Literal Mind Fuck

The type of reality that was presented by the film, Paprika is through entering people's dreams as a form of therapy. It's a more surreal type of world where they've created devices that can enter people's subconscious and confront different reality of species. It sort of like a world of steampunk world and the cyberpunk world, it focuses on how the world is changed through a single product. The effects of this reality are like a hypnotic form of therapy for the subconscious.


The movie is about a detective who has been troubled with recurring dreams and this scientist uses a persona to help him through the dream world. The world is weird but seems to have a hidden message about people's thoughts taking on life and tap into the mind of people's thoughts. To most people the effects of these types of movie make people freak out. However, this also fascinates people to understand a deeper meaning behind the story.

I see the change in body modification, use of steam powered objects and as the movie Paprika did, have   yourself transferred into the subconscious, ways for society to want to improve themselves for imperfections that they noticed about humanity. It's more of the extreme for me but it could have been seen as the potential for the unknown. For most readers this sort of genre is strange and surreal but for others it could be the start of the future.
