The most used door to the psychedelic experience is hallucinogenic drugs. Those are illegal, often a taboo, and more over, dangerous if not handled correctly. While the foundation of traditional religions are fading away, the need for having an epiphany is still here. That’s why this bunch of people build a so called “dreammachine”. Basically you cut a piece of cardboard in certain patterns, fold it around a record player, puts a stroboscopic 100 Watt lightbulb inside, and stare directly at it with your eyes closed, while the recordplayer is spinning. This supposedly gives you a psychedelic experience. The light comes out through the cardboard in a frequen between 8 and 13 Hz, copying the alpha waves of the brain. The point is to simulate the stage right before you fall asleep.
