I decided to build this machine as I had agreed to be resident artist in the Café, originally intending to re explore the medium of painting. In the time that I spent in the café working on some paintings, I realised that in order to satisfy the voracious appetite for excitement of the (sometimes very colourful) characters who attend the chestnut tree, I would have to put aside my paintbrush and do something a bit more hands on and challenging.
I had wanted to build a Dream Machine for years, but as there was a very limited supply of information available online, I realised that it would take a lot of time and effort to build one.
I had met a lot of people who had claimed to know friends who had used a dream machine, but I had never met anyone that had indulged in the experience themselves. Because of this, I had always suspected the dream machine of being a piece of counter culture mythology that couldn’t possibly be true.

I have used this section of my site to explain in as much detail as I can how to produce and install your own dream machine.

If you feel that you could add anything else that may assist in building one or if you disagree with anything that I have said, please get in touch!
