This first episode introduces the high stakes world of the Sitri Center where scientists do more than study subconscious fears. They engineer them.

Dr. Tessa Finn, ambitious and eager to prove herself, deploys Construct Thirty Seven on Phoebe Bosworth, whose shame soaked dreams escalate into erotic rehearsals.

Dr. Meg Aerin counters with academic rigor, insisting Phoebe is not healing but spiraling into dependency. Chief Scientific Officer June Lowell presides with cold authority, while Zev Talcott fuels the wager: a clash that risks careers, reputations, and millions in funding.

For fans of The Magnus Archives, Within the Wires, and The Bright Sessions, Sitri Center offers a new descent into dreams, desire, and dangerous science.

The Deep Dream State aims to use human art at every stage of the creative supply chain.

The Deep Dream State draws inspiration from genuine phenomena in dream research, neuroscience, mythology, and psychology. The show incorporates concepts from established fields including threat simulation theory in dreams, research on sleep paralysis experiences, experimental studies in dream communication using brain-computer interfaces, and investigations into REM sleep synchronization between individuals.

These real-world foundations inform the speculative fiction framework of the Neuralverse. For those interested in the scientific basis behind some of the show’s concepts, the following resources provide context:

Despite these real-world inspirations, The Deep Dream State is speculative fiction. The Sitri Center does not exist. The Neuroplex Corporation is imaginary. The technologies, dream manipulation techniques, and conditioning protocols depicted in this show are creative inventions for narrative purposes. No audio content in this series can literally control your dreams, override your consent, or force behavioral changes against your will.

The show explores themes of power, desire, agency, and transformation through fictional storytelling. Characters make choices within a constructed narrative universe. These are not instructions, therapy, or genuine psychological intervention.

This open declaration is a necessary part of the author’s commitment to ethical kink practice and responsible hypnosis content creation. Neural Nets And Pretty Patterns operates according to established consent frameworks within BDSM and erotic hypnosis communities, including the principles of Risk-Aware Consensual Kink (RACK) and informed consent in recreational hypnosis.

All consent must be informed. Listeners deserve to understand clearly what they are engaging with: adult fiction that explores erotic hypnosis themes and kink dynamics within a speculative fiction framework. You are choosing to experience creative storytelling, not enrolling in an experimental program or receiving therapeutic treatment.

The Deep Dream State uses hypnotic language, erotic content, and psychological themes deliberately and transparently. This content is designed for adult audiences who voluntarily seek out mind control fiction, speculative erotica, and immersive audio drama. You maintain full agency. You can stop listening at any time. Nothing in this show can override your autonomy or compromise your ability to make informed choices about your engagement with the content.

If you have concerns about distinguishing fantasy from reality, or if you find yourself experiencing distress related to this content, please discontinue listening and consult appropriate mental health resources. This show is not suitable for all audiences, and it is your responsibility to assess whether this material aligns with your wellbeing and boundaries.

By continuing to listen, you acknowledge that you are an adult choosing to engage with fictional content that explores themes of hypnosis, kink, and psychological manipulation within a clearly marked fantasy context.
