Secure Containment Procedures:
Item SCP-XXXX is currently kept in a secure locker at Site-88. All experimentation utilizing SCP-XXXX is to be performed only on personnel who experience high amounts of beta-1 wave frequency during sleep (often associated with lucid dreaming).
Should no such individuals be readily available, use of Galantamine (8 mg dosage) may be administered by qualified staff. Due to considerable side effects of Galantamine, this is not to be considered unless no individuals who suit the above criteria are readily available.
Description:
Item SCP-XXXX is a sheet of wool fabric measuring 1.1 meters by 12 centimeters, composed primarily of Mouflon wool and multiple dyes which have faded since SCP-XXXX’s manufacture. Chemical analysis indicates that the dyes are primarily anthocyanins, likely originating from mulberries.
Dating of item SCP-XXXX has proven difficult, as some sections have been sewn on as recently as the late 1800’s. The earliest sections known are dated to the 2nd century BCE.
Further spectrographical analysis has shown script written on both sides of SCP-XXXX. Side A of SCP-XXXX has several paragraphs written in an untranslated language. The script itself possesses features which indicate a familial relation to Old Italic Scripts, notably Etruscan and Venetic, however some relation to Northern European Scripts is likewise possible.
Side B of SCP-XXXX possesses the sequence of words "love - nothing - hate" (or other semantically equivalent phrases) written in 124 different known languages, as well as fragments written in unknown scripts, which are assumed to translate similarly.
Latent anomalous properties are known to occur if SCP-XXXX is worn by subjects who meet the following criteria:
- Subject reports having lucid dreams
- Subject has been administered Galantamine
- Subject has previously utilized SCP-XXXX and meets one of the above criteria
Should a subject who meets any of the above criteria wear SCP-XXXX over their head while sleeping, SCP-XXXX will cause the subject’s brain wave patterns to shift from the standard 4-6 ultradian cycles, each lasting roughly 1.5 hours, to experiencing only 3 ultradian sleep cycles, each of which was nearly three hours.
Subjects also report vivid lucid dreaming, which intensifies with repeated use of SCP-XXXX, as well as with administration of Melatonin. Subjects who meet more than one of the above criteria will report more clear descriptions of the contents of said dreams, and all subjects are known to report dreams which follow a similar structure, interviews are described below.
Upon awakening, subjects will experience anomalous discoloration, which seems to be proportional to the vividity of the dreams generated by SCP-XXXX. This discoloration appears similar to subdermal bruising, however no physical symptoms of subdermal bruising are known to occur.
Recovery:
Foundation and GOC operatives embedded in Florence, Italy became aware of an anomalous art group showcase, calling themselves “l'opera delle porte.” The anart group was headquartered in an abandoned theater located in Trespiano, immediately north of site 812. The showcase had been widely publicized by local newspapers and television media, and was predicted to have as many as 500 individuals in attendance.
The given showcase was prevented by a coordinated raid on the aforementioned theater . The anart organization had apparently become aware of the oncoming raid, and had pre-emptively evacuated their hideout, and lit the theater on fire. At the time the Foundation arrived, the remnants of the showcase were unrecognizable, save basic structures.
In the greenroom of the theater, however, five individuals were found, four of which were captured by GOC operatives and remain in the custody of the GOC. The fifth individual, identified to be the assumed leader of the anart organization.
Said leader was found dead, laying prone on the floor of the room, with a cable tied around his neck and maroon discoloration across his body. An autopsy conducted by the Foundation confirmed that the likely cause of death was asphyxiation, and no cause was found for the discoloration, which was similar in appearance to subdermal bruising, however no such bruising was present.
On his person was found a non-anomalous dream journal, detailing reports of dreams while sleeping with SCP-XXXX worn around his head. Communication between GOC and Foundation personnel indicated that members of the anart organization had been utilizing SCP-XXXX to aid in the creation of anomalous art, specifically by wearing SCP-XXXX over the head while sleeping, producing vivid dreams in the subject.
Following recovery, four D-Class subjects were utilized for testing of SCP-XXXX [see attached file].

