    "Dream Machines" is a term that collectively describes those appliances
    that induce "whole-brain synchronization." Typically, the person wears
    a pair of headphones and a pair of glasses. The headphones are synchronized to emit sounds concurrently with lights that are flashed into the eyes
    by LEDs mounted on the glasses.

    Less elaborate whole-brain synchronicity may instead involve only "high- tech" audio cassette recordings you listen to through a regular home
    cassette recorder.

    Is there any merit to the sensational claims attributed to these devices? Most of these claims, I believe, originated from a bestseller book
    published around 1986. The book was written by a journalist, not a researcher, and his claims were based upon undocumented testomonials and
    his personal experience. The author spoke of trance-like states in which
    the person experienced LSD-like hallucinations. He said the state heightened ones learning ability, and ability to meditate, as well.

    In particular, there are now a number of such devices and cassette tapes being sold mailorder. They are advertised in magazines like Psychology
    Today, Omni, and a variety of vegatarian magazines available in health
    food stores.

    Thanks for any published data, references, personal experiences, or
    product evaluations you may wish to share. Tell me if they are a
    worthwhile purchase, or would I be wasting my money.

    I had a "shaman" it was very interesting, I'd like to find another one:)
