I mean, That Actually makes a lot of sense, But Only if i get to control my dreams, i aint dreaming about nightmares for a million millenias , HELL NO , thats worse than dying. it would be really cool tho, you are the God of your own world , for an eternity, i mean, you will never think of it as a dream, think about it, would you think the you who lived in the ''real world'' for 80long years would be ''real'' incomparison for a million years?

So this is The Matrix according to Ito-sensei.

 

[Killjoynik]

This is Itou sensei's Magnum Opus, in my opinion.

 

[Meduchi]

Probably the best Itou story. At the very least, the idea behind it is.

 

[PedroSimao002]

Wow... this was... fucking amazing. I remember there was this Black Mirror episode that gave me the chills with a similar concept to this one. But of course, Itou-sensei goes even further beyond.

10/10. Perfect pacing, story, concept, execution, everything. The best one so far.

Add another one to the list of "the protagonist is actually the monster" horror stories, a list that starts as far back as Frankenstein. Both patients are ultimately unfortunate victims, and despite their terrifying appearance, the real horror lies with the doctor, who administers the crystals to new victims. To be sure, the concept of a long dream broken by small gaps of a waking world does not necessarily have to be horrifying—it's actually a pretty famous thought experiment known as the "experience machine". What makes it horrifying, then, is the fact that the dreams are nightmares. The first patient says it pretty clearly himself, "Had they all been pleasant dreams, I wouldn't have minded". By that thought, the doctor's logic perhaps isn't wrong. But clearly, the dreams are mainly nightmares, and that in turn means the doctor is a monster, both for harming his patients and for imposing a philosophy upon them that they may not hold.