Subject D-84304 instructed to wear SCP-XXXX during sleep. Electrodes affixed to subject's scalp, and brain activity monitored for 9 hours, compared to subject brain activity while not wearing SCP-XXXX.
Result: Subject D-84304 reported vivid and lucid dreams, however had difficultly recalling the content of said dreams [see interview below]. Similar to previous testing, D-84304 experienced discoloration, however discoloration was far more intense and occurred across the subject's body with the majority of discoloration occurring around the neck. Subject reported dissociative symptoms briefly upon awakening.
EEG scans showed that D-84304 experienced only 3 ultradian sleep cycles, each of which was nearly three hours - humans in ideal conditions usually experience 4 to 6 such cycles.
In addition, SCP-XXXX excreted a red substance during the REM period of the third ultradian cycle. Samples were identified as a fluid primarily consisting of the aforementioned anthocyanins, iron dust, and water. The admixture rapidly dried and faded, however, leaving minimal traces of its presence.
Subject's discoloration lasted twelve hours, with discoloration around the neck fading last
Interviewed: D-84304
Interviewer: Lead Researcher Ames
Foreword: Interview conducted immediately after removal of electrodes from subject.
Ames: D-84304, can you please describe your experience testing with SCP-XXXX?
D-84304: I, frankly, ma’am I don’t remember much. I remember falling asleep, waking up, and that’s about it. I’m sorry I can’t tell you more, but I just don’t remember more
Ames: That’s understandable. I assume you noticed the discoloration on your skin, however.
D-84304: Yes, I was hanged ma’am.
Ames: Hanged?
D-84304: Hanged, yes. Hanged well and rightly last night.
Ames: I’m sorry, but I don’t follow, you were asleep in our custody. You were not hanged.
D-84304: Ma’am I never said I was hanged. [subject gestures to self] Oh, I was hanged, but not this I. The other I, the I of my dream.
Ames: You recall your dream?
D-84304: I was there in the city yeah. I was good and good. I was celebrating, just like every day - I got a lot of time. May have been days there [subject pauses] and I’ve lost it. Sorry ma’am. I don’t think I’m gonna have anything more.
Ames: That’s understandable. I’m glad we could solicit what you have already said. Do you think you could go into detail about this city?
D-84304: Yeah, actually, I’ll try. Well, maybe - I dunno. I used to love going to plays, musicals even. The dream felt like a play. Felt like one in three acts. I don’t remember the second act, or most of the third, but the first act I remember.
D-84304: The city! It was golden, it was b-e-yootiful. I was everything and amazing. I ran around, I could do what I wanted. I wore what I wanted, was with who I wanted, I loved it. There was this one lady, though. I don’t - I don’t remember her name. I don’t think she had one. But gosh, she was half the world there to me. She was stunning, but more. She looked at me and I looked at her, and it’s like we were all one at once and something.
D-84304: I mean, it makes sense - she was really me. I dreamt her, so she’s me. But it didn’t feel like that. I dunno, I don’t have good words for it ma’am, but it was wonderful. It's strange to dream all that and have it be me. Ma'am, may I go back?
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Following interview, subject monitored, and due to memory-influencing abilities, the aforementioned "city" has been determined to be anomalous and is to be referred to as SCP-XXXX-A, and the other entity in the subject's dream (described as "that one lady") has been similarly documented, as SCP-XXXX-B.

Foreword: Interview conducted five hours following removal of electrodes from subject
Ames: D-84304, before we begin, I need to know that you are in an adequate mental state. I understand that Agent Mills has approved this test, but if you feel at any point that you need to stop, please let me know.
D-84304: Yes ma'am, yes ma'am
Ames: Alright. D-84304, could you please do your best to detail the contents of your dream last night.
D-84304: Ma'am, I don't want to do that.
Ames: D-84304, I didn't ask whether you wanted to…
D-84304: Ma'am, I don't… why did ya'll take me off death row?
Ames: You voluntarily agreed to this service, we didn't take you.
