DREAM MASTER
Meditate, Relax & Dream
Instantly and Effortlessly
Increase your motivation, personal growth, intuition
and creativity with the Deepak Chopra Dream Master
Light and Sound Mind Machine which includes over
80 programs, 5 of which are written and narrated by
Deepak Chopra.
The Deepak Chopra Dream Master uses light and
sound pulses at specified frequencies to help the user
reach a variety of interesting and beneficial states of
consciousness. The effect is very much like the relaxed
and focused effects one gets from meditation, biofeed-
back/neurofeedback, Hindu Kirtan, Gregorian chanting,
Hebrew davening, Tibetan prayer bowls, Native
American drum circles and rain chants, Sufi chants and
Whirling dervishes, and African trance dancing.
These powerful tools can help you relax quickly as well
as reach trance states for a variety of experiences, aid
in lucid dreaming or bring your meditation practices to
a whole new level! Behind your closed eyelids you will
see a complex kaleidoscope of color, multidimensional
layers of fractals and a variety of dream-like imagery.

MicroSD card from the SD adapter (it’s about ½” by ½”
– 1cm by 1cm) and push it carefully, contacts facing up
and towards the Dream Master, into the MicroSD slot
at the boom of the console. You will feel a slight spring
pressure and then the card will lock into place. You may
1

need to use your ngernail to lock it in place. To remove,
ensure your Dream Master is turned o, then gently
press the MicroSD card so that it unlatches and springs
out suciently to grasp.
5. Plug the Light Goggles into the socket to the right of the

socket to the left of the MicroSD socket.
7. You may now turn on your Dream Master by pressing
the buon on the top right of the console for about two
seconds. The screen will ash Deepak Chopra Dream
Master and then display four main icons (Sessions, USB,
Aux Audio, and Seings), as well as smaller icons at the
top for audio volume, brightness, and baery charge
level.
PLAYING SESSIONS
From Memory Card
There are 86 program sessions installed on the memory card
of your Dream Master. The directory to these programs
starts on page 11.
To access these programs push the Up/Down/Left/Right part
of the outer ring on the front of the device to select [Sessions]
and press the central select buon. Notice that there are
several folders below “SD Card”. Use the Up/Down buons
to select a folder and press the Select buon to navigate the
folders within. The AudioStrobe, SpectraStrobe and Sirius
folders include subfolders in various categories.
Open one of these to view the names of the tracks within,
then scroll down to nd the session you wish to play. Press
the Select buon to start the session after the ten second
countdown timer ends, and again to start immediately.
During the session, pressing the Select buon once will
2

pause the session, keeping your place, while pressing it again
resumes the session. Pressing the Right buon during a
session will cause it to fast-forward.
Once your session has ended, or while the session is paused,
use the Left buon to navigate back to the main menu.
Press or press-and-hold the buons on the upper left and
right sides of the Deepak Chopra Dream Master to adjust
volume and brightness. The bars on the top of the display
indicate the current volume and brightness levels.
Programs/Sessions can also be played by connecting to the
USB port of a computer, smartphone, tablet or mp3.
From a Computer/Laptop (USB Sound Device)
Connect the USB cable from the Dream Master mini-USB
port (on top) to a USB socket on your computer. Select USB
Audio, and press the middle buon. You can now play tracks
from iTunes, Windows Media Player etc. through the Deepak
Chopra Dream Master. A small USB icon will appear in the
USB Audio bar at the top of the screen. In some operating
systems you may need to select the Dream Master as the
default audio device and/or respond to a message regarding
the SD card (see the Dream Master section of www.
DeepakChopraDreamWeaver.com for further instructions).
The Dream Master will automatically recognize whether the
audio is encoded with AudioStrobe™ or SpectraStrobe™,
displaying Mode Spectra/AS. If your audio is encoded with
neither, you can select the ColorOrgan (CO), described later
in this guide.
From a PC, iPod, MP3 or CD player (Audio Device)
Connect the stereo patch cable to the Audio In (AUX)
socket and to the audio device headphone jack. Select AUX
AUDIO and press the middle buon, then “play” on your
audio device. If your music doesn’t have SpectraStrobe
3

