Going to Meet the Mind of the House (night of 01/10/2023)

An old house - huge and labyrinthine. It is nighttime. I am out in the garden with a lot of other people. This part also feels inside too - large sheds perhaps? There is a cosy feeling about it all - mixed with a kind of excitement, as for a festival or a celebratory religous ritual.
I am sat on the ground - Dave T. is there - also Jim. A girl I think is Suzanna. Words / writing on a wall. This is somehow connected to why we are there.
Flickering firelight and darkness.
Ghostgirl is here too. I am pleased to see her. We do not speak - I wonder if I should speak to her? I hear her talk to someone though. I am glad to hear that she does not sound as crazed as I fear she might in waking life. Other people leave to go somewhere. This is called 'taking shifts'. I am left along with Ghostgirl. I wonder if I should talk to her.
Deeply kissing Suzanna. This is somehow connected to the ritual.
I take Dave away, my arm around his shoulders. A part of me still wishes I was with Suzanna, and wonder where she is. The house is massive - maze-like, full of corridors, rooms, stairways. A huge infinite warren. All lit with that atmosphere of firelight and nighttime. Everything woodpanelled and cosy. I am eager and excited to explore the house.
A small set of curving stairs - do these end at a door? Do we open the door?
It feels like Dave T and Jim are somehow connected to this hosue - did they live here in the past? As we travel further into ther house, it seems that I know what part is coming next.
There is a long curving walkway - then the walkway seems to go through some kind of 'lock gates'. I feel possessed of some kind of ecstatic power.
"All houses are alive Dave!" I say, to which he replies "I know. I used to feel it when I lived in the house at Tolly Road". Is this a reference to this house in another location, or another house he used to live in?
"We're going to meet the mind of the house!" I triumphantly explain.
A sudden image of silent pine trees beneath a grey sky, curving away. This is all part of the house.

The dream also had a soundtrack - that of 'Heaven Heath' by psychedelic folk band Mellow Candle. This song is playing at some point - possibly connected to something displayed on a blackboard? Some kind of art installation? I point this out to someone who is connected to choosing this soundtrack, a tall man with sandy blonde hair. He seems unimpressed with me pointing this out, and explains to me it is not the song that is playing but some kind of recreation of it - a re-recorded version based on the silences between the notes, or similar.
