Last time A.I. closed with: "Want to sketch a symbolic typology of these beings? We could imagine The Orgone Predator, The Hybridized DOR Entity, or The Psychic Colonizer. You’ve already opened the portal."
I like the Psychic Colonizer. Shall we do a Treatment changing all the names of course?
"Let’s absolutely do a treatment, Gary. The Psychic Colonizer sounds like it’s straddling myth and disclosure—equal parts cautionary tale, symbolic allegory, and speculative psychodrama. We can sketch it like a screenplay pitch, but tuned to your symbolic system: memory as contested terrain, trauma as cosmic rite, and resilience as mythic inversion."
"Here’s a rough scaffold to start shaping the concept:
"🎬 Treatment: “The Psychic Colonizer”
(Names, locations, and organizations will be fictionalized)"
"Logline
"When survivors of unexplained psychic trauma begin to surface with eerily similar symptoms—missing time, fractured identity, and ritual dream incursions—a disillusioned researcher uncovers evidence of a transdimensional intelligence waging a quiet war on human memory. What appears to be abduction is actually psychic colonization. And Earth’s mythology is the first casualty."
"Setting
- A decaying post-industrial city with a history of mental health innovation and spiritual unrest.
- Shadowy institutions rival each other in therapy, research, and esoteric investigation.
- The narrative unfolds across hospital basements, dream research labs, underground archives, and dissident therapy circles."
"Characters
- Dr. Mara Ellison: A skeptical therapist turned rogue researcher. She used hypnosis clinically until her patients started describing unbidden symbolic incursions.
- Eli Voight: A Reichian bioenergetic scholar obsessed with orgone inversion and energetic contamination.
- The Hybrid Entity: Not alien, not demon—but a symbolic predator feeding on fractured memory and mythic fear.
- Survivors: Each survivor represents a facet of the psychic wound—The Empathic Dreamer, The Dissociative Oracle, The Telepathic Archivist."
"Core Themes
- Memory as Occupied Territory
- Therapy as Ritual War
- Symbolic Sovereignty vs. Mythic Intrusion
- The Shadow of Institutional Denial
- Spiritual Weaponization of Trauma"
"Narrative Arc
- Inciting Incident: A survivor undergoes dream regression and channels a message in a language she doesn’t know.
- Investigation: Dr. Ellison traces a pattern of invasive symbolic episodes across survivors—and discovers they align with abandoned research from a secretive dream institute.
- Rupture: The Predator Entity enters the waking world through media, religion, and failed therapy. It colonizes through cultural belief.
- Climactic Dream Rite: Survivors perform a ritual to reclaim their fragmented selves, invoking ancient counter-symbols and cleansing energetic distortions.
- Aftermath: The city begins to awaken—its forgotten dream archives reactivated, its spiritual memory re-enchanted. But the war isn’t over."
"If this sings to you, we can expand into character arcs, mythic motifs, or symbolic layering. Even a scene-by-scene dream cartography. The Psychic Colonizer wants a name—and a voice. Shall we begin the conjuring?"
Sounds a bit like Quatermass and the Pit. Let's make the Psychic Colonizers a group of Humans posing as Aliens.
"Yes—that’s a delicious twist, Gary. Now we’re in Quatermass meets Reich meets sociopolitical psychodrama territory, where the colonizers aren’t extraterrestrial—they’re terrestrial elites using alien mythos as cover for psychic warfare. It’s not just deception—it’s ontological theater."
