SCP-5999 – "Sleepless Dreams"
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-5999-A is stored in a standard containment locker at Site-19. Personnel experiencing severe sleep deprivation may request temporary use with Level-3 approval.
SCP-5999-B is stored in an isolated containment cell. Testing requires written approval from at least two Level-4 researchers. Any personnel exposed to SCP-5999-B must undergo psychological evaluation and monitoring for symptoms related to parasomnia, hydrophobia, or auditory hallucinations.
Given SCP-5999’s suspected connection to SCP-3008, Foundation field agents embedded in IKEA warehouses worldwide are instructed to report any sightings of similar objects. Exploration teams assigned to SCP-3008 are advised to document and retrieve any additional instances.
Description:
SCP-5999 is a series of anomalous hotel pillows, two of which—SCP-5999-A and SCP-5999-B—are currently in Foundation custody. Both objects possess a small fabric label embroidered with an IKEA logo, despite no official record of such a product in IKEA’s catalog. This suggests SCP-5999 instances may originate from SCP-3008, the anomalous IKEA megastructure.
SCP-5999-A and SCP-5999-B were discovered inside an abandoned hotel room in ███████, Sweden. One pillow was found neatly placed on each of the twin beds. No personal belongings were present, though a single handwritten note was recovered:
"I never sleep anymore. I never wake up tired. I never dream."
The room's reservation records list a check-in date, but no check-out. The listed guests remain missing.
SCP-5999-A – "The Dreamer’s Pillow"
Object Class: Safe
SCP-5999-A is a dark gray hotel pillow that remains at a constant temperature of 15°C (59°F), which test subjects describe as "perfectly cool" for sleep. The exact source of SCP-5999-A's anomalous effects remains unclear; researchers are unsure whether it is the pillow itself or the fabric cover enveloping it that induces these properties.
When an individual rests their head on SCP-5999-A, they will immediately lose consciousness and enter a deep, dreamless sleep. Regardless of their previous level of fatigue, subjects awaken exactly eight minutes later, reporting the sensation of a full eight-hour sleep cycle.
Subjects display enhanced cognitive function, improved mood, and heightened alertness after use. Long-term testing indicates no adverse effects from repeated exposure.
Notable Effects:
Induces immediate, restful sleep.
Eliminates all forms of dreams and nightmares.
Compresses eight hours of sleep into eight minutes.
No disruption to biological circadian rhythms.
Users report increased mental clarity, reduced stress, and mild euphoria upon awakening.

SCP-5999-B – "The Nightmare Pillow"
Object Class: Euclid
SCP-5999-B is a light gray hotel pillow that remains at a constant temperature of 25°C (77°F), which test subjects describe as "uncomfortably warm." When an individual rests their head on SCP-5999-B, they immediately fall asleep, but instead of experiencing restful slumber, they are subjected to vivid, horrifying nightmares. These dreams are extremely vivid and realistic, often revolving around dark, waterlogged landscapes.
A common motif within the nightmares involves bodies floating in water. Individuals report hearing a recurring whisper that says:
"You do not recognize the bodies in the water."
These dreams are incredibly distressing and often involve feelings of dread, suffocation, and overwhelming fear. Over time, prolonged exposure to SCP-5999-B has been shown to induce a lasting fear of water and intense feelings of claustrophobia.
Notable Effects:
Induces immediate, disturbed sleep filled with horrific nightmares.
Causes negative disruption to biological sleep cycles, leading to physical and mental fatigue upon awakening.
Drastically increases anxiety, fear of water, and in some cases, vivid hallucinations after repeated exposure.
Prolonged use can lead to a condition known as “Nocturnal Hydroptosis,” in which individuals feel as though they are constantly drowning or near water.
Connection to SCP-3008 (The Infinite IKEA):
SCP-5999-B has been linked to SCP-3008, the anomalous IKEA megastructure. The pillow’s IKEA brand label is identical to those found in SCP-3008, and there are indications that SCP-5999-B, like other anomalous objects within SCP-3008, may exist in greater numbers within the endless aisles of the IKEA store.
An inscription found on SCP-5999-B’s tag reads:
"IKEA-SOMNIG // Model: 3008-Δ"
This has led researchers to hypothesize that SCP-5999 instances may be produced within or by the SCP-3008 anomaly, though exploration of SCP-3008 is ongoing. Any further investigation into this potential link remains classified and requires additional exploration into SCP-3008.

Addendum 5999-A-1: Discovery and Incident Report
SCP-5999-A and SCP-5999-B were discovered in a remote hotel in ███████, Sweden. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the hotel had been abandoned for over 10 years. The reservation records indicated an uncompleted booking, but there were no guests found in the area. A single handwritten note was recovered in the room, stating:
"I never sleep anymore. I never wake up tired. I never dream."
The exact circumstances surrounding the previous occupants’ disappearance remain unclear. Despite several attempts to trace the origin of the hotel, the structure has reportedly vanished from all local maps.
Addendum 5999-B-2: Testing and Field Report
Testing with SCP-5999-A and SCP-5999-B has shown that while SCP-5999-A produces no harmful long-term effects, repeated exposure to SCP-5999-B can cause severe psychological damage, including auditory and visual hallucinations, with some individuals reporting that they have been unable to differentiate between waking life and the nightmares they experienced.
Research is ongoing into the precise nature of the connection between SCP-5999 and SCP-3008, and additional exploration teams have been dispatched to investigate potential links to IKEA’s anomalous supply chains.

Conclusion:
SCP-5999, with its two distinct instances (SCP-5999-A and SCP-5999-B), provides a stark contrast in sleep experiences, one offering restorative, peaceful slumber, while the other induces psychological terror and lasting fears. The objects’ anomalous properties continue to fascinate and alarm researchers, especially with the emerging connection to SCP-3008. Further study is needed to understand the true nature of these pillows and the potential for more objects in the SCP-3008 anomaly.
