I've been having a lot of dreams along these similar lines lately;

I'll have just moved into a new appartment (or sometimes I just believe that it is my appartment) that seems be very insecure. There will be lots of large glass windows facing the street; several glass doors with broken or loose locks, etc.

I usually start by trying to lock the doors and secure the place, but after some time, the appartment is broken into by gang members or kids. Often they try to trick me by pretending to be friends whilst someone else comes in through another door. Often these people seem more intent on vandalisation or partying than stealing anything.

On some of these occasions I have become lucid. In these cases I respond to the intruders by showing them friendship, peace and love. I never try to fight them. After this, they become totally different people; respectable, friendly and interesting (sometimes their appearance also changes to reflect this). However, most of these dreams are not lucid and so I do not reach this point.

Any thoughts on these kinds of dreams? I've had these type of dreams on and off for well over a year now; probably around 20 in total documented and lots more forgotten.
