Note: Hypnonauting doesn't work this way: This is a fantasy erotic story, intended for 18+ audiences only. I want to thank all of my hypnonaut friends on a certain chat platform for their continued support and explorations. This story is dedicated to you and all of the beautiful dives we've done.

Tomorrow

Deep inside Concord, watching every word flowing upwards on the screen, Liam masturbated furiously, unable to stop. Along with the other hypnonauts in the group chat.
GoldTongue typed in quick succession:
"Watch closely and obey."
"Can't cum."
"Learn."
"Now we begin again."
"Dive."

About a week earlier
--
Liam logged on to Concord, checked to see if anyone had messaged him overnight--they hadn't--and then hit the Hypnonauts channel. Dead as usual. It was to be expected from a nearly private channel.
It was a small group and usually empty. Which was fine with everyone concerned. No need to have conversation when everyone was busy in other places.
Not willing to give up or drop into any of the other hypno-themed servers yet, Liam clicked on his buddy Socrates81 and started chatting. Just blundering in. Socrates81 was always marked "offline" but was almost always there.
"Yo," Liam chatted, "what's up?"
"Nothing much." Socrates81 responded.
"Really?" Liam typed.
"Yep. Apart from the usual." Socrates81 answered.
There was a bit of a pause as Liam gathered his thoughts.
"When are we diving again?" Liam asked.
"Soon. Very soon." Socrates81 typed. "I have it lined up with MilkyWay, Doric, and a new person named GoldTongue for later in the week."
"Awesome!" Liam wrote. "A five way? We're going to do a five-way dive?"
"Yep." Socrates81 responded.
"That's exciting. Largest group we've ever gone diving with." Liam typed.
There was a long pause.
Curious, Liam asked, "Who is GoldTongue?"
"GoldTongue is a great hypnotist. She has shown promise for being a hypnonaut. I did a dive with her last night. I'm going to invite her to the channel after one more dive." Socrates81 wrote.
"Cool." Liam responded, "We need new people."
Liam did not notice that Socrates81 was not cautious and somewhat flat.
"Yes." Socrates81 wrote.
"When do we do it?" Liam asked.
"It's tough with your schedule, man." Socrates81 responded.
There was a long pause.
"Let's do VC over in The Bar." Liam said.
"Sure." Socrates81 responded.
In a few minutes they were talking by voice chat in The Bar. They exchanged the usual pleasantries and caught up on what had happened to each of them during the day. It was just them. Which satisfied both.
And then RadonFix joined the voice chat.
They chatted with RadonFix for a while. He was from the UK and a relative newcomer to hypnosis. Five-or-so-years of experience. Nothing like Liam's or Socrates81's almost twenty, but good enough.
"Let me tell you about hypnonauting," Liam said.
"What?" RadonFix responded.
"Hypnonaut like astronaut." Liam said.
Keilly popped into the voice chat.
"Hi, everyone," Keilly said.
"Oh, hi. I was just talking about hypnonauting." Liam said.
"What?" Keilly said.
Liam laughed. Socrates81 was silent.
"Hypnonauting. Hypnonaut, like astronaut. Works like this." Liam said into his microphone, smiling. "You have a few people, let's say. And then you co-hypnotize each other. And then you explore macro and micro spaces or somebody's mind, together. It's really cool. Vast spaces. Or little tiny ones."
The voice chat room was silent. Then Keilly said, "that's cool!" And RadonFix chimed in "Yeah."
"It is very cool." Liam said. "You can really explore. But it takes a few things. Both parties have to have good imaginations. And be fairly smart. And be able to self-hypnotize to a degree. Yeah, yeah," Liam almost apologized, "not being elitist. But it's not a beginner's exercise. It's totally non-sexual, too."
"Oh, really?" Asked Keilly, brushing against her microphone.
"Yeah." Liam said. "It's just exploring."
"Sounds interesting but not my thing," RadonFix said.
Liam was thinking about diving with Keilly. She could have an interesting mind. But he didn't know her yet. And he wasn't going to get sucked in with her just because she was female and he was a little horny.
Socrates81 piped up. "It is very cool. You can visit and see things you wouldn't normally be able to see. Last night I went deep inside someone else's mind and we played for a few hours. I won't describe it because that's personal and private, but it was interesting."
"Maybe I'll try it some time!" Keilly said. And then promptly left voice chat.
RadonFix said, "later guys." And left also.
"Why do we always scare them off?" Liam asked Socrates81.
"Because hypnonauting is a Thing." Socrates81 said. "They're looking for a quick fix or something they expect. This is complicated."
"Yeah. All RadonFix probably wanted to do was cum." Liam said.
"Yep." Socrates81 said, flatly.
"Oh, oh, I have to go." Liam said. "Sorry, man. Gotta catch you later. It's late." And it was well past Liam's bedtime.
"Later," Socrates81 said.

Today
--
Liam logged on to Concord, checked to see if anyone had messaged him overnight--they hadn't--and then hit the Hypnonauts channel. There were . . . people in and chatting.
Socrates81. MilkyWay. Doric. And newcomer GoldTongue.
"We went into a deep space," Socrates81 had typed, "and GoldTongue had some of the most beautiful pastoral scenes I've ever experienced."
"Really?" MilkyWay typed.
"Yes." Socrates81 said. "She has a beautiful mind. All full of light."
"That's incredible," Doric typed, "I want to dive."
Liam scrolled back up and read the transcript. Socrates81 had invited MilkyWay and Doric into chat with an @. And Socrates81 had prepped the two women for introductions to GoldTongue, talking about his amazing experiences with her in just two dives. The landscapes, the galaxies, being inside GoldTongue's mind, a series of brilliant chains of light. How he'd been aroused a bit by the intensity of the encounter. That was a red flag, but Liam missed it.
Then, GoldTongue had been invited to the Hypnonauts channel and accepted.
There were welcomes all around. GoldTongue thanked everyone for being there. And then the transcript was caught up to now.
"Hey hey, Liam," MilkyWay typed.
"Yeah, hi. Long time no dive." Doric typed.
Liam felt a bit guilty as he hadn't dived with Doric in some time. Life just kept getting in the way. Doric had an amazing mind. A series of brilliant spheres etched with runes.
"Hi everyone," Liam typed. "And welcome, GoldTongue. Socrates81 speaks highly of you." And that was enough to build the trust.
"Hello." GoldTongue said. "I'm glad to be here."
"Cool. So, are we diving? @Socrates81?" Liam typed.
There was a moment's pause.
"Yes. Let's dive. Everyone let's move to the #dives room." Socrates81 typed.
The #dives room of the channel is where all previous dives, group or otherwise, had been stored. Archived away for inspection and introspection. Everyone piled in.
"OK. I'll go first," Doric typed.
"I'm going down." Doric responded to the group's unspoken question. She was self-hypnotizing, focusing on the words on her screen, dropping into a light trance state. The light of the screen illuminated her face, words scrolling up her screen in the dimness of her bedroom.
