=== Can't sleep after playing Minecraft? Please read! ===
This is my first time on Reddit, but I had to say something to get this off my chest.
My brother passed away almost five years ago, in a few days it'll be the anniversary of the day he died.
He died of lack of sleep, they couldn't exactly find the cause of him not sleeping but they said it was a tumor, my parents believed them.
But I knew it wasn't a tumor. So I guess I'll post the real cause of my brothers death.
No I didn't kill him or anything. We were close.
It happened five years ago, my brother bought this game called Minecraft, he bought it just after the combat update came out. I was only 10 and wanted to watch my big brother play the game because we didn't exactly have internet at the time so I couldn't watch Minecraft lets plays. 
He made a survival world, hard mode. I don't know if that influenced anything about the accident. My brother was a minecraft prodigy, he made a huge tower and got diamonds only a few days after playing it. 
And he got that far without ever getting a bed, turns out he didn't know that someone could sleep through the night, my father, who had his own world on that computer thought it was funny. 
So my brother made his first bed, and placed it on the top floor of his tower. Night rolled around in game so he went to sleep, as soon as he did that the world changed. It became more saturated and contrasted, the screen was moving similar to the nausea effect but weaker.
It was like a dream.
My brother wanted to explore this "Dream World" so he went down the tower since the tower didnt have any windows.
As he went down things got weird, I was the first one to notice, the block textures colours shifted slightly, being duller or more saturated, brighter or darker. Each blocks textures got more random and the nausea effect got stronger. 
As he went down the blocks got more distorted, blocks went out of place and at the bottom floor the textures were almost completely unrecognizable, like coloured TV static. When he got to the door in place of the window there was an eye and at the bottom of the screen there was a message.
<1nsomn1a> wake up
And my brother was back to his bed, the room being normal. It was around our bedtime so we went to bed.
Next time he played Minecraft he went mining a bit and went to sleep through the night. He woke up in the dream world again, except this time the things were worse from the start. As he went down the tower to explore the colours and block displacement was even worse than the last time. And sometimes blocks had eyes before they'd quickly close.
He managed to get to the bottom and open the door without waking up and outside was a colourful nightmare, blocks weren't where they should be, colours had no rhyme or reason. The eyes were still there closing as soon as one of us noticed them. He went to his animals in the barn and instead of faces there was a large eye and they were looking straight at us. When he looked at the hills around his base there was a figure on them, far away. As soon as he looked at it he got the same message from the same person and was back next to his bed in the overworld.
He decided he wasn't going to go to bed for a while after that, it was creepy. He found a village and made a new base inside the village. He followed a building tutorial to make it, it was relatively small compared to the other one but it looked nicer. He made a diamond chestplate and boots. He was actually getting ready to go to the nether. 
He went back to sleep again. He woke up in his new base, the same weird dreamlike effect in the area surrounding and inside his new base. The villagers, they were staring at him with their singular eyes. Still in the distance but closer than before was that same figure.
<1nsomn1a> listen to me
The figure stared at my brother's player before he woke up. We took a break for a bit to discuss what it meant and he went to bed, at least thats what I thought. The next day he told me it took nearly an hour to fall asleep.
