When deep-diving equipment connects your consciousness to someone else's, what you share isn't just inspiration, but each other's deepest fears. We think we're creating dreams, but in fact we're feeding inner demons. Then, once they've tasted enough emotion, they shatter reason and appear in the real world. This isn't an alien invasion. It's an abyss humanity opened for itself. Either you let fear consume you, or you become its keeper. And the feed is whatever scraps of reason and humanity remain in us.
