| ^that looks really cool, on one hand. On the other hand, how much did you pay for it? Don't you think you could have made it yourself. Something similar at least, on the cheap. |

It was 40 with the shipping, which i know is steep.
I really didn't feel like doing it myself. You can make one with the following instructions but it would probably take me forever.

| What... is it, exactly? Like, what's it meant to do? Just cast light around in weird patterns? |

The Dreamachine simply consists in a cylinder with holes cut into his sides and placed on a turntable. A lightbulb is suspended on the center of the spinning cylinder, and the rotation lets the light to pass through the holes at a constant frequency, situated between 8 and 13 pulses per second.
This frequency range corresponds to the 'alpha waves', electrical oscillations naturally present in human brain when the eyes are closed and no stimuli are processed, e.g., when there's a relaxed and effortless alertness, and while meditating.
The Dreamachine is viewed with the eyes closed: the flickering light stimulates the optical nerve and alters the brain's electrical oscillations, producing vivid visions of very bright moving and morphing colours in geometrical patterns to appear "projected" behind the eyelids, covering completely the field of vision. A prolonged session in front of a Dreamachine (time may vary among subjects) can push the experience further, altering the perception of time and space and provoking a dream-like state.

I did mescaline a couple times. It was fun, very similar to acid. I remember staring at a cool ranch dorito for hours in awe, watching the red and green spice flecks march around the chip like ants. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if only I could get my hands on some. |

Totally read that as "anal-glyphs".
Which is awesome, too. |
