I am not sure if part of this dream was video game-like or not, my memory of it is unclear, I just remember that at the end of the dream all of my brothers (even CC) who were kids again & I went to a fictional nearby wilderness / park-like area.
We possibly considered camping out there, I can not remember the details of what happened other than us walking around et cetera enjoying nature & seeing various animals, and there was some history & familiarity about this area so I probably had false memories of it.
The next thing that I remember is us returning to a fictional version of our parents house which was a one-story house on the left side of the street one or two houses from where The E House should be, and my brother CC said that some people who lived nearby had his dog that CC had recently got.
CC said that the people claimed (maybe through a ransom note) that his dog was sick or that something was wrong with him & that they would not return his dog unless he paid them, I did not believe them & I felt that they basically kidnapped CC’s dog & wanted a ransom, and so I stopped to think about whether to call the police or go try to deal with them myself first & then call the police if necessary.
I thought about various possibly scenarios & outcomes trying to pick the best option(s), but that is all that I can remember of this dream.
The end,
