Traps for a Psionic Fortress

My players are about to find the fortress of a psionic demon lord, and I am trying to come up with good traps for the entrance. Here's how it works.

The structure itself is a geodesic dome. It is comprised of hundreds of triangular panels created from psionically-active obsidian. They are imbued with the glide power, and one panel is missing. So like a slide puzzle, the panels of the exterior are constantly shifting with one ever-moving entrance.

Inside the dome is a maze comprised of distorted space and more moving panels. So it's like the MC Escher painting, except always shifting. The entrance into the fortress is at the ground level in the center of the dome. There are four false passages as well. And I want these to be pretty evil.

So I'm trying to come up with trap ideas that will instill stark fear into the players rather than immediate death into the PCs. So they should be psionic and/or demonic in nature.

Traps have never been a strong point for me, so I would be grateful for any evil suggestions.

Some ideas:

- A fear-store that projects the memories of fear felt by every victim before being dragged inside the fortress.

- A dozen captive, tortured, insane psionicist minds locked inside the gateway that will raven at anyone who comes close.

- Illusions. Illusions are always good. How about an illusion of a fear-store, unleasing fragmentary images to fall among the PCs and threated madness and harm?