or AudioStrobe encoding, press the Up buon to select
ColorOrgan. If AudioStrobe is detected, the Down buon
cycles through the ColorSets. The ColorSets do not inuence
SpectraStrobe sessions or the ColorOrgan.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND SUPPORT
First, try turning the Dream Master o (press the on/o
buon for several seconds), unplugging the USB cable and
then turn it on again. Problems are often due to discharged
baeries or cables connected to the wrong sockets or not
pushed all the way in. In the event of any problems, please
check all of your connections and, if necessary, place your
Deepak Chopra Dream Master on charge for at least an hour
and then try again.
To reset all seings to factory defaults, turn the unit on while
holding the audio and light “-“ buons, then press the center
ring when text appears on screen.
www.DeepakChopraDreamWeaver.com/support is a great
place for nding answers to your questions and manuals,
tutorials, guides, downloads and other useful material
DURING A SESSION
While a session is playing you will notice that the active
mode is displayed. You can toggle between Mode SpectraStr/
AS and the ColorOrgan by pressing the Up buon. If you are
playing AudioStrobe content, then the ColorSets govern the
colors you see, and can be stepped through by pressing the
Down buon.
BATTERY CONDITION
At the top right of the Dream Master display you will see
the baery condition indicator. When connected to a power
source (AC power supply or PC USB port) the indicator will
repeatedly ‘ll’ from right to left. When using the Dream
4

Master away from a power source, the indicator will show
approximate remaining charge. You can expect about ten
hours use between full charges, though we recommend re-
charging it before the Lithium Ion baery is fully discharged,
as this will help prolong baery life.
SETTINGS
You generally won’t need to visit this menu very often. When
you select or change something, be sure to press the Select
buon to save them as current defaults. The options are:
1) General
Show File Extensions turns on or o the display of
lename extensions.
Play Countdown changes the default Play countdown
time before a session begins; factory default is 10 seconds.
Buon Backlight changes the brightness of the LEDs
under the Control Pad.
2) Power Management
Use this to select display “Display Backlight” (1-7, 6 is the
default), “Display o timeout” (default is “never”), and
“Device o timeout” (default is “Never o”, but consider
seing it to a shorter period if there is a chance you might
fall asleep, etc.)
3) Visuals
Adjust the maximum brightness of each LED color, both
left and right. Default is 100% for all LEDs.
4) Audio
Adjust left/right balance, and volume levels for AUX
(input), INT(ernal), USB, and KBS (Sirius sessions) audio
sources.
As mentioned earlier, Max. Volume ships pre-set to
EU standards for the maximum allowed audio output
5

volume from a portable audio device. This value is the
highest volume that will be displayed on the volume
indicator.
The volume levels for each audio source can be assigned a
value from 0 (o) to 10 (max).
Use the up and down buons to make any changes, and
press the center buon to lock in the new value. The
Max. Volume output is factory set to 40, to conform
to EU standards. However you can increase this to a
maximum of 52; press the middle buon to lock in any
changes. Note that some audio noise may appear at the
top loudness seings.
Finally, the Filter 15 kHz engages a lter which rolls o
higher frequencies when engaged. This is not needed for
normal operation and can be left o, which is the default
seing.
You can also access this audio mixer tool during a session
etc. by pressing the Volume + and – buons at the same
time. Press the left buon in this case to exit the Audio
Mixer screen.
KBS is another Deepak Chopra Dream Master session
type. See the KBS reference information at
www.mindplacesupport.com for more details.

