My dreams seem to be undergoing FL: Feedback Loops.

the dream starts off lucidly, but with no control over what to wear, surrounded by people usually at the top of some corporate latter and me becoming some mythic species like a Zora from Twilight Princess, An red furred imp giving someone coffee, or even as myself.

The dream transitions, somewhere in the beginning middle of the dream is always a cache of tactical weapons and ammo, and a hostile but beautiful enviroment that I can come back to and explore later if I wake up. Usually resulting in me delving into some ruins.

My dream then transitions to me, with an ally, breaking into an area with an obvious breach of security, like a warehouse that has slow moving spotlights, but has within one of its walls a staircase leading up and down I can peak out of, and if I get caught suddenly a fear of legality pops into my mind and the panic sends me looking for some server room towards the topmost offices to destroy which I never can get into... Only to be grabbed by a guard, rescued, run away and the next transition happens...

The middle of my dream is always some sort of "wet dream" segment, where I feel bereft and powerless as something swallows me up, then "awaking" into the next remaining segments of my dream. Driving around a city, killing evil entities, or beautiful city scapes such as my dreams haven Scala Ad Caelum are commonplace segments before waking up.

Though every dream is somewhat different, people in those dreams remember what I did, if I helped or if I attacked them, and they like to pay this kindness (or unkindness) back in full.

Scala Ad Caelum acts as the sanctum in my dreams, a place where the sun always shines, and is 13 cities connected by the 13th one being in the middle, placed upon the ruins of an town called Scala Ad Infernum, the town is stopped from sinking by using Infernum as essentially... a manmade glacier, yet thanks to the areas overall mass never seems to move or deviate despite being in the middle of the ocean: It is a place that feels like an absolute sanctuary, but at the same time: a place that is also lonely. I feel somber as a cool breeze glides across me in this area of my dreams... I close my eyes, a smile on my face...

And then... I wake up....
