Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be surrounded by a chain link fence to prevent civilian access. A sign is to be posted near SCP-XXXX warning passerby and employees of Kings Canyon National Park of drowning risk and the effects of hypoxia on cognition. SCP-XXXX's depth is to be measured for variation daily.

All personnel must have their amesticization histories and/or criminal records reviewed prior to planned exposure to SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a pond of standing water located in Kings Canyon National Park. Despite its small size, SCP-XXXX has an aphotic zone located at a depth of 2 meters, a phenomenon confirmed by both human observation and visual recording. Compositional analysis of SCP-XXXX's water has revealed no abnormalities when cross referenced with nearby water sources. SCP-XXXX's depth and volume adjusts yearly (regardless of seasonal rainfall), reaching its maximum size in late August. Other events have been observed to cause anomalous surges in SCP-XXXX's water level.

Individuals who remain within SCP-XXX's aphotic zone for an extended period of time2 report a loss of sensation and spatial disorientation, rendering resurfacing difficult. Shortly after the initiation of SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects, affected individuals will fall into a state similar to REM sleep. While in this state, affected individuals experience a drastic slowing of metabolic processes.

Subjects under the effects of SCP-XXXX have reported the occurrence of a single autobiographical dream. Dreams experienced under the effects of SCP-XXXX universally relate an event in the affected individual's past, but are anomalously viewed from an alternative perspective. Previous use of amnestics has no effect on the recollection of these events while under the effects of SCP-XXXX.
