**Item #:** SCP-XXXX
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber, 5m x 5m, at Site-██. The subject must be provided with a sleep cycle of no more than 8 hours per day, monitored via EEG and heart rate sensors. Any anomalies during the sleep period must be reported immediately to Site Command. Sleep deprivation is strictly prohibited as a means of experimentation or correction, as it has been shown to exacerbate the symptoms of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX is not to be allowed contact with any individuals who are not directly involved in the containment and study of the anomaly.
**Description:** SCP-XXXX refers to a condition affecting human subject Silvia Houle, henceforth referred to as SCP-XXXX-1. When SCP-XXXX-1 enters a state of REM sleep, it experiences a separate life with precisely the same inhabitation as this adherent reality. This other life represent a timeline in which she has not been contained by the Foundation, proposed to be her primary waking reality (designated as Life A), while the other is a completely separate existence occurring in a parallel universe or reality (designated as Life B).
Both lives operate concurrently and SCP-XXXX-1 retains full awareness of both, switching between them when waking and falling asleep. However, SCP-XXXX-1 has shown to retain information within Life A which it then proceeds to duplicate in the other reality. The timelines of Life A and Life B are unique and have diverged at some point in SCP-XXXX-1's past, but from SCP-XXXX-1's perspective, both timelines are supposedly authentic, with distinct memories, relationships and personalities in each.
# The passage of time in both Life A and Life B is perceived as linear by SCP-XXXX-1. When awake in Life A, SCP-XXXX-1 has no awareness of the events occurring in Life B, but upon entering REM sleep, the transition to Life B is seamless. Both timelines, while appearing to proceed at their own rates, maintain synchronized moments of sleep and wakefulness that correspond with each other.
# Upon waking from sleep, SCP-XXXX-1 experiences full retention of memories from both timelines, though the subject reports a persistent difficulty in reconciling the distinct personalities and events in each. This leads to occasional lapses in judgment, confusion, and disorientation when interacting with others in Life A. The conflict between memories from both lives often causes SCP-XXXX-1 to question their own identity, resulting in psychological distress.
# The nature of Life B is notably different from Life A. In Life B, SCP-XXXX-1 may encounter individuals, objects, or even locations that appear similar but are fundamentally altered, leading to situations where objects or people from Life A appear in Life B with varying degrees of divergence. This creates further confusion for SCP-XXXX-1, who reports experiences of deja vu, uncanny coincidences, and instances of "//repeating//" moments in both lives.
# Prolonged exposure to the phenomenon has led to cases of extreme dissociation, depression, and, in some instances, suicidal ideation. SCP-XXXX-1's inability to choose between timelines has created significant emotional turmoil, as the subject feels trapped in a dual existence. The subject has also expressed a desire to "merge" both lives into one cohesive reality, though this has proven impossible.
**Incident Log XXXX-A:**
During a routine sleep cycle, SCP-XXXX-1 exhibited signs of heightened anxiety and distress while in Life B. After a sequence of vivid dreams, SCP-XXXX-1 reported the experience of "shifting" between lives mid-sleep, experiencing what it described as an "intermediate state." This event resulted in a temporary period of amnesia, where SCP-XXXX-1 could not recall whether certain memories belonged to Life A or Life B.
Further investigation into the timeline structure of both lives revealed that both lives experienced significantly altered outcomes based on SCP-XXXX-1's decisions. However, attempts to allow SCP-XXXX-1 to control the course of events in either life have proven ineffective, as each timeline remains intrinsically fixed to a separate set of variables.
**Experiment Log XXXX-03:**
> **Experiment Type:** Sleep cycle alteration
> **Procedure:** SCP-XXXX-1 was subjected to a series of sleep-wake cycles of varying lengths to > determine the impact on memory overlap and mental health.
> **Results:** SCP-XXXX-1 exhibited extreme distress following two consecutive nights of > > > > > extended wakefulness (48 hours without sleep). Upon resuming a normal sleep cycle, SCP-XXXX-> 1 reported intense confusion and difficulty discerning between the timelines. Notably, SCP-XXXX-1 > experienced an episode of "hallucinations" where both Life A and Life B merged into a > > > > singular, nightmarish reality for a brief period.
> **Conclusion:** Sleep deprivation is not advisable as it worsens SCP-XXXX-1's psychological > > > state and may lead to unpredictable consequences.
**Addendum XXXX-B:** Research is ongoing to determine whether this phenomenon is a result of an anomalous psychological condition, an effect of a hidden memetic force, or a consequence of a multidimensional disturbance. It is unclear whether the phenomenon is replicable in other individuals, but further investigation into SCP-XXXX-1’s past and genetic history is underway.
The long-term effects of living two simultaneous lives are unknown, but psychological experts have noted that this type of existence may be deeply destabilizing. Further testing and monitoring are recommended to understand the full scope of SCP-XXXX's impact on human cognition and reality perception.
