Plot: Three scientists at the Foundation for Psychiatric Research fail to secure a device they've invented, the D.C. Mini, which allows people to record and watch their dreams. A thief uses the device to enter people's minds, when awake, and distract them with their own dreams and those of others. Chaos ensues. The trio - Chiba, Tokita, and Shima - assisted by a police inspector and by a sprite named Paprika must try to identify the thief as they ward off the thief's attacks on their own psyches. Dreams, reality, and the movies merge, while characters question the limits of science and the wisdom of Big Brother.

Quotes:

Paprika: Don't you think dreams and the Internet are similar? They are both areas where the repressed conscious mind vents.

[first lines]::Paprika: Time for the greatest show on earth!

Paprika: It seems you have quite a fondness for movies.::Detective Kogawa Toshimi: I don't really like movies all THAT much...

Tokita Kohsaku: I swallow everything.

[last lines]::Detective Kogawa Toshimi: One ticket, please.

Himuro Kei: The sun during midday will light up the dark night. Night dreams of day. Light dreams of darkness. But the ignorant sun will chase away the darkness... and burn the shadows, eventually burning itself! The shade of the tree with the flowers that bloom at night is where the residents of darkness rest. The people of daytime are not allowed!

Random Dolls: This is a foolish place to be... to inquire about the master of this dream. The conceit of the daytime residents is what the nighttime residents want. To come in carelessly is like a moth to a flame.
