This method was from a REAL episode of the adult swim cartoon American Dad. There is a scene about how Steve is shifting in Season 6, episode 9. Because he wanted to shift to the past to meet a girl from a painting he saw.

NOTE: Commenters on the original tiktok of this were calling this "The Steve Method".

It was posted by this tiktok account (who noticed this):

I suggest for you to watch this clip of it that explains it from the show. But I posted the captions of the video down here that explains it:

THE METHOD IN SHORT STEPS;

NOTE FOR THIS METHOD: It is okay for you to move your body while trying to shift for this method/when you're in starfish position.

STEP 1: Go in a quiet bedroom with no distractions. (Make sure the door to your room is closed too). Lay down on the bed and relax. Get comfortable.

STEP 2: While you are laying down on the bed, lay down in a starfish position.

STEP 3: Concentrate very hard on where you want to shift to/concentrate mainly thinking about your DR.

STEP 4: As you are really focused on thinking about your DR, keep telling yourself affirmations about it (either outloud or in your own mind). Keep on doing this over and over again to yourself, until you finally fall asleep.

STEP 5 (LAST STEP):

After you fall asleep, you should then wake up in your DR.
