When I stare at the ground over the course of a few seconds everything starts to get brighter. I’ve tried to look this up before but had no luck or found something that just didn’t work.

I have recorded an example of this to view it click here:

Hi!

It’s autoexposure!  
You can turn if off in postprocess! Just set both min and max to the same number (1) and it’s gone! 😉

Where will I find post processing? The only post-processing I can find in the project settings only has two settings that have nothing to do with what you said. How do I edit the value you were talking about?

Sorry!  
In your World Outliner panel, among your other items there is a PostProcessVolume.  
There search for Lens and Exposure and you will see the settings! 🙂

Sorry if I’m just blind but I don’t see it.

I’m sorry I should’ve attached a screenshot before! :S  
It’s strange you don’t have one but grab one in:

…and then

You should also set it to Unbound (or resize it where you want it to turn off):
