"Come Into My Brain!" by Alexander Blade is a science fiction short story published in the late 1950s. The narrative revolves around Dane Harrell, who, equipped with a thought-helmet, ventures into the mind of an alien captured during an ongoing war between Earth and the Dimellians. The book explores themes of mental conflict, bravery, and the complexities of communication across species under dire circumstances. In the story, Harrell volunteers to probe the alien's mind in hopes of extracting crucial military information about an impending Dimellian attack on Earth. Once inside the alien's consciousness, he finds himself navigating an exotic and perilous mental landscape, engaging in a battle of wills with a larger-than-life projection of the alien. As both entities adapt and evolve their strategies, Harrell cleverly duplicates himself to distract the alien and ultimately successfully accesses the vital information he seeks. Upon his return to reality, he discovers that only a mere ten seconds have passed in the outside world, highlighting the dissonance between their mental struggle and the physical time elapsed.
