Inside the Sitri Institute, control begins to fracture. “Cusp” explores the moment between awakening and surrender, where observation turns intimate and the researchers become subjects of their own experiment.

When a new assistant, Elle, joins the team, her bright eagerness only deepens the cracks in the hierarchy. Dr. Tessa Finn and Meg Aerin continue monitoring Lyra Crosswell’s dream loops, where corridors stretch forever and climax never arrives. As the team tracks her descent through stations named Sippar, Kutha, Eanna, Ereshkigal, and Ur, it becomes clear that Lyra’s paralysis is ritual, not pathology.

Outside the chamber, whispers of the Institute’s hidden corridors surface, and within them, Tessa confesses that the dream maps aren’t metaphor at all. They’re blueprints. And they lead somewhere real.

“Cusp” bridges the psychic and the physical, continuing Deep Dream State’s descent into erotic hypnosis, dream-tech, and mythic control.

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

Deep Dream State is a surreal audio drama written and produced by Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns. The series merges lucid dreaming, hypnosis, and transformation into psychological fiction exploring the boundaries of control, identity, and desire.

All performances are works of fiction and take place within a consensual creative context.

Gazes Back starts with the soft sell and ends with a hard line.  Elle’s “puppet” routine becomes training, stitching mantras into performance.

When Meg drops, Z and Tessa step into a room that should have stayed sealed and the protocol writes them in. The fallout is administrative and intimate at once: roles adjusted, edits exposed, and the understanding that Sitri’s loop doesn’t just measure desire.

It manufactures it.

Incubator ventures into sleep paralysis, succubi, and the blurred line between myth and science. Elle Lawson’s dream locked in the Sitri Center, where research and ritual overlap.

Dr. Meg Aerin treats Elle’s immobility as data.  Dr. June Lowell demands metrics, not poetry, but Meg presses forward, framing Elle’s surrender as proof of neurocompliance.  Inside the dream, Elle meets Nyra and Hespa, voices who warn and guide her toward the figure already inside.  When Cael appears, the script shifts.

Awake, Elle confesses the terror and thrill of her paralysis dreams.  Meg prescribes mnemonic and visual induction techniques, but Elle senses the danger.  Journals become confessions, and dreams bleed into logs.  Meg’s own entries betray her complicity and her submission.

The Sitri Center thrives on that overlap and so do the dream figures that hold you down.

Adapt picks up where Drill left off. The subjects of the Sitri Center are asked to bend, to change, to let themselves be reshaped. What begins as a calm suggestion becomes a pattern they cannot refuse — each dream folding into the next, each voice reinforcing the same instruction. Adaptation is survival, but it also becomes surrender.

Content Warnings: dream manipulation, enforced conformity, group hypnosis dynamics, submissive themes

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.

Drill sets the stage for the Sitri arc, establishing rivalries, stakes, and the unnerving intimacy of experimental dream manipulation. If you are drawn to audio dramas or narrative experiments at the edge of science and desire, this episode is where it begins.

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.

She said the line.
They all said the line.
And now it’s her turn to mean it.

The Council isn’t watching anymore.
They’re playing.
And everything Ashley thinks is real…
was probably written by someone else.

Every uniform tells a story. And none of the stories are real.

Cheerleader. Cow. Bimrista. Barista.
What matters is what they do to you — how they fit, where they buzz, what they unlock.

New icons. New rules. New triggers.
Because when the costumes go on…
the mask comes off.

She was only supposed to play a character.
But now the mirrors won’t let her leave.

They’re watching everything.
And she’s starting to like it.
