About the Creator

Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns has always worked at the intersection of language, sound, and altered states. He treats hypnosis not just as a subject of narrative but as a method of composition itself. Every script, every edit, and every performance is designed to shift the listener’s attention, to alter perception, and to leave an imprint that lingers long after the episode ends.

He is known for combining erotic hypnosis with speculative science fiction, dream logic, and conspiratorial imagery. The result is art that is difficult to categorize. It is not simply erotica, not simply horror, not simply a thriller. It is a body of work that invites listeners into a dream and asks them to stay there.

Origins of Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns

Before Deep Dream State, Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns was best known as a prolific author of mind control stories and speculative science fiction. His work circulated widely on blogs and forums, drawing a readership in the tens of thousands. These early pieces explored themes of submission, transformation, altered states, and identity, often combining speculative settings with hypnotic motifs.

The stories stood out for their technique as much as for their content. Instead of relying solely on plot, they emphasized rhythm, pacing, and recursive phrasing. Sentences circled back on themselves, words repeated until they gathered an almost hypnotic resonance. Readers frequently described the writing as a trance experience in its own right, where the form of the prose mirrored the themes it depicted.

This approach reflected an early academic interest in how language shapes perception. Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns studied how cadence, rhetorical loops, and textual ornamentation could influence attention. Those same concerns later carried over into audio, where sound itself became the medium of trance.

By the late 2000s his reputation as a writer was well established. Yet the page alone was no longer sufficient. He began to record his own voice, layering language with sound design, testing how performance could extend the effects of text. These early experiments in audio laid the groundwork for what would eventually become Deep Dream State.

The Birth of Deep Dream State

Deep Dream State emerged from a desire to combine narrative audio drama with the mechanics of trance. It is built in arcs, each one exploring a different dimension of dreaming, hypnosis, and identity. The project launched publicly as a podcast and quickly distinguished itself from other audio dramas by its intensity, erotic charge, and hypnotic technique.

For essays expanding on these ideas, see Erotic Hypnosis and Scientism, where the relationship between trance, science, and art is explored in depth.

Listeners describe the show as both addictive and disorienting. Some treat it as entertainment. Others use it as trance training. For many, the line between the two vanishes. This ambiguity is part of the design.

The podcast’s production process emphasizes immersion. Scripts are written with hypnotic cadence. Performances are delivered with intimate precision. Edits are minimal but exact, keeping breaths, silences, and repetitions intact. Sound design supports trance rather than distracting from it. The result is an experience closer to ritual than to conventional drama.

Themes and Style

Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns writes in overlapping thematic layers.

Mind Control and Consent

The stories use mind control as both metaphor and mechanism. Characters negotiate power, consent, and desire in ways that reflect and distort real dynamics. Episodes often highlight the tension between agency and surrender, showing how easily one shades into the other.

Identity and Transformation

Identity is never stable in Deep Dream State. Characters change names, voices, and roles. They dissolve into dreams or reassemble themselves according to new patterns. Transformation is erotic, horrifying, and liberating at once.

Dreams and Altered States

Every arc treats dreaming as a landscape. Sleep paralysis, lucid dreams, and collective dreamspaces provide the settings for the story. Dreams are not escapes from reality. They are extensions of it, where control and submission are enacted in heightened form.

Surreal Horror and Conspiracy

The show borrows the aesthetics of conspiracy thrillers and surreal horror. Secret institutions, hidden experiments, and ancient symbols appear throughout the story. Listeners are never sure if they are inside a nightmare, an archive, or a confession.

Arc Summaries

Arc One: The Chthonic

The opening arc, The Chthonic, introduces the Institute where much of the story unfolds. Listeners meet characters like Elle, Tessa, Meg, and Z, who are drawn into experiments that combine hypnosis, sexuality, and dream manipulation. This arc establishes the tone: claustrophobic, erotic, and conspiratorial.

Arc Two: Incognitoh

In Incognitoh, the show explores how hypnosis and identity are hidden in plain sight. Characters struggle with memory loss, false awakenings, and manipulative research. The narrative plays with the boundaries between writing, speaking, and dreaming. Themes of authorship and authority become central, as both characters and listeners question who is controlling the story.

Arc Three: Sitri Center

The Sitri Center arc pushes further into transformation. Characters face dream parasites, succubi, and hypnotic cults. This arc expands the mythos, weaving together ancient ritual with modern dream science. It is more expansive and more dangerous, with eroticism and horror reaching new extremes.

Each arc builds on the last, creating a cumulative effect. Listeners who follow from the beginning experience the gradual erosion of boundaries between dream and waking, fiction and hypnosis, pleasure and fear.

Creative Process

Every episode of Deep Dream State is built to function on multiple levels.

  • Scriptwriting: Each script is written as both narrative and induction. Repetition, rhythm, and phrasing are chosen for hypnotic impact.

  • Performance: Voice is delivered intimately, often directly into the ear, as though the listener is alone with the speaker.

  • Sound Design: Layers of ambient sound, music, and silence are arranged to support immersion. Nothing is added for decoration alone.

  • Editing: Cuts are precise. Pauses are left long enough to draw the listener down. Loops are reinforced through subtle audio tricks.

This process treats the medium itself as hypnotic. The aim is not only to tell a story about hypnosis, but to create an episode that functions as hypnosis.
