Newfag here so my opinion may not be as valid as someone else's, but I think maybe you can accomplish that just as well with lucid dreaming. Or are you looking for a different kind of experience?

The way I view lucid dreaming is that it isn't real, and it is fickle. There are people who will say that what you experience in lucid dreams are just as 'real' as real life, but I don't see it that way. 

I suppose that when you get down to the nuts and bolts of how shifting and lucid dreaming work, they are essentially the same, and when talking about this sort of stuff the meaning of 'real' sort of falls apart, but I see moving my awareness into another reality permanently as being more real than a lucid dream which will end in a short period of time against my will. 

Besides all that, if you could choose between shifting and lucid dreaming, why would you choose the lucid dream in any context? It just doesn't make any sense to me to choose the one that is an inferior experience in every way.
