I've not heard of a machine, but I know there are rollers and combs used to achieve faux wood finishes. You vary the colors through the paint and glazes. The art school in Denver even offers courses in it….as I suspect other schools do too.

Perhaps you'd be better off putting up faux wood wallpaper??

What you can do is put yourself in bed or a comfy sofa, and day dream.

It's very easy once you start. Day dream about basic things if you find it hard to begin. Like about: your bf if you have one, if not imagine your future bf, and how what perfect couple you'd be etc.. Also about what you'd like to become what you'll do with the money. Invent. If you have a carrier you wouldn't want to dream about, muse about another, the unknown is always questionable and always flexible for your liking in dreams. Think about it. Also you can dream about going to the beach and all the guys end up make you feel like some super gorgeous girl that end up need body guards cos you have too many fans who'd want to go out with you.

In dreams, exaggeration is possible. And with dreams, the brain gets more used to the fact of being creative.

I hope that I helped you with this idea!
It is very convenient to me to dream cos everything may look possible, and if you like what you imagined about, wright it down!

I haven't read the book, but it does seem interesting. I'm sort of in between the skeptics and the parapsychologists. I believe something is happening that could be called PSI, but for every valid piece of information I find there are a hundred pieces of crap (that is a conservative estimate). If a field ever needed skeptics, it's parapsychology!
