    Arc 1: The Chthonic – Episode 1: Maiden Voyage
    Oct 1 2024
    The Chthonic sets sail. And the sea does not forget. Welcome to the Deep Dream State — a conspiracy audio drama about power, pleasure, and the beyond. Plot Summary The luxury cruise ship Chthonic embarks on a voyage overseen by the Dagon Dream Group. As passengers settle into their cabins and experience disturbing dreams, the ship’s leadership begins orchestrating something far more sinister. Behind the scenes, the captain and his associates identify vulnerable travelers and execute a methodical plan to target and manipulate them. What appears to be a luxury getaway conceals a coordinated conspiracy with mysterious depths. CAST Ship’s Crew Olivia, Cruise Director – Bliss BlankWilliam, Ship Captain – Neural NetsNika, Ship Maid – EchoSelene, Chief Purser – Syndi RellaMairead, Spa Manager – Bun LiFion, Chief Engineer – Jade Wolf Guests Alistair, CEO of Neuroplex – Jericho CaineHolly, His Girlfriend – Dizzy DollieEmma, The Bride-to-Be – PippBrittany, Bridesmaid – Kitten AzazelKara, Bridesmaid – Tender ConfusionSarah, Bridesmaid – Ring of KeesTiffany, Bridesmaid – Britt Reprogrammed Plot Synopsis (with spoilers) The cruise begins with Cruise Director Olivia Naylor greeting passengers and outlining the itinerary under the Dagon Dream Group banner. She promotes nightly bells, a wellness center managed by Mairead, and the Dagon app controlled by crew member Nikita. Captain Will Dyer, Chief Engineer Fion Morgan, and Chief Purser Selene round out the leadership presented to guests. The atmosphere appears welcoming and professionally managed. In their cabin, bachelorette party guests Emma, Tiffany, Brittany, Kara, and Sarah share unsettling nocturnal experiences. Strange sounds emanate through the ship’s walls, and their collective nightmares involve tentacles and the sensation of being observed. When Captain Dyer and Olivia briefly check on them, the passengers mention nothing specific, and the leadership departs without investigation. The moments of connection and concern prove superficial. Behind closed doors, the captain confronts Olivia with explicit demands for absolute obedience tied to “the tank” and entities called the Old Ones, specifically invoking Abyssrath. Olivia submits without resistance. Later, Alistair Howell, owner of Neuroplex and the ship’s true architect, uses Olivia for control exercises and instructs her to identify new targets. Meanwhile, crew members Nikita, Mairead, and Fion witness the ship’s darker reality. Nikita emerges from Room 203 visibly harmed. Selene reveals that she has worked such vessels before and that formal complaints are deliberately ignored. She performs a cryptic shanty referencing judgment from the waters. The conspiracy unfolds through calculated moves. A casino night attracts Mairead, who is financially desperate and mathematically convinced she can gain advantage through high-stakes poker. She loses to Alistair and accumulates debt. Captain Dyer reviews surveillance footage and identifies Mairead as the perfect mark: vulnerable, broke, and isolated. Olivia agrees to leverage the ship’s systems, the nightly bell, and the Dagon app as tools for entrapment. The episode concludes with the machine set in motion to deliver Mairead into the hands of those orchestrating the voyage.

  • Arc 1: The Chthonic – Episode 5: Shower

    Arc 1: The Chthonic – Episode 5: Shower
    Oct 5 2024
    Shower begins with Amanda and Brittany drifting through foggy thoughts and memories. They are unsure what is dream and what is real. So are you. All you know is that the tentacles are very very VERY real.

    What follows is a series of rituals and revelations that tie their personal disorientation to a wider pattern. Old myths of brides of the sea, forgotten gods, and ritual cleansing re-emerge, placing even ordinary acts like bathing into the context of transformation. Meanwhile, Sarah and Kara uncover fragments of hidden lore, pointing toward ceremonies of binding and a looming figure known as the Old Groom.

