Description: FOC-076 is an antique music box, approximately 20 cm in height, featuring intricate craftsmanship and ornate decorations. When wound and activated, FOC-076 emits a hauntingly beautiful lullaby that has a mesmerizing effect on those who listen. Individuals who hear the lullaby fall into a deep, dreamless sleep and awaken within a shared dreamscape.

Initially, the dreamscape appears as an idyllic and tranquil environment, often resembling a picturesque landscape or a cozy home. Dreamers can explore the dreamscape and interact with its elements. However, as they delve deeper and interact with the environment, darker and unsettling aspects of the dreamscape begin to emerge. These aspects can take the form of eerie landscapes, distorted figures, and unsettling occurrences.

Despite the unsettling nature of the dreamscape, FOC-076's effects are entirely contained within the dreamer's perception. Physical harm is not inflicted upon the dreamers' real-world bodies. The dreamscape's transformation serves as an opportunity for psychological exploration and analysis, providing insights into the subconscious fears and anxieties of the dreamers.

FOC-076 was recovered from an estate sale and was initially considered a mundane item. However, reports of shared dreamscape experiences led to its reclassification as an anomaly.

Research on FOC-076 is ongoing to better understand its origin, the mechanics of the dreamscape, and the psychological impact it may have on individuals who experience it.
