One example of harassment images sent to Mr. A███ - a message "Cats eat beetles too!" accompanies the image.
Item #: SCP-1936-JP
Object Class: Safe Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: Currently, no new activity of SCP-1936-JP has been detected.
In order to prevent the reoccurrence of SCP-1936-JP, all major Internet services are to be monitored with dedicated web crawlers. If any document or literature introducing processes that closely resemble A-Style Sleep Method is detected, these informational materials are to be deleted immediately, and the person who posted them is to be identified. Following that, the poster is to be temporarily detained and released after amnesticization and information manipulation.
Description: SCP-1936-JP is a generic designation for various acts of harassment against A████ A███ on the Internet, including cyberstalking and sending defamatory messages and images of unknown intent.
The majority of SCP-1936-JP consists of abusive and condemnatory content against Mr. A███ without stating reasons, as well as threats demanding him to withdraw the proposed meditation-based sleep health method he invented and had advocated (hereinafter referred to as "A-Style Sleep Method") and to destroy all related publications and materials. Nearly all images sent to him have been confirmed to be copied and modified without permission from within major Internet servers, and no anomalous properties have been found in the images themselves.
A number of the account names used for SCP-1936-JP actions commonly contain the string "OnWe" or "@collectivist". However, it has been discovered that most of these activities were conducted from Internet-enabled but no longer used devices; the users of the accounts have not been successfully identified.
The following are several examples of messages sent to Mr. A███'s social networking account.

I wish I could tear up that damned book and throw it on a grill at once! Then our continuity will be imperishable!

Do you even know what you're doing? How dare you leave those bitter mandibles around! Do you really think that people who like cold medicine (no matter how beneficial it is!) actually exist?

Stop it already! You have no idea how many isolated areas you've caused! I can't pay the overdue bill for the videos I rented during the Roman era, and they're even interfering with my long-distance relationship with my flowerpot girlfriend!

SCP-1936-JP started to occur since 20██, when a book introducing A-Style Sleep Method was published and related information became available on the Internet. It has been proven through verification that A-Style Sleep Method itself does not have any anomalous properties, nor is it effective in inducing a restful sleep, and its relevance to the cause and origin of SCP-1936-JP has not yet been determined.
Frequent inclusion of the word "Oneiroi" in harassing messages also drew attention of the Foundation. However, the investigations conducted by Mobile Task Force Omicron-Rho ("The Dream Team") failed to find traces of the involvement of Oneiroi Collective, a known Group-of-Interest, and completely ruled out any connection to them.
Mr. A███ was amnesticized, and all materials and information related to A-Style Sleep Method were erased from the Internet and written documents. No new activity of SCP-1936-JP has been detected since then. As such, SCP-1936-JP is presumed to be neutralized and has been reclassified to its current Object Class.
Addendum: The following is an excerpt from an interview with Mr. A███.
Subject: A████ A███ (Male, 34 years old, therapist)
Interviewer: Agent Makimura
Note: The interviewer posed as an IT lawyer to conduct the interview.
<Begin Log>
[Extraneous conversation omitted]
Subject: It's reassuring to hear you say that. You know, I had asked several experts to help me, but none of them succeeded in identifying the harassing people. I was troubled.
Interviewer: So, when did the harassment start?
Subject: Probably about a week after the release of my book on sleep health techniques. Just so you know I didn't write anything problematic or that would make people resent me.
Interviewer: I've read through it, but would you explain the content in general to me once again?
Subject: To put it simply, it's about how to have good dreams, how to avoid nightmares, and other sleep health tips that you can easily find on the Internet. I put a phrase at the beginning of the book - cliché as it may sound - "Cut off the stress from society and have a healthy sleep." Of course, its effectiveness is guaranteed.
Interviewer: Hmm, by the way, what is this character in the illustrations?
Subject: Oh, it's a stag beetle. I asked a friend to draw it for me based on the opening phrase, "Cut off the stress." Well, in retrospect it was a very cheap reason.
Interviewer: No, not at all. Now, if you don't mind, I would like to know how you established this sleeping method for reference.
Subject: I combined existing sleep methods and meditation therapies, based on data from empirical evidence and clinical studies. Ah, though I did have some help from a few people during the early "incorrect method" clinical trials.
Interviewer: I see. How well does this sleep method work?
Subject: Oh, you know. You can tell what it's like by the claims such as sleeping better, waking up feeling refreshed, and emptying your mind to sleep alone in a quiet space. I'm not sure if I'd say this, but it's really just a generic effect and content like that.
[Smartphone vibrating sound]
Subject: Excuse me - Ah, it's just another harassing email. "Don't disturb my connection to Oneiroi Network"? What the hell. I have to say, anybody who harasses people online always has no sense of context, no idea what they're saying. These are all just childish and idiotic in themselves, but it's a little hard when the harassment goes on for so long.
Interviewer: Excuse me, don't you use the mute and block function for unwanted mails and messages?
Subject: No, I do use it; some of them just slip through it and come to me. Also, I looked up this word "Oneiroi" since I see it a lot, and it seems to be a Greek god. You aren't telling me that I'm being targeted by some weird cult, are you?
Interviewer: Our team of experts will take care of this matter as well.
Subject: Yeah, I'd really appreciate it.

