Hallucinatory

A surreal, dream-like prose technique that intentionally distorts time, space, and logic to simulate altered states of consciousness or subjective madness.

The thrill of losing oneself in a waking dream, where the familiar rules of reality bend and break. It's the disorienting yet captivating experience of perceiving the world through a fractured, subjective lens.
