Dream Machine

The Dream Machine is a vessel for exploring consciousness, powered by flicker light stimulation, an innovative technology. Whereas years of meditation are required to achieve certain states of consciousness, here, a simple press of a button takes you on this introspective journey.

Depending on the session you select, the Dream Machine generates a personalized sequence of light flashes. These flashes, perceived through your closed eyelids, are filtered to gently but regularly stimulate your retina. Each session incorporates phases of stable rhythm, promoting the emergence of the photic piloting phenomenon.

This ingenious process acts as a beacon for your brain, prompting it to harmoniously synchronize with the light rhythm. In doing so, you are guided into altered states of consciousness.

94% of our users reported seeing hallucinatory geometric shapes, while 89% were transported by an explosion of colors generated by their own brain.

Our practices are firmly rooted in rigorous scientific research that served as the foundation for the design of our technology. They guided the development of our solution and ensured the protection of our innovation through patent filing.

To begin your journey with the Dream Machine, first turn it on and open the corresponding app. Wait a moment while the device connects. If this is your first time using it, the app will automatically download all available sessions. This may take a few minutes, but it will only be necessary once.

Once you've downloaded the sessions, you'll have a wide range of experiences with varying goals and durations: relaxation, creativity, energy, and more. Choose your session.

Then position yourself comfortably in front of the Dream Machine, maintaining a distance of approximately one meter. When you feel ready, press "play", close your eyes, and let yourself be carried away by the journey...

To guide you through this experience, after your purchase, you'll have access to a 1-hour 15-minute video getting started guide filmed by our co-founders, as well as the opportunity to participate in an online onboarding session with a photostimulation expert. You'll also have the opportunity to join a Dreamers-exclusive Facebook group to share your experience with others.

There are currently over 50 sessions available for free on the Dream Machine app. And we're adding more every month!

All sessions have benefits (e.g. relaxation, recreation, concentration, etc.) and different durations, between 3 and 70 minutes.

The Dream Machine experience is intensified to a level of intense immersion when paired with music! Several sessions are harmoniously paired with musical compositions, some specially created by talented artists to complement the experience. Other sessions benefit from hypnotic audio accompaniments that we have meticulously crafted.

For the remaining sessions, we offer you the freedom to select your favorite pieces, allowing you to further personalize your sensory journey.

The Dream Machine offers a variety of sessions designed to meet various needs: relaxation, stimulation, rest, creativity, and much more... In addition, it offers multi-day programs designed to improve your sleep or enrich your meditation practice.

However, the Dream Machine's main goal is to guide your brain toward new biological rhythms. It works by inducing rhythm variations, thus exploiting natural neurophysiological phenomena.

For example, during a standard waking state, *beta* waves are generally more dominant. If you want to relax, the Dream Machine helps your brain modulate the activity of *alpha* waves, either by slowing down their rate or by strengthening their existing activity. This allows you to instantly achieve a state of tranquility and serenity, centered on yourself.

The experience of the Dream Machine varies considerably from person to person. There are two main types of visuals:

1/ Kaleidoscopic and fractal hallucinations that seem to overlap your field of vision, resembling an internal mental image more than a concrete visual perception. These hallucinations do not occur in every session; they are most common in the "exploration" category of sessions. These hallucinations are not a criterion for effectiveness; some sessions have other objectives. They can be intensified by increasing the brightness and removing the window.

2/ Dreamlike visions: once the first veil of fractal visuals is crossed, a reverie can arise, similar to a flow of thoughts that takes a particular turn. It is in deep relaxation that these images, these thoughts and these understandings can transport you far into an extraordinary experience, opening the doors to your unconscious.

Each of these experiences is unique and varies from one individual to another. We recommend repeating sessions to learn how to navigate deeper into your thoughts.

94% of Dreamers perceived geometric shapes, while 89% were amazed by an explosion of colors.

89% of Dreamers reported a sense of well-being, feeling calmer, more serene and in a better mood immediately after a session.

40% of Dreamers have experienced synesthesia, discovering new internal and bodily sensations.

Finally, 10% of Dreamers have had mystical experiences, gaining new perspectives on themselves and the world.

By "semi-psychedelic," we mean an experience that is deeper and more immersive than traditional meditation, but less intense and radical than the use of psychedelic substances. The Dream Machine was designed to generate accessible and safe altered states of consciousness, without the risks and uncertainties associated with the use of psychedelic substances.

The benefits of such an approach are numerous: first and foremost, the ability to explore one's own mind in a safe and controlled environment. Users report experiences of deep relaxation, daydreaming, kaleidoscopic geometric visions, and new perspectives on their thoughts and feelings.

Furthermore, this semi-psychedelic method is completely legal and does not pose the risks of long-term side effects associated with substance use. It is an accessible and controlled gateway to the exploration of consciousness, offering an innovative approach for those who wish to go beyond traditional meditation but are not ready or willing to venture into the world of psychedelic substances.

Using the Dream Machine results in visions of geometric shapes and colors. These effects emerge due to a certain stable rhythm established in our brain's vision areas. These areas are structured like electrical circuits, and when stimulated at a particular frequency by the Dream Machine, they react by creating these shapes and colors.

Researchers have also found that the Dream Machine can influence our thinking abilities. By adjusting the rhythm of the light, we can help our brains achieve states of intense concentration or overflowing creativity.

There is also evidence that the technique used by the Dream Machine could have medical benefits. It could help assess the risks of certain diabetic eye diseases, help classify psychiatric disorders, or even slow the development of Alzheimer's disease.(This is research work, currently Dream Machine is not a medical device).
