A Dreamachine is "viewed" with the eyes closed: the pulsating light stimulates the optic nerve and thus alters the brain's electrical oscillations. Users experience increasingly bright, complex patterns of color behind their closed eyelids (a similar effect may be experienced as a car passenger; close your eyes as the car passes through flickering shadows cast by roadside trees). The patterns become shapes and symbols, swirling around, until the user feels surrounded by colors. It is claimed that by using a Dreamachine one may enter a hypnagogic state.[4] This experience may sometimes be quite intense, but to escape from it, one needs only to open one's eyes.

Do /x/ mind to share some experiences using this device?
Any tips to build one?

plans are all over the internet, very easy to build and there was a small resurgence of interest in the device some time ago so you can even find premade "tubes" and even full devices if you look (better off building your own imo). you can even find dreamachine "simulators" online that provide a 8 - 13 Hz flicker (usually 10 Hz).
This is a hoax. Those videos are made to trigger migraines, don't fall for it
why not drop tryptamines instead doe

If you're prone to migraines or an epileptic then of course don't do anything involving flickering lights. you're supposed to have your eyes closed, not staring directly into a strobe.
There's a good android app called Mindroid that I've had some results with. If you buy one of those cheap VR headsets for phones, you've basically got a dream machine right there. It even has the ability to work in tandem with another sleep app called Sleep as Android, in case you want to record yourself if you're a sleep talker.
