Dream Journal 1-19-2011: I need to stop watching horror Let's Plays.
Man, I really need to stop watching Let's Plays of horror games. I'm lucky that nothing from Amnesia: The Dark Descent showed up, but this dream takes things definitely from Silent Hill and Fatal Frame.
I was at this big pool party with a whole bunch of people I didn't know and family members as well. After a while we were all called back into the house, but my Uncle Pete stayed out swimming because it was such a beautiful day or something. I got myself into a really awesome steampunk outfit, complete with a leather map carrying case and some seriously sweet goggles. I went back inside and met this girl who was not much older than me but had a baby with her. She passed the baby off to a sister of hers and we talked.
Then we saw something upstairs. We followed it. I had a flashlight, which we apparently needed. Once we got upstairs we couldn't hear the party downstairs anymore. We were exploring a completely different house, a huge mansion. It was really dark, but still looked nice, although we got the feeling that something was watching us. We went through this completely tricked out "Princess Suite" room. It was dark and there was a rustling noise, but as we explored it we found nothing. We moved to the next room and all I can remember from there is we looked out the window to a completely different backyard than before, and there were four figures out there. Three of them were the same woman, apparently the mother of the girl I was with. One was off to the right, another sitting at a white metal patio table with an umbrella, and another right at the edge of a pool. At the same time they all turned to look up at us, and then the fourth figure was revealed to be the girl that I had been exploring the rooms with. Somehow she had been transported down there and I had to guide her safely back into the house, keeping her from being caught by the creepy moms.
We rushed to the next room, which resembled one of her sister's rooms, where a ghost that apparently looked a lot like the girl's dad attacked us. And getting out of there we reached a baby's room which freaked the girl out massively and she rushed downstairs again. I followed her out and down, and we found ourselves in the party again. Most of the people had left except for the girl's parents and my family. My mom asked me to go outside and bring Uncle Pete in. When I got out there he was swimming along, half submerged, bumping into walls like he was asleep while swimming. I pulled him out of the pool and he was out of it for a little bit, but eventually he snapped out of it. Meanwhile the girl was hugging her baby and explaining what we had seen to her mother and sisters. Apparently they believed her.
We went outside while they discussed things, and we managed to call in the ghost that had attacked us, the one that looked like her dad. Apparently it was a shape-shifting ghost because it didn't look like her dad anymore. By calling it in we attracted the attention of all of the other dangerous things we had been encountering upstairs, but we were able to keep them at bay with some sort of shield while we talked with the dad ghost. We were discussing a deal with it to have it join our side or help us somehow when I woke up.
The exploration style reminded me a lot of the Let's Plays of various Silent Hill games I've been watching, and when the ghost attacked us I had the Fatal Frame camera ring showed up whenever I faced the ghost to fend it off (though I didn't have the Camera Obscura so maybe it was indicative of some sort of psychic attack of mine?).