D-84304: That's not true. I saw what I am, I saw it all through.
Ames: D-84304, would you prefer if we terminated this interview.
D-84304: No. I'm alright. I'll talk about what I saw. I saw me. I saw all those parts - I… ma'am. Have you wondered what you look like. Wondered what the shape of your soul is? What a hole it leaves when it's plucked out of your body? I saw just the damn shape of my soul, I saw the hole it left. And, good god I can't help myself but to look back.
Ames: I don't follow
D-84304: Ma'am, when I talked about plays yesterday - or last week. I dunno. Anyhow, when I talked about plays - do you watch plays. Have you seen a Shakespeare? Have you gone and watched Goethe? Or even a Chekhov?
Ames: I have, I've seen a few
D-84304: Have you ever seen a Foorde?
Ames: I'm not familiar with…
D-84304: Well, those dreams, they feel like a Foorde play. They tug you in by your heartstrings, and that damsel, in the first act yours, the second all the more, but the third act she's the knife in your chest, the strings on your arms, the hooks in your teeth.
Ames: I don't follow.
D-84304: I want you to. Ma'am. I saw something in there, I saw my own truth, I don't want to look back. When I was in that city, it's just one. It's just one dream, and when I woke up, it's like the world was new again. Because that's just how it is, the world anew. I got the cold-bumps, I felt hate and love and fear and all in-between. I felt those three acts wrap around mine neck, and tie tighter than nothing. I saw the hole in my mate, I saw the hole left by me going. I saw the hole… the gap in the. [D-84304 pauses for a prolonged period]
Ames: D-84304, is everything alright? We can terminate this interview if necessary.
D-84304: It was the all, ma'am. It was the all. [D-84304 enters a catatonic state, believed to have been caused by immense stress. Subject removed from interview room, interview terminated inconclusively]

Subject D-26433 instructed to wear SCP-XXXX during sleep, and was administered Galantamine (8mg). Electrodes affixed to subject's scalp, and brain activity monitored for 9 hours, compared to subject brain activity while not wearing SCP-XXXX and to brain activity during prior experimentation.
Results: Subject D-26433 did not awake for a period of 15 hours, and ultradian rhythms extended to roughly five hours. Subject experienced intense dissociative symptoms, and was unable to produce phonetic speech for a period of 13 hours. Discoloration was similarly intense, covering most of the subject's body, with the exceptions of the face and palms. Subject's limbs experienced severe cramping during the dissociative period.
During non-phonetic period, subject began vocalizing sounds described by researchers as "bird-like." Subject was able to produce written communication. 74 documents were produced by D-26433 during this period, the majority of which have been sent to the Department of Alchemical Studies following review by site director Mahoe. The remainder have been determined non-anomalous, and majorly consist of blank-verse poetry, an example of which is included below. Further tests utilizing D-26433 have produced similar results.
But in that school, that school of the night
Whose repute was dark, who tossed out the crown,
We find here our rest, our sanctuary.
We shout by moon to the city afar,
That place of the king, the all-dreaming king.
For one has there gone, and going he saw
The city in yellow, with six masked lords,
But, one has no mask, and one is a’hanged.
The four with their masks, oh three do parade,
And one last in black, by Hera was lost.
So journey we do daily to that land,
That land in yellow, who’s seas are pitch-black.
We, the atheist, the treason to they,
they, who hanged the king, we seeing their cloth,
Know none is beneath, know darkness is there.
We hide now our eyes, we hide now our ears,
We scurry like rats, to get to the king.
We know he is ours, and each us are him,
For the dreaming king, his noose up on high,
Should fall like a fruit, and falling he’ll wake.
See the dreaming world over, thus arise,
Our world brought to one, his dreaming is done,
The noose of nothing, once tighter than tight,
Torn through his neck, by the school of the night.

Subject D-05464 instructed to wear SCP-XXXX during sleep. Electrodes affixed to subject's scalp, and brain activity monitored for 9 hours, compared to subject brain activity while not wearing SCP-XXXX and to brain activity during prior experimentation. This process was repeated 5 times over the course of 1 month, allowing sufficient time for the subject to recover from major psychiatric symptoms.