Extracted abstract image of SCP-1936-JP-β
Item #: SCP-1936-JP
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Currently, SCP-1936-JP is handled only by Foundation Collective research teams. In order to prevent the reemergence of SCP-1936-JP-α/-β in the civilian subconscious, wide-range scans of major Oneiroi Networks and crawlers are to be periodically performed by reconnaissance sleepers and observation sleepers.
Description: In dreams, SCP-1936-JP is categorized into the following two elements.
SCP-1936-JP-α is a sleep-health method invented in reality by A████ A███, which brings anomalous effects into the performer's subconscious. When performed shortly before sleep, it generates SCP-1936-JP-β instances in the host's subconscious through an unidentified process.
SCP-1936-JP-β is an anomalous dream entity/non-conscious existence composed of dream elements, with an appearance described as "bitterly crooked shadow of a stag beetle". It spends most of its active time severing connections between subconscious areas. While SCP-1936-JP-beta instances are generally not hostile or aggressive, attempts to interfere with their activities can provoke violent reactions that may result in the separation or corruption of corporeal Oneiroi.
Normally, most Oneiroi are capable of traveling between human subconscious regions that are in close proximity to each other; however, SCP-1936-JP-β instances disrupt Oneiroi Networks and isolate the host's subconscious by forcibly disconnecting the interconnection between subconscious areas as described above. This action eventually leads to the complete isolation of the host, as well as all Oneiroi who have stayed within their subconscious.
The existence and origin of SCP-1936-JP-β has already been made known by major collectives such as Oneiroi West, and its danger has been recognized as a Fabre-class nightmare collective. This resulted in a number of radical and disorganized collectivists harassing Mr. A███ in reality.
The following is a news article about SCP-1936-JP, as reported within Oneiroi West.
World News
Isolated Areas Galore
Due to activities of a nightmare collective, multiple subconscious have been severed from the network and are still in isolation. There is no prospect of restoration yet.
The sudden network disconnection caused by "crooked stag beetles" has become a symbol of fear and anger for many Oneiroi. At this point, structuralists have determined that there are at least 1,000 subconscious that are isolated from normal networks.
While many are concerned for the safety of the Oneiroi/Shadows stranded in these isolated areas, nobody has successfully communicated or transmitted information to them yet.
Instead, several extreme collectivists have been engaged in blatant harassment of a certain person who is rumored to be the originator of a technique for generating this nightmare collective. As a result, the sleep method in question has drawn even more attention from many hosts in reality, and Oneiroi West is calling for people to refrain from harassment.
As of now, the operations performed by the Foundation in reality (the amnesticization of Mr. A███ and the erasure of all SCP-1936-JP-α related information) have managed to quell/remove all SCP-1936-JP-β instances. However, the investigation within Mr. A███'s subconscious, which was reconnected after the removal of SCP-1936-JP-β instances, was not successful due to the destruction and defacement by the influx of radical Oneiroi groups.
Addendum: Currently, the properties of SCP-1936-JP-α/-β are being utilized by Foundation Collective research teams to develop new technologies. Its primary purpose of use is to establish a means of isolating anomalies/eldritches in dreams, and it is expected to be available for practical use within 10 solar years. Until the research is completed, several information is to be withheld from the SCP-1936-JP document in the real-world Foundation database.
The proposal from Oneiroi Collective to provide the said technology and establish a technical partnership is still under consideration.
