Wilderness
I was in Alaska, with Joscelyn, Megan, Luke, and one other guy. We were about to sled down a hill, in the national park surrounding Denali. I knew that it was safe, because I had already gone down it with Kat. I was having doubts, though, because the slope was rather steep, and narrow. We started down anyway, and quickly built up speed. The path became curvy, and the snow was starting to disappear. We hit one really rough patch, and Luke and I were thrown from the sled. When I came to my senses, I saw that we had landed near the cub of a mountain lion. He seemed friendly enough. Luke was already petting him, like he was just a house cat. I asked him to stop, because we didn't know where the mother was. He finally agreed, and we got up to go find the others. From the edge of the clearing, the mother was watching. She stalked with slow, even steps, as she came towards us. We were still a threat, she thought, because our apparent retreat was just a trick. She lept towards me with no warning, teeth bared. I reached out my arm, and caught her in the face. I caught hold of her muzzle, and kept her teeth shut, so she wouldn't be able to bite me. She fell to the ground, and then started up to renew her attack. I held her head again with my hand, leaving her unable to attack. Finally, she gave up, as her cub had already retreated some distance from us. She walked with her cub into the forest, and they were gone.

Swimming
I was swimming back from Seattle, on the river that runs to Wenatchee. It was a broad, deep river, and the current wasn't very strong. Eventually, I came to a water fall. It was a rather large waterfall, at least 1000 ft, and there was a huge pool at the bottom. I got onto the diving board, and prepared to jump. The bottom was a mere blur, obscured by the vast distance. I readied myself, and jumped.
As I fell, I realized that there was a pontoon in my way, with people on it. I tried to move, so as to not hit it, and destroy it, but it kept moving to match my movements. I was forced to slow myself, almost to a stop. Eventually, I evaded it, and landed in the pool. I decided I was done with swimming for a while, and got out of the pool, and went into the men's changing area, that was carved into the cliff face. Though it was in a cave, all of the walls were made of wood. I got changed, and walked into a room with lots of people in it, from my past.

Special
I was riding the school bus home, like any normal day, and was talking to this small kid. He seemed like a nice guy, and we got along quite well. When we got to our stop, We said goodbye, and I went on my way. halfway to my house, however, I realized that I could hear breathing that wasn't mine. I looked back at my backpack, and realized the kid had somehow gotten into my backpack without me noticing. He said someone was following him, and he needed to get away from him. He spoke of a meeting that was happening in an hour at a secret base in the southern part of Idaho. It was a convention of sorts, for superheroes, or those with powers. He really needed to get there, so I started walking.
Inside the base, as we approached it, two people were talking.
"He's late."
"There's someone with him. He's a mutant. a Robert... Wight."
"Get rid of him. We can't have other supers sniffing around."
We came to a fence, that was locked. We couldn't find a way through, but the boy said that I could get us through.
"How?" I asked.
"Just think, and it will happen."
I imagined the fence disappearing, and it was gone. We went forward, cautiously. We decided it was too risky to be wearing just normal clothes, so we changed into two spiderman costumes I had in my backpack. The boy had such a fro that it stuck out of the suit, but still, it covered his face, so all was well. We went on, and finally got to a building. When we looked in the window, it was mostly empty, with some computers along one wall, and a cage near the ceiling. There was slumped figure in the cage, wearing a spiderman costume. We opened the window quietly, hoping noone was in there. We flew (using my telekinesis) to the cage, got in (the top was open), and started to check on the man in the suit. suddenly, the lights went on, and the top of the cage sprang to life. We were trapped.
