DTNS, or Dormant Traumatic Nightmare Syndrome, is a rare strange phenomenon where people wake up in the middle of the night, haunted by strange noises. On certain occasions, multiple people sleeping in the same room will experience the trauma at the same time. However, if someone does experience this, they can fall back asleep by returning to where they were sleeping with something soft and blue in their hands and closing their eyes. If there were multiple people in the same room, they must perform this process together and finish by saying "We are not afraid" simultaneously. It is unknown why or how this solution works.
