Item Class #: SCP-4964

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment procedures SCP-4964 is the be contained in a 3m x 3m x 3m chamber with a single one-way mirror, fortified metal door, and three hidden security cameras. No personnel are allowed to enter the containment chamber unless permitted by a level 4 or above researcher with two or more security officers present. No more than one subject can be tested at once. If subjects affected by SCP-4964 attempt to break free from the containment chamber, the security officers are to taser the subject until the subject is incapacitated. More security officers to protect the researchers must then be arranged. After the subject wakes, they are to be monitored heavily until the subject is fully recovered or removed from the premises.

Description SCP-4964 is a 1m by 1m cotton blanket able to make a subject wrapped in SCP-4964 instantaneously fall asleep the fourth stage of sleep known as REM, the stage in which dreaming occurs. In the dream-state subjects are a form of deity that can accomplish any task, can form something out of nothing, and are not able to be harmed or damaged. When those affected by SCP-4964 wake, they are often in a constant state of discomfort, believing the delusion of being a deity similar to the dream-states described by recovered subjects, and after attempts to question and subdue, many respond violently. Subjects have been observed sometimes quietly whispering to themselves. The longer the span of the dream the more violent and aggressive they become. Subjects often experience temporary unnatural strength, with one of the most severe cases being able to forcibly break through the containment chamber. All subjects experience severe long-term mental and emotional trauma, and few are able to recover. Those who were able to recover stated that the REM sleep caused by SCP-4964 felt like a life time. The duration of REM sleep varies: the shortest was recorded at 3 seconds while the longest REM sleep was [DATA REDACTED]. Subjects affected by SCP-4964 can dully remember anything in their past life and only remember the dream world that they had lived in.

Addendum #4964-1: The following is the discovery of SCP-4964
██████ found and used SCP-4964 on ██/██/████, falling asleep for 33 days. During day thirty-two someone found him sleeping on the ground outside. They returned to check on him the following day, and discovered that he had just awoken. When the civilian asked him how he was doing, ██████ responded hostilly, as if he were insulted, and when the civilian responded negatively, he was met with violence. ██████ was shot and killed after breaking the civilians collarbone, femur, and right arm. This event caused SCP-4964 to be brought to the attention of the SCP Foundation, and tests began within [REDACTED].=

Addendum #4964-2: The following is test #1
A Class-D subject is brought to the containment chamber of SCP-4964 and wraps himself in SCP-4964. D-7428 falls asleep for [DATA REDACTED], and once D-7428 awoke, and questioning began, he began to yell about being a god and deity, shouting that his current treatment was atrocious and unjust. D-7428 would not answer any of the further questions asked. D-7428 was tasered and incapacitated after an attemptto harm the researcher.

Addendum #4964-3 The following is test #2
Another Class-D is brought to the containment chamber of SCP-4964 and wraps himself in the SCP-4964, falling asleep immediately for [DATA REDACTED]. Once awake, the Class-D was much quieter than the previous test subject. The subject was questioned repeatedly, but remained silent for a period of three weeks.

Researcher After the encounter with SCP-4964, D-9803, do you feel any different? Did you experience any kind of noticable change?
D-9803 Of course I experienced change. I am not even in the right body! I am in a different time, a time where I don't belong.
Researcher What exactly do you mean by that.
D-9803 I was in a world where I could do anything, and now I am in a chamber, and I don't even have a proper name! In the world I lived in I was praised, and rightly so. Who are you to talk to me this way?
Researcher How long do you suppose you were in that "time."
D-9803 My whole life, of course, but there are a few glimpses of a different life.
Researcher You don't know anything about where you are right now or why you are here?
D-9083 I can recall a little bit, but not much.
Researcher Interesting
