Selma Theed

Selma Theed is a minor character in The Dream Machine, one of the two residents of the upper attic floor of The Estate, next to Martin Willard. Her dream is visted in Chapter 5.

In the Waking World
In real life, Selma is a nurse and works on the night shift. Her hours mean she sleeps during most of the day and does not socialise with the other residents much, though she tries to keep on friendly terms.

In order to knock her out and enter her dream, Victor constantly harasses her, prompting her to call Mr. Morton or the police and letting Victor pump sleeping gas into her apartment. She then falls asleep on the floor and remains there for the rest of the game.

In the Dreamscape
In her dreams, Selma is a witch living in a small village in a forest. She is known as a healer to the people of the forest, but has disappeared after chasing the Organ Thief. Victor finds her later, staring motionless at a giant wall of eyes displayed on TV screens. After breaking her hypnotism, she also gains lucidity and remembers Victor's actions to put her to sleep, though she does forgive him for them after explanation. She helps him push some of the TV screens down into the void, then returns to her house in the dream.
