The “Dream Machine” is an immersive relaxation and meditation technology that uses visual and audio stimuli to guide the mind into deep states of relaxation, facilitating access to altered states of consciousness. As a therapist specializing in this method, the know-how is based on a perfect mastery of machine management techniques and an in-depth understanding of the psychophysiological mechanisms associated with its use.
Technical mastery of the “Dream Machine”
The therapist must have in-depth knowledge of how the machine works, the different parameters it can adjust (light frequencies, intensity of pulsations, duration of sessions, etc.) and their impact on the brain and mind. This technical know-how allows the experience to be personalized according to the specific needs of each individual, adjusting the parameters to induce states conducive to relaxation, meditation or conscious regression.
- Assessment and personalization of therapy
Before any session, an in-depth assessment is carried out to understand the expectations, therapeutic objectives, and psychophysiological specificities of the patient. This includes consideration of emotional history, stress levels, sleep problems or other issues. Based on this, the therapist can adjust the duration and stimuli of the session to maximize the effectiveness of the “Dream Machine”.
Support in the relaxation process
The main objective of the « Dream Machine » is to guide the patient towards a state of deep relaxation, and in some cases, towards an altered state of consciousness conducive to inner exploration. The therapist ensures that the patient remains comfortable throughout the session and adapts the intensity of the stimuli according to the reactions observed. It is essential to create a safe, calm and relaxing environment so that the experience is fully beneficial.
- Monitoring and readjustment of sessions
The therapist’s know-how does not stop at simply using the machine. After each session, attentive listening to the patient’s feelings and feedback is essential. This monitoring phase allows the therapist to readjust the parameters or method of use to improve the effectiveness of subsequent sessions. The therapist also ensures that the patient can integrate the experiences during the sessions into their daily life, using complementary stress management, relaxation or mindfulness techniques.
5.Ethics and patient well-being
Finally, a good therapist who uses the « Dream Machine » respects the ethical principles of therapeutic practice. He acts with kindness, respecting the patient’s privacy, and ensures that each session is conducted in a professional and secure setting. Kindness, active listening and respecting each person’s pace are keys to guaranteeing the effectiveness of this approach.
