OTF Beta-1 ("White Lotus") is to subconsciously influence key members of various meatspace telecommunication agencies towards phasing out landline and payphone services. [[[Oneiroi | Oneiroi West]]] will be provided covert aid in repairing damage caused by SCP-1498-Δ.

Corporeal containment of the anomaly is to remain under the jurisdiction of SCPF Site-77.

In the event that [[span class="hazard"]][ONEIROHAZARD EXPUNGED][[/span]] occurs within a Foundation Collective facility, attendant personnel must detonate its ergo-nuclear failsafe immediately.

Travel to and from SCP-1498-Ω is currently prohibited by order of the O5 Convocation.

SCP-1498 is the shared designation for --30-- 31 ambulatory sets of corporeal phones & cords that have each been assembled to look like sheep. Text has been printed on the underside of each instance's head: 

[[div class="blockquote"]]
[[=]]
**☎ DIAL-A-DREAM ☎**

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE BELL TELEPHONE COLLECTIVE

YOUR PERFECT DREAM IS ONLY A PHONE AWAY!
[[/=]]
[[/div]]

SCP-1498 appears to host a collective consciousness (SCP-1498-Ω), which continually propagates a set of recurrent elements (SCP-1498-Δ) across the dreams of all corporeal landline users. All attempts to either contain SCP-1498-Ω or excise SCP-1498-Δ have thus far failed.

SCP-1498-Ω is primarily known as the Bell Telephone Collective. Within oneiric space, it is located in the western region of the Greater Oort Supercluster, twenty miliscreams north of [[[xiupania | Xiu Pan]]] and six leagues widdershins of [[[scp-4497 | Flavor Town]]]. From the outside, SCP-1498-Ω possesses the appearance of a chartreuse tesseract large enough to hold 2-3 Wisconsins. Its interior’s appearance is largely unknown, as individuals that enter SCP-1498-Ω are rarely given opportunity to depart.

[[include component:image-block
| name=spiraldial.png
| caption=SCP-1498-Δ in action.
| width=300px
| align=right]]

SCP-1498-Δ primarily manifests as a corded phone in an incongruous location (under the sink, inside an active volcano, orbiting Jupiter, etc.) that rings until it is physically interacted with. In the event that a dreamer picks up a 1498-Δ handset, they will be connected to an operator for a dream augmentation service. After discussing the various changes the subject would like to see done, the phone will play a series of tones that [[span class="hazard"]][ONEIROHAZARD EXPUNGED][[/span]], forcing the surrounding dream to restart with the requested alterations in place.

As callers cannot remember the original iteration of their dream after experiencing [[span class="hazard"]][ONEIROHAZARD EXPUNGED][[/span]], SCP-1498-Δ has been deemed a negligible risk to the Waking Veil. However, SCP-1498-Δ's extensive use of sound-based neural exploits[[footnote]]Colloquially known to Oneiroi as "mindphreaking."[[/footnote]] has caused significant structural and emotional damage to portions of Oneiroi West's infrastructure.

Other consistently observed SCP-1498-Δ elements include, but are not limited to:

* Ringing
* Rapid key movement
* Dead air
* The sensation of tangling
* Vertigo
* Long-distance fees
* "I want to see you."

**Addendum 1498.1**
Correlated Phenomena
[[/div]]

[[div class="modal"]]

**Date:** August 4th, 1922

**Sphere:** Oneiric

**Description:** Alexander Graham Bell's family experiences the same dream following his burial at Beinn Bhreagh.[[footnote]]**Beinn Bhreagh:** Bell's estate.[[/footnote]] Each reports peering through a window of Beinn Bhreagh Hall and seeing Bell converse with an unidentified figure. Upon entering the hall, both are gone; in their place, a [[[activity-documentation-file-11-a | large oak tree]]] festooned with coiled cords has grown from the floor. They are awoken by the sound of a phone ringing.

[[div class="modal"]]

**Date:** August 5th, 1923

**Description:** First known instance of oneirospheric disruption caused by SCP-1498-Δ-derived mindphreaking. Multiple telephone poles rapidly sprout from the floor of Bite Outta Crime, an Oneiroi West gastrotheque and recreational felony parlour.

**Foreword:** The following is an interview held between Agent Frond and an unidentified member of SCP-1498-Ω (designated Oneiroi of Interest 1498-03). Ocular footage was recorded and transmitted by the surveillance parasite implanted in Agent Frond's shadow.[[footnote]]**Shadow:** A corporeal dreamer's oneiric avatar.[[/footnote]]

//<Agent Frond stands in a well-lit phone booth. It is night. She picks up the handset, slips two Oneirian Laguz into the currency slot, then enters █-███-███-████ into the keypad. The phone rings twice before picking up to dead air.>//

**Agent Frond:** ...Hello? Is this the Bell Telephone Collective? I was told this number was--

**OoI-1498-03:** Hello? Yes, this is the. //<Bell chime.>// Collective. To you! Am I speaking?

**Agent Frond:** My name is Agent Frond, I'm a member of a dream regulation organization. Do you have a moment to answer some questions about your communal consciousness?

**OoI-1498-03:** You? Can call me. About? Anything!

**Agent Frond:** Thank you for your cooperation. Firstly, I'd like to ask why your collective has continued to--

**OoI-1498-03:** [DATA EXPUNGED]

**Agent Frond:** I see. And do you have any intention of stopping?

**OoI-1498-03:** No? No. We will not! Cease. Operations? Our operators are. Toll-free! Twenty-four hours! In service!

**Agent Frond:** Can you tell me why you operate the way you do?

**OoI-1498-03:** Sound is. Strange. Voice is. Strange?

**Agent Frond:** Strange in what way?

**OoI-1498-03:** Speech is. Meaning? Inside of. Language! Inside of. Waves? 
Pieces are. Bound. To? Get lost! In transit. Miscommunication. Inevitable?

**Agent Frond:** I don't understand. Can you elaborate?

**OoI-1498-03:** Have you! Heard. Machines? Dream of. Electric! Sheep. But that's not. Correctamundo! No. No? It's the. Electric! Sound. That dreams? Of.

**Agent Frond:** ...Of what?

**Postscript:** After her interview with OoI-1498-03, Agent Frond's corporeal body could not be roused from REM sleep, transforming into an SCP-1498 instance over the course of the following 72 hours. All attempts to communicate with Agent Frond have failed and her shadow has been declared lost.
