Show synopsis

Deep Dream State is a full-cast dystopian sci-fi and desire horror audio drama by Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns. As the originating work of desire horror, it locates the uncanny inside wanting itself. While conventional horror positions you against a threat, desire horror implicates you in it. The horror emerges from recognition: the realization of why characters stay, and why surrender feels like relief.

Since 2017, the show has used research in dream science, surveillance studies, behavioral economics, and advertising technology to examine systems of control through immersive sound design and full-cast performance.

Ad—Creators set the price with Scribl's CrowdPricing.

"Deep Dream State" exists at the boundary of horror and adult material. It asks why we're attracted to some horror elements. That boundary condition matters and it's tough to find in an era of niche-ification.
