L E V E L X
The world of dreams. It is the realm that, each night, opens itself to us as we enter the deep sleep. It is fueled by our imagination and secret desires and is nothing more than an alternative to the reality that possesses us during our waking hours.
Not anymore.
Six people…one dream.
Transcending the next stage of consciousness…
Level X, where dreams are real.
Six people....one dream
In this pseudo science fiction series, six volunteers are hooked up to a special machine that monitors their dreams. Pulled from diverse backgrounds, the research center attempts to discover how much occurrences during the day influence the dreams. Occupation, age, personal relationships, etc. are all part of the equation to see what influences dreams.
A glitch in the dream machine plunges the subjects into a comatose stasis and their personalities are drawn into the machine, only to be manifested in the dreams themselves. However, even though all of them share the same dream, it is usually only one of them that influences the dreams and pulls the others along into it.
With the diverse backgrounds of the subjects, the dreams can transcend virtually any concept capable of imagining. The dreams can cover all aspects of history and literature.
They can go through time and space,
into the diverse world of cyberspace...
...into imagination itself.
