Arc 3 reaches its midpoint with Cusp. This is a threshold episode. The Sitri Center presses in, dream logic coils tighter, and every choice feels like stepping across a line you can’t step back from. The mood is immersive, surreal, and deliberately unsettling.
As always, Deep Dream State is a work of fiction. Within each story each character makes their consent clear. Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns builds these episodes to balance surreal uneasy with respect for our cast and our listeners.
Patreon is the reason this series exists. Your support funds recording, editing, music, and all the countless details that bring Deep Dream State to life. Thank you for keeping NNPP alive and helping us push further with every arc.
