Benevolent Nightmares SENSAII

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: According to the latest insights it is not possible nor necessary to contain SCP-XXXX as it poses no direct threat to humanity and it shows benevolent behavior in relation to humans.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an entity, which is part of and is most probably the cause of all dreams, nightmares, sleepparalysis and loss-of-conciousness phenomena. The first traces of its existence were found in cave paintings in the Maltravieso cave. These cave paintings were determined to be older than 64000 years. It is not clear if the entity existed prior to this time mark as this was the earliest case of documentation of information recorded. Confirmation of the anomality of SCP-XXXX was carried out using a Hume-Field-Detector. The measurements were conducted while the Test-Subject was in REM-Sleep. The Moment REM-Sleep started the Hume values fluctuated at a high frequency, which indicates an anomaly in reality.

The SCP-XXXX appears, when a human being transfers into a non-concious state. It appears as an object, subject, or in some cases as something "terrifyingly caring". This term is used to summarize the descriptions provided by subjects exposed to SCP-XXXX regularly.

In non-negative dreams SCP-XXXX is usually not percievable directly as an entity. It is mostly hidden and shows itself only as distortions of the "dreamspace"¹. Those distortions can be percieved as objects, entities or general deviations from normal reality.

Transcript Interview I-XXXX-2

Interviewee: D-XXXX-2

Interviewer: Dr. Knabe

<Begin Log>

Dr. Knabe: Hello, i am going to ask you some questions about your dreams.

D-XXXX-2: Um okay?

Dr. Knabe: So, were you having some dreams you remember?

D-XXXX-2: I wouldnt call them dreams. They are nightmares. Dream sounds too positive.

Dr. Knabe: Oh, interesting.

D-XXXX-2: I am always having those messed up dreams.

Dr. Knabe: Do you mind elaborating?

D-XXXX-2: I am going to have nightmares again tonight but whatever. So basically my Mum died just before i got into this whole SCP-Foundation-Thing. She always appears in my dreams. Usually something messed up happens to her every time. For example in my last dream. I was laying in my bed and she came in the door. Then she just rolled her eyes back, fell over and phased through the floor. I woke up crying afterwards.

Interviewer: Dr. Knabe

<Begin Log>

Dr. Knabe: Good morning D-Class.

D-XXXX-3: sup, Doc.

Dr. Knabe: Open for some questions?

D-XXXX-3: Aye sir.

Dr. Knabe: Did you have any dreams lately?

D-XXXX-3: Not exactly Dreams, but some weird shit happened lately.

Dr. Knabe: Language! Anyway, what went down?

D-XXXX-3: Basically i woke up, but i didn't.

Dr. Knabe: Excuse me?

D-XXXX-3: I was sleeping. Then i woke up and opened my eyes, but i couldn't move, just look around. Also i felt a heavy weight on my chest. When i was looking around i saw some shadows. But thats it.

Dr. Knabe: Interesting. Seems like you experienced the phenomena of sleep paralysis. It's basically when your mind wakes up but your body doesn't. No need to worry.

D-XXXX-3: Thanks doc, i thought i was going mad.

Dr. Knabe: Totally normal. Anything else?

D-XXXX-3: Nah, thats it. Not a big dreamer anyways.

I'm not getting on with it. Those interviews didn't help me at all.

They are just dreams, or at least that's what i would think if there wasn't for this weird Hume-Level fluctuation.

This doesn't make sense.

There has to be something.

I did almost 130 Inteviews with D-Classes, but most of them seem to never dream.

I better go to Sleep now.

I had a weird dream today.

I was at the library, just looking at some books.

One fell out.

It felt like it was mocking me.

I don't know how a book could mock me, but i felt it.

The title of the book was "curious?"

Weird.

Woke up after that.

Personal Log 003:

I think the stress is getting to my head.

I dreamt again.

I was in the library again.

The book was still there and opened.

I went to read it, but as i began to read it it just slammed shut.

As it closed everything went black. I didn't saw anything. But i felt something.

Warmth

I felt like i felt when i was around my parents

But i was still scared straight

It does not stop

It's ironic that of all people I have weird dreams

There was a light now.

In that light there was a silhouette waving me over.

It had no hands.

Not like in a human with no arms, but more it was just a black…shape?

But it waved me over.

I dont know what i should be thinking about that.

It was like in I-XXXX-3. It was sleep paralysis.

It was talking to me.

Shining white eyes. Like a floodlight. But it wasn't lighting up anything but it blinded me.

When i finally woke up i still was blinded.

I don't know what it said. Screaming. But it felt calming and warm.

I felt heavy
I still lied there untill it was gone.
Whatever. Probably i'm thinking about dreams too much.

Personal Log 006:

"Hush child of the sun. You seek answers? They lie buried in the last cycle.
It turns and turns and turns and turns. You want to know? Sleep tight as for you have much to learn."

Is this what madness feels like?

What's the meaning of all of this?

Personal Log 007:

Date: 22.09.2020

It showed me a battlefield tonight. Slowly shifting from medival to modern.

"It happened once, it will happen again and it will keep happening again until being is no more.
You don't have to scream as everybody else is already screaming. You want to know? You will know. Open thy heart, mind and soul to what happened all the last cycles."

I think it wants to show me something. The last cycles? Open my heart?

Am i losing it?

I'm feeling mad, but it's so warm.

I want to know

Personal Log 008:

Date: 23.09.2020

I open my eyes without opening them.

I feel a warmth in my chest.

A hand on my shoulder. It stands beside me.

I see…No, i feel it showing me humanity. Still in my nothingness.

Hate

War

All the wrongdoings of us humans

I get colder

jealousy

negligence

I am freezing

Murder

prejudice

A blizzard in my soul

A sea of tar.

My heart on ice

Little stars shining in the darkness

An inferno inside me.

It doesn't have to be like that.

Again

Footnotes

1. The dreamspace is defined as a subspace of general reality. The state generally described as "being unconcious" is result of the shift of the conciousness into this pocket-reality called dreamspace and hereby not existing in general reality.
