Level -382

Level -382, also known as "Mittelgoria", is the 383rd negative level of the Backrooms.
==Description==
A picture of a dreamlike forest taken by the Azeutians.
Level -382 consists of surreal, dreamlike biomes that resemble the landscapes of baseline reality. The level is very diverse, and the appearance of each biome also changes in small detail from time to time which would slightly appeal to the wanderer's sense of familiarity, similar to a dream. At times, it can shift in detail overall to accommodate and evoke nostalgia of several wanderers, while at other times, details may shift for each wanderer specifically, resulting in wanderers seeing their surroundings slightly differently. Despite this, each of the biomes always retains its overall appearance, landscape, and safety. This allows the calligraphers to record several known biomes, despite constant changes in slight detail. 
Much of the level is mostly unexplored and the level is unknown amongst most wanderers. The level is reclusive, having only one exit, and a handful of obscure entrances. Due to this, it is unknown how far the level extends, with some theorizing that it goes on forever, while others believe that the area constantly changing. The only group that permanently resides in the level, however, gives a rough estimate of 25000 square kilometers of space. The group, nicknamed the Azeutians, also calls this level "Mittelgoria" and it serves as their central base of operations. 
Some wanderers have reported feeling anxiety and paranoia instead of nostalgia and familiarity. Minor shifts in detail can also disorient some wanderers. Wanderers are also prone to passing out while details of their surroundings change, waking up several minutes later, while this is not hazardous, it still poses danger when wanderers are near rivers or cliffs, as there have been reports of wanderers drowning and falling to their deaths during blackouts.
==Discovered biomes ==
<tabber>
Biome 1 =
===Description===
Photographer alive (an Azeutian)
Biome 1 consists of surreal forests, specifically a mix of boreal and temperate forests, with moderate temperatures and an abundance of lakes that, like other biomes, evoke a sense of familiarity. If the wanderer does not have any past connections with forests, the biome would still evoke a sense of peacefulness and surrealism. This biome is home to many Azeutians, due to having a diverse food source from plants and water from the lakes, the only danger is having a blackout near lakes or ledges during shifts, with the possibility of drowning or injuring a wanderer. The biome is also home to several abnormal plant species. These plants produce a variety of fruits at a much faster rate compared to any normal plant from baseline reality. Water from lakes is also drinkable but contains unidentified elements. Wanderers may feel nauseous drinking the water for the first few days.

Biome 2 =
===Description ===
Photographer presumed dead
Biome 2 is a collection of natural underground tunnels and cave systems that interconnect together under all of the other biomes. The cave system comprises many layers and gives off an anomalous glow just enough to illuminate the passage for wanderers. One can access these tunnels by entering a cave or a hole from any biome above, although wanderers have been reported falling to their deaths. Thus, it is unknown how steep the cave or the hole could be. Time also seems to travel slower in this biome, wanderers could be wandering the cave for hours, only exiting and realizing minutes, while space also bends, making wanderers only traverse the underground for a short distance to exit into a whole new biome. Wanderers are easily lost in this biome, so it is advised to not traverse this biome unless necessary.

Biome 3 =
===Description===
Photographer unknown (Possibly The Cameraman)
Biome 3 is a desert biome trapped in eternal midnight, as the sky slowly fades to black when entering this biome, and fades to a normal day and night cycle when exiting. The constellations of the night sky are always clear and unique, the patterns more intricate and never seen in reality. Furthermore, the Moon is strangely oversized, with an estimated ratio size of 61.5/38.0 compared to the Moon of reality. The Azeutians have mastered navigating through this biome by marking the constellations. Oasis can be found in the desert, but are incredibly rare. Mirages also appear and are described to be psychological hazards that are much more extreme than the mirages experienced in baseline reality. The temperature has also been described as unbearable by wanderers, but without proper testing and exploration of all areas, it is unknown how high the temperature truly is, with estimated reports ranging from 30 to 50 degrees Celsius.

Biome 4 =
===Description===
Photographer unknown
Biome 4 is an ocean-like biome filled with almond water. Unlike lakes or rivers in level -382, large bodies of water such as seas and oceans are composed of almond water. Much is unknown about this biome, but it usually appears on the edges of biome 3, with a beach connecting both biomes. The beach also serves as a night-to-day transition, since this biome always seems to be in the afternoon. There are no storms in this biome, and the weather is always temperate, unlike the oceans of baseline reality. The Azeutians do occasionally collect almond water. However, the Azeutians do not focus on expansion, and due to the level's reclusive nature, there has not been widespread trade. What is under the ocean is unknown, since almond water is too murky and is too deep for any technology to reach the bottom. Biome 4 is the only biome that the Biome 2 cannot access.

==Entities==
There are no known entities in the level; however, the Azeutians have reported hearing scratches or other sounds in the distance. It is unknown whether entities are present, or that it is a psychological effect of the level. Regardless, it does not seem to pose any threat to the wanderers. Shapelings have appeared in the dreams of wanderers, although not as common as the entity discussed below:
The collective database
The occurrence of similar nightmares reported by the Azeutians and a small handful of wanderers on this level is unsettling. A nightmarish, tempest-like entity is constantly in the dreams of wanderers. Victims described the entity as a titanic hurricane humanoid, and nicknamed the entity "The Storm." While it is possible to have a dream without encountering such an entity, many wanderers staying on the level for more than a week had dreams that ended in the storm corrupting it into a nightmare. Wanderers describe waking up just as the entity is about to envelop them entirely. 
This thing... It seems to watch me in my sleep. It is ever present.
-M.E.G. Explorer
There has also been a recent report of a wanderer dying during their sleep. While the incident was dismissed as heart failure, some believe it is the doing of The Storm. A few wanderers have reported seeing the storm while passing out, while some wanderers heard abnormal sounds. It speculated that The Storm resides on a different plane of existence in level -387; a dreamscape that restricts the entity's actions. Despite all this, the entity does not seem to be a threat to daily life, and some even believe the entity is nothing more than an anomalous effect.
==Entrances and Exits ==
===Entrance ===
* Entering from Level -381.
* Random no-clippage after passing through the first hundred negative levels.
===Exit ===
* One can only exit the level when they truly found peace. After that, wanderers can leave at will, as a boat will appear when and will take wanderers to any level with a water source.
