Im gonna spoil it so if you don't want it to be spoilt don't continue reading ok.




you sure you wanna read arh.




ok here goes.
it's about this person in a psychology place who invented a device called a DC mini which could be used to enter people's minds while they were sleeping to see their dreams, which could be displayed on a com.

Unfortunately, 3 of them got stolen and were being misused to take over the world by merging dreams with reality. People started to fall into other's dreams even while awake, especially those with more close contact with the DC mini i.e. people who worked in the company. Some people went mad and started saying weird stuff which came from the evil person who stole the DC mini's dream.

Dr Chiba is a researcher at the psychology place as well and she enters people's dreams using her subconscious, Paprika. She and Paprika are like two totally different people cuz Dr Chiba is serious and all and Paprika is more cheerful.

So Dr Chiba and the person who invented the DC mini, Dr Tokita went to find the person who stole the DC minis by observing someone who fell victim to them, who was their Chief. In his dream, which was not really his, they saw another doctor and so they went to find that doctor. At his house Dr Chiba fell victim also and found herself in a dream but she didnt know it and almost ended up tiao-ing lou. So they concluded that people who were more in touch with the DC mini were more susceptible to falling victim to it that's why Dr Chiba could have the dream even while she was awake.


It turned out that doctor was also a victim and they were all stuck in this evil person's dream of dancing refrigerators and unbrellas and a throne that sat on top of tons of wooden dolls.

Because the doctor in the dream was Dr Tokita's assisstant, Dr Tokita decided to enter the dream to ask whether he was a victim or the culprit. But he ended up getting stuck in the dream himself.

So in the end Dr Chiba went into their dreams by Paprika and managed to find the culprit, who was the chairman of the company. She also found out that another fellow doctor was like a slave of the Chairman or something and he collected butterflies. This Doctor guy liked Dr Chiba so in the dream he captured Paprika and tore her in two and there was Dr Chiba inside, unconscious. When he was gonna do something sick the chairman suddenly grew his head from the Dr's shoulder and wanted to kill Dr Chiba. But the guy Doctor didnt want that to happen of course and ended up fighting with the Chairman. Meanwhile, this other guy who was getting treated by Paprika for his strange dreams forced his way into the dream and took Dr Chiba away. The guy doctor's head then exploded into a burst of blue butterflies which went swarming after the cop guy who took Dr Chiba away. So of course he ran away la. But after the Chief told the cop guy to return to his own dream, the cop guy made the doctor guy scared of him and shot him.

He thought everything was over.

By that time dreams and reality were already merging and for some reason, Paprika thought of this link, life and death, dreams and reality, man and... woman! so she floated into the body of Dr Tokita, who was a robot in the dream and out popped this baby who started sucking up all the dreams and in the end sucked up the chairman as well, who was at that point this huge translucent black skeletal thing.

Now it really ended. All the dreams started disappearing from the real world. hooray.
