Line 10:
''There's someone in my head but it's not me''|''[[Pink Floyd]]'', "[[The Dark Side of the Moon|Brain Damage]]"}}
A relative to [[Fantastic Voyage Plot]], except instead of traveling into another character's physical body via [[Applied Phlebotinum]], they [[Mental World|enter their mind]]. The problem this is supposed to solve can range from recurring nightmares to [[Easy Amnesia|memory loss]] to [[Single
Often the justification for a [[Mind Screw]] episode.
Line 30:
* In episode 12 of ''[[Pani Poni Dash]]'', alien technology causes Rebecca's class to get stuck in Himeko's dreamscape, where they encounter all matter of weirdness, including [[Idiot Hair]] on everything, a restaurant that serves nothing but crabs, and a fat thug who claims to be the Archangel Michael guarding the door to Himeko's heart.
* In the ''[[X 1999]]'' anime and manga, the Taoist mystic Subaru takes a trip Within {{spoiler|to pull Kamui out of his [[Heroic BSOD]] and [[Convenient Coma|catatonic state]] after Fuuma's [[Face Heel Turn]] and Kotori's death}}. He first used this technique in ''[[Tokyo Babylon]]'', where he entered the mind of a rape victim to help her deal with the trauma.
* The ending of ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' turns into a ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''-[[Shout
** It isn't the first time something similar happened, either. This is the problem with being in an [[Eldritch Location]] with an [[Amplifier Artifact]] near someone who {{spoiler|[[Reality Warper|can change the way the world is put together]]}} and doesn't know it; [[Psychoactive Powers]] tend to ensue.
* With the help of a stray Unown, the ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime's heroes go into a Larvitar's mind to find out what exactly went wrong to make him so untrusting of humans: an incident involving poachers that left its Tyranitar mother injured and the two separated when it was still in its egg!
Line 77:
* This also happened during ''[[Discworld (Literature)/A Hat Full of Sky|A Hat Full of Sky]]'' by [[Terry Pratchett]]. The Nac Mac Feegles entered Tiffany's mind in order to {{spoiler|bring her some sheep's wool, Jolly Sailor Tobacco and turpentine, all things she relates with home and Granny Aching, to help her fight the Hiver that was controlling her mind.}}
** There are also some short scenes in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Thud|Thud!]]'' which show Sam Vimes' mind as a permanently rainy, yet apparently empty city.
* In ''Timewyrm: Revelation'', one of the very first ''[[
* In Simon Spurrier's [[Warhammer 40000]] [[Night Lords]] novel ''Lord of the Night'', the eldar trap Sahaal in his own mind. The psyker Mita is caught with him and at first thinks it's a daemon world. She explains the situation, he persuades her, and she frees him.
* The protagonist of Norman Spinrad's ''Carcinoma Angels'' goes on a journey into his own mind to attempt to cure his cancer. It works, but in a twist ending {{spoiler|he can't find his way back out and spends the rest of his life in a coma.}}
Line 98:
* In the season four (two part) finale of ''[[House (TV)|House]]'', Chase attempts to use medical hypnotism to unlock House's memories of a bus-crash. We can see both the inside of the bar he visited beforehand, and the bus he rode on. Most details are obscured or not present.
{{quote| '''House:''' God, I hate Beer brand beer!}}
* In ''[[Smallville]]'', [[Superman|Clark Kent]] does one of these to get some data from Lex Luthor's head and save his [[Brought Down to Normal]] cousin Kara. It should be noted that the machine used for the trip had killed everyone who tried to use it before, but, well, it IS [[Luckily, My Powers Will Protect Me|Super]][[New Powers As the Plot Demands|man]]. Inside Lex's head he found [[Anthropomorphic Personification|2 Lexes]], the adult, [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|ruthless]] Lex, and a child one, referred to as [[Shout
** Then there was other one, when one of the criminals from the [[Phantom Zone]] tries to [[Body Surf|take over]] Clark's body, trapping him in a imaginary world where he is a schizophrenic patient who [[All Just a Dream|has hallucinated every bit of the series so far]] (The Phantom Zone is a book on a shelf, Jor-El is a brand of shampoo, and so on). It is the [[Martian Manhunter]] who [[Journey to The Center of The Mind|enters his mind]] to save him.
* In the ''[[Fraggle Rock]]'' episode "Boober's Dream," Boober goes on a [[Journey to The Center of The Mind]] to confront his [[Keet|fun-loving and irresponsible]] [[Gollum Made Me Do It|alter-ego Sidebottom]], who has gotten out of control. When this fails, he enlists the rest of the [[Five-Man Band]] to [[Dream Land|journey with him]] and put a stop to Sidebottom's antics.
Line 143:
* The third ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' game sees Sly entering the mind of a trance-bound Panda King with a little help from the Guru. Once inside, he finds the Panda King locked in their [[Boss Battle]] from the first game, continuously reliving the moment of his ultimate failure.
* [[Earthbound|Magicant]].
* Happens in ''[[Drakengard]] 2'', in which the protagonist, through [[Hand Wave|sheer force of will]], enters Manah's mind to cleanse it of [[Demonic Possession]], ending in a rather creepy [[Battle in The Center of The Mind]] against lots of shadowy clones of Manah's younger self. [[The Faceless|But with only]] [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]].
** [[Nintendo Hard|That hurt like hell]]
* In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei I]]'', you have to enter the mind of the heroine to eradicate a demon that is devouring her from the inside.
