntary shift at any point while sleeping, while others will walk through different scenarios, which usually involve shifting while being in danger or openly attacked. Interestingly, this fear-triggered shift will be processed by consciousness as a usual measure of defense, i.e. person decides to shift into an animal for self-protection.