HOW TO...
How to reset your Deepak Chopra Dream Master
To reset all seings to factory defaults, turn the unit on while
holding the audio and light “-“ buons, then press the center
ring when text appears on screen.
How to increase maximum volume level
Deepak Chopra Dream Master ships with the maximum
volume set to EU standards intended to prevent hearing
damage. If you are not in Europe and want to use larger
headphones, or otherwise wish to have a higher volume level,
you can increase the maximum volume in Seings/Audio/
Max. Volume. Use the up and down keys to adjust this then
press the center ring to set. The loudest seing is 52. Once
done, the maximum volume level is indicated on the volume
meter by a red line.
Transfer program les to your Dream Master:
If you have an SD card slot in your computer, the fastest
way to transfer les is to remove the micro SD card from the
console, put it into the included SD card adapter, and copy
directly into the folder of your choice. You can also create
your own folders on the card.
Alternately, you can connect via USB (select USB on the
main menu and press the middle buon; the Deepak Chopra
Dream Master will appear on your Mac or PC as an external
drive). Just drag and drop les into the appropriate folder.
Note that les will transfer more slowly using the USB
connection than via direct SD card transfer.
File formats and conversion
The Dream Master currently supports only MP3 and
WAV le formats. See the Dream Master section of
DeepakChopraDreamWeaver.com/pages/Support for
information about how to convert other formats to MP3.

ADVANCED OPERATION
This section describes in detail all of the Deepak Chopra
Dream Master seings, controls and features.
ENCODED AUDIO
SpectraStrobe
The Dream Master uses a new form of encoding,
SpectraStrobe™ (SS) which is similar to AudioStrobe® (AS)
but with six light control signals instead of just two. This
allows full red, green and blue light control for both the left
and right side of the Light Goggles, synchronized with the
audio content. Files created with this format oer a richer and
more subtle experience than does AS.
AudioStrobe
Your Deepak Chopra Dream Master is also a great
AS decoder that can map the two AS signals onto any
combination of red, green and blue via the ColorSets. Some
ColorSets morph their color mappings during a session,
creating a more dynamic and complex experience. See the
inside back cover fold-out for ColorSet details.
ColorOrgan
Just for fun there is also a ColorOrgan (CO) “Light Show”
option With the lights controlled by your music. It maps
low frequencies onto blue, mid frequencies onto green, and
higher frequencies onto red. There are three intensity levels
(50%, 100%, 200%) and response rates (fast and slow fade).
CO works best with music that has a beat, but can be quite
interesting with other genres - please experiment!
To use it, plug the Aux cable into the headphone port of you
player device and the other end into the Aux port on the top
left of the Dream Master. Then select and start the piece you
want to play. Then select Aux Audio and press the Up key.
You should see Mode ColorOrgan on the LCD. Use the Down
8

buon to cycle through the six CO options from 100% fast
fade to 200% slow fade. You can also use it with any mp3 le
stored on your micro SD card.
CREATING YOUR OWN MEDITATION,
RELAXATION OR SLEEP SESSIONS
There are several software tools available for creating
your own sessions on the Deepak Chopra Dream Master.
See www.mindplacesupport.com for further details and
downloads.
Deepak Chopra Dream Master
micro-SD Card Contents
When you turn on your Deepak Chopra Dream Master and
select Sessions, you’ll notice several numbered folders: Dream
Weaver, AudioStrobe, SpectraStrobe, Sirius and Manuals. The
Deepak Chopra narrated sessions come in the Dream Weaver
folder.
The Manual folder includes the Deepak Chopra Dream
Master Quickstart card. You would need to connect via USB
to access these les.
The SpectraStrobe folder is divided into six categories:
Accelerate (energy, peak performance, focus, etc.),
Meditate (meditation and relaxation training, mainly),
Mind Art (experimental, visualization, and some intended
purely for consciousness-altering enjoyment),
Night Voyage (before bed, lucid dreaming),
Rejuvenate (sports recovery, after a long day in the oce,
etc.) and nally,
Trance (hypnagogia, the fascinating region between sleep
and wakefulness)
These sessions include both simple and complex designs.
Simple sessions may include gentle nature sounds, binaural
9

beats and the like as audio content, with frequencies ramping
towards a specic target, much like conventional mind
machines.
Complex sessions may include ambient electronic
backgrounds or more complex compositions, with sometimes
very sophisticated control of the lights and resulting visual
eects.
