Reality Shifts?, Also posted on OF, to examine answers... Options

Recently (being several weeks ago), I've been studying and exploring alternate realities. Thanks to a lot of appreciated advice from my two mentors, I've learned a lot about some of the more threatening realities that are dangerous even to visit (and of course, I don't freaking go there!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ), and I've visited realities that are magnificent, strange, and mediocre.

However, I've noticed at work that a strange reality "shift" had been occuring. I had left my desk (rather cubicle slave chamber) to go on a break. When I got back, the energy all over the place was going crazy... my desk looked different, everyone looked different, some people weren't at work when they were all there previous to my break. I saw, energetically, a large, boiling puddle scrambling across the ceiling. I didn't feel drained or hurt or anything, just really weird. I couldn't speak correctly the entire time I was at work.

Well, I felt that was all digression... I'm not looking for validity about my experience. What I AM looking for is, why do reality shifts happen, and what causes them? I've heard of reality being tampered with to such a degree in an alternate world that people can actually draw up a reality bubble around a victim, and calcify it to such a degree that the person is trapped in stasis.

I know EXACTLY what you mean...however, I have been assuming if I learned more about structured systems such as the kabbala, I would find that one of these realities with entities was a part of a mapped plane- between sephiroth, a circle of hell, a level of the merkaba riders, etc.
Unfortunately, in the end I am left with a practical knowledge of plane X and no language to explain or discuss it with anyone.
As for the hunters, it seems to really vary as to where you are... if they use a tiny pocket universe, and utilize both a repetitive time loop and strong drain while saturating you with interference, your cognitive awareness is shot and your instincts are derailed. I need to use a tiny further surge of Will fed to instinctive survival mechanism, without involving my mind, to relocate outside of the trap; and then nuclear strength shield and propulsion astral flares to return and wake up NOW. One of my strongest tools is the person I sleep beside, who is a conscious dreamer. I keep a tether at all times and my instinct follows it blindly back to this plane in an emergency, as well as the one to my body. Remember that you can use one persons paradigm as transport out of your own, and then stay long enough to recuperate. His ability to walk right back into my dreams, force the energies into his own reality, and devour anything piggybacking or parasitic like they were snack treats also helps with the whole 'time to recoup my defenses' thing.
Just as followers can intensify a paradigm, willful independent company can derail it. A talented working partner you can call that has completely different ideas from your own could be an asset in averting madness.

As to your office experience, or 'reality shift' as you call it, you were SPECIFICALLY feeling the effect of being half here, half grounded, half in the astral, not-tidy-enough-with-the-threads-to-the-last-place-you-were, etc. Often felt after travelling long distances astrally or raising energy and not releasing the excess charge properly, it can pop up randomly hours,days or weeks later- I assume this happenened after you began 'travelling'? ....What you have to do is learn to regroup your sense of self, aura, shields, reality and 'being in the now' that is your natural state, and do so deliberately after you return from a trip. Why? Helicopters need stable landing pads to refuel and take repairs. So do you. Being able to choose a mundane state is essential. Food, laughter, and grounding objects or people can be helpful to come fully back. Pagans send excess energy and connections deep into the absorbant earth and away.
