SCP - 8044: The Dream Snatcher Necklace
Item #: SCP 0844
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP 8044 is to be kept in a standard containment locker at Site-██. The locker is to be secured with biometric locks accessible only by Level 4 personnel. Direct handling of the object is prohibited without express permission from at least two Level 4 personnel. Any personnel assigned to SCP 8044 research or containment must undergo mandatory psychological evaluation before and after exposure.
Personnel who come into contact with SCP 8044 are to be monitored for signs of sleep deprivation and must report any unusual dreams immediately. Affected individuals are to be administered Class-C amnestics and provided with immediate medical care to counteract sleep deprivation.
Description:
SCP 8044 is a necklace with a pendant measuring approximately four inches in length. The pendant is dated to the Song dynasty and appears to be made of human bone. The necklace was recovered from an archaeological dig in [REDACTED], China, in 19██.
Upon acquiring SCP 8044, individuals begin experiencing nightly visits from a wraith-like entity designated SCP 8044-1, also known as "The Dream Snatcher." SCP 8044-1 appears only in the victim's dreams, manifesting as a shadowy figure with long, claw-like fingers and a thin, twisted build. During these dreams, SCP 8044-1 engages the victim in a relentless pursuit, preventing them from achieving restful sleep.
Victims of SCP 8044-1 report increasing difficulty in falling asleep, and when they do, their sleep is disturbed by the presence of the entity. Prolonged exposure to SCP 8044-1 results in severe sleep deprivation, which if untreated, leads to physical and mental deterioration and eventually death.
Addendum:
Incident Report 8044-A:
On [DATE REDACTED], Dr. ████, who had been studying SCP 8044, failed to report for duty. Upon investigation, it was discovered that Dr. ████ had not slept for several days and was found in a catatonic state in his quarters. Despite immediate medical intervention, Dr. ████ succumbed to severe exhaustion. His last recorded statements indicated repeated encounters with SCP 8044-1 in his dreams.
Research Notes:
Research into SCP 8044 is ongoing, with particular focus on understanding the nature and origin of SCP 8044-1. Hypnosis and dream analysis have been proposed as methods to explore the interaction between SCP 8044 and the affected individuals. Preliminary findings suggest a possible link to ancient Chinese funerary practices, though further investigation is required.
Conclusion:
SCP 8044 poses a significant threat due to its psychological impact and potential lethality through induced sleep deprivation. Continued research and strict containment protocols are essential to mitigate its effects and protect personnel.