Results: Subject D-05464 demonstrated all symptoms associated with use of SCP-XXXX, including vivid and lucid dreaming, discoloration, dissociative symptoms, altered sleep patterns, as well as other psychiatric symptoms including aphonia.
During the course of testing, D-05464 has expressed a desire to describe the contents of their dreams via written medium. With approval from Lead Researcher Ames, subject was allotted pen and paper. Due to psychiatric symptoms, subject was rendered unable to be interviewed until three days following experimentation.
Interviewed: D-05464
Interviewer: Lead Researcher Ames
Foreword: Interview conducted three days following closure of experiment.
Ames: Subject D-05464, are you feeling well enough to speak today?
D-05464: I'll tell you now.
Ames: Well, could you describe your experience utilizing SCP-XXXX.
D-05464: It was a journey like the pathway to heaven. I found upon and in my hands, that one golden key, which opened my palace of eternity.
Ames: Are you referring to SCP-XXXX-A?
D-05464: Yes, that never was heard in tale or song.
Ames: Please continue
D-05464: Oh, all my fantasies thronged through my memory, and in the golden day did I partake, in calling shapes and beckoning shadows dire. Mine senses true, the best guide now was the riotous sound of mine ill managed merriment.
Ames: D-05464, I'm afraid you'll have to clarify. Please, also, speak up so that the microphone can register.
D-05464: No mortal mixtures of Earth could surpass it, I knew each lane and alley, each dell and glade in that wild world. For it was mine, and mine was his, and he is I, so all is mine.
Ames: D-05464, do you recall what caused the discoloration on your neck?
D-05464: This my neck, the king's as well, was torn and hanged so the world could swell. She who loved and I who loved her, knew best that it must hanging dwell. I felt her pulse as she took my cloth, and tossed it far, so I would wake not. I felt no ground, but only spears, as chained and hanged, I spent my years.
Ames: [to security personnel] We can end this interview now, nothing different from their notes.
Closing Statement: Following removal and psychiatric evaluation, all notes found on D-05464 have been submitted to Lead Researcher Ames. Sample included as an attached file.

I don't want to start with anything more than I know. I know that the anart group we investigated last year was planning to perform SCP-701. I know that some of the languages we found on SCP-XXXX resemble hermetic symbols. I want to make this last one very clear - I know that all subjects we've used SCP-XXXX on are damaged, damaged just like how Agent Papadopoulos was. Not in their bodies, but in their minds. The scans show exactly what's going on, and I hope the Oversight Committee lets me keep those attached to this file.
When all those D-Class came back to my office, they looked broken after just a couple tests. looking at this, I can't help but piece together things to make sense out of it. I'll attach the a copy of what D-05464 left on my desk before leaving. It's not hazardous, I'm sure.
<End Log, 15:44 JAN 21 2002>
There once was a king, who waking came to another world, his own. The king turned, to dream of his kingdom.
The kingdom was golden at its first, then black then yellowed.
The golden kingdom was the first act. I walked as king of kings, dreamer of my dream. I felt the city stretching before me, and my people - most pleasing in appearance - birthed from nothing into something as I passed through the streets.
But, ah, the king’s dream is longer than the life of the longest things, and the first act stretched the world, stretched it further than far, stretched it faster than fast. So knew the king he would need his lords, he would need his princes and his court.
So first looking to the people, he found their material to be soft and harsh at once. Their colors were kaleidoscope, and in all senses they were many. So took I then the five I loved and of four I molded their masks and of the fifth I removed.
For one, their mask was to be Anguished or Joyous, and their blood ran black and heavy.
For another, their mask was to be Diligent and Righteous, and their blood ran pale and viscous.
For Another, their mask was to be Odious but Charming, whose blood ran yellow and light.
For the last of the masks, I placed it to be Mirthful and Sharp, whose blood ran red and quick.