    By the end of the episode, it is clear that Shower is not just about cleansing but erasure. We are washing away memory and identity to make room for something else.

    Content Advisory

    This episode contains hypnotic themes, submissive dynamics, and psychological manipulation. Listener discretion advised.

    As with all entries in Deep Dream State, Tesselated frames erotic control as dystopia — an exploration of surveillance, belief, and the fragility of consent. The story reflects Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns’ evolving ethics in kink storytelling: desire examined under pressure, autonomy reframed as resistance, and submission revealed as a mirror rather than a goal.

    Arc 1: The Chthonic – Episode 8: Undergloom
    Oct 7 2024
    Summary Welcome to Episode 8 of Deep Dream State. There’s room for you inside the Lotus. Deep Dream State enters its darkest arc with Undergloom, a desire horror descent into ritual and transcendence. Holly and Fion orchestrate a summoning during a chaotic rave as cover for corporate exploitation. Sarah, Mairead, and Emma experience genuine power breaking through the machinery designed to contain them. What they don’t know is that every moment of their transcendence has already been captured for sale.

Content Advisory This episode contains hypnotic themes, submissive dynamics, and psychological manipulation. Listener discretion advised. Full Synopsis with Spoilers Holly surfaces into full conditioning as a Naditu priestess, her consciousness partitioned into obedience. The Captain and Olivia have already decided her fate: she’ll be renamed “Dizzy,” repositioned to the spa’s observation window, forced into service performances for paying guests while her neural feeds stream live to subscribers. But Holly sees further than their calculations. She’s already turned. She reveals her knowledge to the crew: they’re going to open a door during the next union, during the rave. Chaos as cover for summoning. Holly and the Captain understand each other now. They’re partners in what’s coming. Fion arrives conflicted, caught between objection and pragmatism. She sees what Holly has become and envies the certainty of it. Alone with Holly, she’s offered a choice that isn’t really a choice: repeat the liturgy, enter the ritual, experience the peace that comes from surrender. Holly whispers a numerical sequence and the restraints disengage. Fion steps into the device alongside her. They synchronize into pleasure and the promise of dissolution. Fion has made her trade. Obedience for relief. Complicity for peace. In the depths, the rave unfolds. Sarah, Mairead, and Emma gather as whale-song transmissions pulse through the chaos. Selene conducts, Kara amplifies the resonance, and all three recognize what moves beneath the music: not mindless force but consciousness itself, composed through harmonic alignment. Sarah surrenders to the need for deeper entanglement, discovering that the peril she fled was only foreplay. Mairead begs for breaking, finding in her fragmentation a purity she has chased her entire life. Emma understands her function at last: she is the bride, the bridge, the hybrid bearer. She was sung into being before she had a name. Desire horror operates here at the level of genuine choice. Sarah, Mairead, and Emma don’t resist what’s happening. They choose it. They spiral tighter together, chanting in unison. The more one feels it, the deeper it goes into the others. They are bound by flesh, voice, and purpose. Mairead laughs through tears as she breaks, finding home in the dissolution. The Old Ones draw closer. The tide moves deeper inside them. Every scream becomes song. Selene conducts the resonance, lifting her arms as the tentacles pulse with each motion, tightening and loosening in rhythms timed to the beat. These are not victims of the machinery. They are willing offerings to what moves beneath the ship, and their ecstasy is not imposed but chosen at every breath. For one moment, the architecture of the world above cannot contain what they have become. They have stepped beyond the reach of the people who set this in motion. They have found something real in the chaos. The rave closes around them. Holly watches from the shadows, satisfied. Fion nods. The summoning has succeeded. The door has opened. Sarah, Mairead, and Emma have transcended, and in transcending, they’ve escaped. What they don’t know is that every moment of their breaking has been recorded. Every scream, every moment of power, captured and ready to be packaged. The real horror waits in what comes next.
