Description
This image was taken via a wanderer, who dreamed of fishing with his father like he used to.
It is frequently debated whether Level -0.7 is a sub-level, a level in and of itself, or an entity of the Backrooms altogether; however, for the sake of convenience, the M.E.G. has requested that it be denoted as a sub-level. This level resembles something, or somewhere, similar to something you've seen in your dreams. You feel some sort of comfort when your in this level, and the level always replenishes you of needed nutrients, supplies, etc. Level -0.7 has no harmful entities, just scary ones that are meant to fright you. The level has a calming, simple melody playing on repeat. Level -0.7 is considered an extremely safe level among wanderers who have explored it. A redditor with the name of u/InLevel-0 has published a video, along with some images, presumably from his dream.
Level -0.7 has a mind of it's own, and it's said to like to be called "Yume" which may be roughly translated to "Dream". The level has a slightly feminine voice, although it prefers to be refereed to using they/them or it/its. The level sometimes may covers their nose. The figure's face is covered by a paper mask of a sort. Also, Yume would rather keep their face a secret, so kindly refrain from ripping it off.
When one first enters Level -0.7, it will seem like a completely white void, with no sounds, textures, or anything. As you continue walking throughout the level, the melody will begin to play as your dream(s) appear to be loading in. Most dreams consist of (but not limited to):
- Flying within a beautiful night sky.
- Alone in a city, with merely your thoughts and such to keep you company.
- Sitting on a hill with a loved one.
- Your home.
- Etc.
People cannot die in Level -0.7, seeing as how, when they die, Yume is there to revive them and say encouraging messages such as:
- You did the best you could, everybody you know would be proud.
- You just got unlucky, that's all!
- Your family loves you, and so do I!
- I believe in you! Do better than last time!
These quotes are also are stated when the person within the level demonstrates poor self-esteem or are insane, helping them boost self-esteem or regain sanity. This level has an abundance of Yume's Water, a liquid that holds all properties of Almond Water, however is completely transparent, and Yume's Cooking, which resembles your closest relative's best dish.
Level -0.7, and Yume, both have something about them, which was found out via asking them-
Yume and the Level -0.7 are just calming and peaceful; they are meant to be a break from the Backrooms for you to... blow off steam, have friends, talk to someone, and more!
Entities
There are no officially documented entities in Level -0.7, however, some wanderers may consider Yume to be an entity.
Yume
Yume's height seems to be around 5-5'2 feet tall, with a orange hood on that covers their knees. They don't wear shoes most of the time, although one might see them with slippers on. it's skin is a white tone and it has blonde hair. One of Yume's biggest challenges is making friends, seeing as how most people believe they are an entity, their natural instinct is to run away. Yume is an entity exclusive to this level in particular, although there has been multiple cases of wanderers stating they saw Yume in other levels, usually Level 0 and Level -8. They are supposedly friends with The Record Keeper, stating them to be "Their big brother", although The Record Keeper has stated multiple times this is not true, stating for the entity to be a "bother" an "a trouble". It has an almost a child-like innocence and give wanderer's a comforting feeling, almost as they escaped and saw their mother again, when it is near. They are said to have extreme hyper-regeneration, as well as abnormal human physiology. Oh, and Yume really likes cooking.
Colonies and Outposts
Due to the nature of this level, and Yume, colonies and outposts are unable to be established.