But pass thy dark unto the day, there was the fifth. The fifth I love and loved more than any, now I hate and hated more than all. So burnt I off their mask and kissed their face. Where four would rule the center of the world, so five would stretch to the edges of the dream.
That fifth was beauteous, and they were mine and I was theirs. So befell my mistake, for they knew all I could know, so they knew that they were naught but I, and so they asked for my cloth.
So I conceded it of them, and they began to fashion themselves a kleid of it. They wandered the dreamlands, leaving traces of me across the world, stretching it as far as could be thought, and still further yet. They and I were lovers, and there was harmony in the kingdom of all.

That was just the first sheet of many. If nothing else, this shows a link between SCP-XXXX, SCP-701, SCP-2732, and SCP-2264. But, if this was all, I would just have it tacked on as an addendum somewhere. There's something else. SCP-2264-4 seems to be present in all these dreams, same with -3 and -B. It's all the dream. And it's apparent that SCP-2264-5 is present, but how so? I'll attach another file, but I'm certain that its presence is a subjectivation.
<End Log, 18:12 JAN 23 2002>
But, so those seeds began to sprout, and the dream grew twisting, my mind grew weaker, and the kingdom fell into some disarray. The waters blackened, the skies darkened, and the four scurried and murmured of what was to be done.
They came to me with proposals, each of four, but still the one was out across my dreams doing my business. They begged for gifts, and promised they would fix the dream and make it golden
But they did fail.
Thus, I called from the edges of the dream the one. They were wrapped tightly in my cloth, but I saw it as though they were bare. They were bare as when I had removed their mask. Made real as dream-matter can be. They were nearly me, our difference mere substance.
They came to my ear, and whispered an advice which I regret heeding. They advised that I allow them the kingdom for a time, so the dark skies may lighten once more - So foolishly, I allowed it.
But, their conspiracy was this - they knew that so long as I knew the dream was real so too the dream would last. I felt the dream to be real, but I knew it was not. That sensation of reality was what would bring the dream to be. Were it broken, I would awake, and they would be undone, their powers gone, and all the dreaming world left like tears in the rain.
<Begin Log, 19:31 JAN 23 2002>
When we found this, I didn't know what to expect. Looking now, I'm shocked to think it was possible that I believed that.
I attached the last file below, but I think it bears a brief interpretation. I think that, without a doubt, the D-Class looked and saw what they were - they are a god shaped hole, they found it all out. This world, this, all this. It's just a dream, a dream that only lasts as long as the king hangs. And this isn't even the first world, the first dream - there have been indeterminate dreams before us. That is the god shaped hole at the center of one's being. That is the noose that tightens, that is the dying waking scream of a god which is the all.
<End Log, 19:34 JAN 23 2002>
But, their conspiracy was this - they knew the world to be a dream, that only my sensation of reality would keep it. Were it broken, I would awake, and they would be undone, their powers gone, and all the dreaming world left like tears in the rain.
I knew the dream wasn’t real, I knew I could leave when I liked. I was foolish, for the suffering of the dreamer is the prolonger of the dream. So, she and the court convinced me to dine and in dining they poisoned me. I felt numb, I felt nothing, I felt nothing as they took me through mine own city and had each body throw stones and spears and hurl sound.
They paraded me about like a criminal. So took they my robes, my gems and other gaudy things. They soaked my cloths in poison and chained them to my skin. They set me on my throne and stabbed me through. I felt the agony, I felt the world prolonged. I felt my dream lasting forever.
But forever was not long enough for the fifth. The fifth, who had wandered the world, now mocked me where I stood, gave me a chalice of blood - my blood - as a sacrifice. They had won, and they could do as they liked across all time. But forever and omnipotence not being satiating, they took one last thing - a rope, with knives and spikes and razors, and tied it around my neck. They hoisted me above my throne - I reached the apex of agony at the closure of the second day.
So here then, is my third day dreaming, with skies yellow and seas black as pitch. It will not end, I believe, in an eternity. Yet, when I awake, it will be as if nothing occurred, leaving only a god-shaped hole in a world which I made and undid.
