As the title states, I'm trying to come up with a dungeon based around the brain. Just to give some information about what i'm sort of picturing and what the setups like. Currently i'm playing in a game where the 5 of us take turns dming, we're playing a pirate sort of game where we sail about on a boat from one island to the next, with all the misadventure in between. We basically take turns rolling up a 1-2 session dungeon/encounters that we dm, and it's my turn next week. For some reason i got struck with the idea that I wanted a dungeon based around being inside a huge floating head, its being an uber powerful magical or psionic creature. I wanted possible rooms to be projected memories or some sort of delving through this things memories as the layout, or some sort of pocket dimension effect in the dungeon. I'm thinking the end goal of said dungeon is some sickness or brain parasite that is infecting it. I'm making this for a very cheesed and very optimized 5-6 man 5th level party, not trying to purposefully TPK but the last DM's dungeon was way to0 easy for the party, and i want a true challenge. I know this is all over the place but if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on the matter I'd truly appreciate the effort.

Try a combination of these creatures and find a "Boss" creature for them. Maybe just advance one of those...idk.
