The Virtual Dreamachine

I have to admit, when I first heard of this I was a little skepitical, but last night I decided to give it a try.

Basically, you just turn off all the lights, turn on this machine, and close your eyes. It makes the color dances inside your mind and can put to you to sleep with the most vivid and realistic dreams.

haha i wana try it but i am afraid i dont wana have a seizure lol

 

i tried it and it doesnt even do anything

 

man that just hurt my eyes...

 

just made my eyes water... how would you fall asleep with this going? the only thing this would do to your dreaming would be that somehow in your dreams there is a blinking/flashing light, once you realize that the flashing light is this dream machine, you could have a lucid dream... otherwise, nothin.

 

hm, it worked for me.

 

ow

 

i think the concept is rapid eye movement as a reaction to those lights, which helps you dream. i don't know how you could fall asleep to that though.

 

I don't get it. I went about 5 inches from the monitor, turned off all the lights, and closed my eyes. After a few minutes, nothing, so I tried other colors and frequencies. I don't get it. lol

 

rapid eye movement doesnt help you dream, its a reaction that happens during the REM sleep stage, im not sure anyone knows the true reason we do it.

 

do u need to sleep for it to work?

 

So, how is it one falls asleep while sitting upright in their computer chair 5 inches away from their monitor with bright lights flashing at a rapid pace?

 

I just tried it. It definitely does something. My eyes felt like they were fluttering, similar to how they would during REM sleep and colors kept swimming in front of my eyes.
I ran out of patience about 10 minutes in, but I think if I gave it more time it would work. I'll try it again later after I smoke some more doobie.

 

I laid down and put my laptop on my chest.

 

Fuck, my eyes hurt like hell.

 

wow... that was absolutely insane

weed+dreammachine = crazy CEV

wow

 

eh, it did make my eyelids flutter. No CEV's though. All it really did is make me remember this: http://neave.com/strobe/

 

Im glad it worked for somebody else.

 

Thanks for this link, Satchmo, it's really good. Did you really go into a dream state?

 

yeah, after a few minutes, it put me in a sleeping state and I had the most realistic dream visions I have ever had (i dreamed that I turned off the machine and got up and did stuff. I as really vivid.). I woke up from it 30 minutes later and I thought that I had just closed my eyes.
