yes Dreamachine

This project is a personal exploration of consciousness — built for those drawn to altered states, inner vision, and the subtle edges of perception.

Inspired by the original Dreamachine concept by Brion Gysin and Ian Sommerville, this version isn't a replica — it's a reimagining. A digital experiment in rhythm, light, and mind. It lives in the browser, works with any screen, and is made to be accessible to anyone curious enough to try.

This isn't a product. It's not for profit or attention. It's a tool, a ritual, a visual pulse meant to guide you toward that liminal space — between waking and dreaming, between noise and stillness.

Not everyone will connect with it. And that's okay.
It's for the psychonauts, the lucid dreamers, the ones who seek what can't quite be described.

If that's you — welcome.

Welcome to the Dreamachine

A journey inward, through flicker, light, and sound.

Inspired by Brion Gysin's original invention, this digital Dreamachine is an eyes-closed experience that uses rhythmic light and sound to stimulate altered states of consciousness. What you see inside — is your own mind.

"The Dreamachine is the first artwork to be experienced with the eyes closed."
— Brion Gysin

Please read carefully before beginning:

This experience uses high-frequency flickering light. It may trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy or related conditions.
Do not proceed if you are unsure of your sensitivity to strobe effects.
This is not a medical device, and is not intended to treat, cure, or diagnose any condition.
Dreamachine is designed for artistic, meditative, and introspective purposes only.
By continuing, you accept full responsibility for your experience.

Before you begin

Sit or lie down comfortably in a safe, distraction-free environment.
Make sure the room is dim or dark. Set your screen brightness to max to enhance the flicker effect.
Gently close your eyes. Keep them closed throughout.
Hold the screen about 15 cm (6 inches) from your face.
Use headphones or good speakers for best audio quality.
Take a few deep breaths. Relax your jaw. Let go of trying to control the experience. Let it happen. Don’t chase it.
The shapes, colors, and visions that may appear are yours alone — produced by your own mind in response to rhythm and light.
