Isn’t this attention? Essentially you give something ‘life’ by paying attention to it (I’m rusty but I think that’s strictly a relative phenomenon, of course it doesn’t live, etc. I think this is something in philosophy?)
Consciousness. Reality(ies) doesn’t actually exists out there¹. They are the construct that you form and manipulate inside your head. So, when you choose, or are compelled by senses, to manipulate a different set of constructs, then you’ve changed realities. This is also why we say that different individuals and groups of individuals live different subjective and social realities.
1: We have reasons to infer and believe that it actually does but ontologically speaking, it might as well don’t.
I mean, I work and play Dota 2, but I don’t do them at the same time ever.
After working, my method is plugging my peripherals into my desktop, and firing it up while my work laptop shuts down. (thx for reminding me that I should look at KVM switches for Black Friday…)

Nice.
Ok. What is this method by which I travel from one reality to another, leaving one and entering another?

“it’s an attention” thing sounds right to me too. Shift of attention = shift of reality. In the small as well as the large.

“consciousness” isn’t exactly a method. Can you describe it differently?

If I could simply answer that in a single comment. I would have a Nobel in neuroscience. We don’t know, join the club.
