Taken from aniDB, too lazy to writte it myself:

A beautiful therapist Chiba Atsuko and a genius scientist Tokita Kosaku work for a psycho-medical institute. They invented “DC-mini. It is an epoch-making device that brings them into a patient’s dream and enables them to monitor the patient’s inner world in order to cure him. However, one day, the device was stolen by someone. Since then the dreams of those who concerned with the project have been attacked one by one, and something is going wrong. Chiba Atsuko begins to investigate the matter. However, she has another face. She is the Dream Detective Parika who synchronizes with other person’s dream to remove their trauma. She rises against the dream terrorist who uses DC-mini that is strong enough to destroy one’s personality. Who in the world is the criminal, and what for? When the manipulated dream crosses with the reality, the story goes into inner world no one ever seen, and it comes to a surprising end…

nowhere near as good as Satoshi Kon's other stuff, which I love. Millennium Actress, and Perfect Blue are certainly excellent movies. Paprika is just pretty with a bit of a plot so you can make it from beautiful scene to beautiful scene. oh, and the title credits are possibly the best ever.

Yes, in addition to writing the script for the "Magnetic Rose" portion of Memories. But in my opinion Paranoia Agent suffers from some of the same problems that emerged in Paprika. My spoilerific way of explaining this is that while his earlier work relied on making absolutely sure that the audience never figures out whether certain parts of the story are real or imagined, these two just flat out ignore this distinction and the imagined worlds explode outward to manifest themselves physically. Though in all fairness, Paprika was based on a novel, so I can't hold him completely at fault.
