Internal

World scope localized within the human psyche or an oneiric mind-scape, parsing deep emotional trauma and philosophical sanity.

The thrill of navigating a mind unraveling or reconstructing itself, confronting the deepest fears and philosophical questions within the confines of one's own consciousness. It is the experience of ego dissolution and the potential for profound self-discovery or destruction.
