Q&A

Chemically Induced Simulation

+0
−0

How could an organism (anywhere from animal to monster to humanoid) induce and control lifelike hallucinations simulating reality in (possibly unwilling) humans?

The aesthetic thought was of a monster (or whatever) surrounded by humans who are experiencing some form of simulated reality while laying in a puddle of chemicals around the monster.

Preferably the humans would be relatively unharmed once the creature released them from their experience.

This would be set in a world mostly similar to ours (no magic), but would be set in the future and would very likely feature extraterrestrial life.


Edit:

Specifically, I'm interested in how and in what detail could the perceived realities of the dreamers be controlled?
