Talk:Silent Hill (Illusion)/@comment-31690499-20170504113309

The fact that the events take place in lucid dreaming seems plausible, but there must be some truth behind the events, otherwise Silent Hill 3 wouldn't happen.

Harry does adopt his daughter from outside Silent Hill, and his wife dies sometime afterwards. Harry likely crashes his truck and has some lucid dreaming of the events, likely getting the bad ending. Harry wakes, and traverses through Silent Hill, except it's a normal town. He finds his daughter, and leaves.

James does murder Mary, and leaves, but comes back to adopt Laura, because that's what he was going to do with Mary. He probably spent sometime looking for her, and in that time he fell asleep. Whether Maria, Angela, and Eddie are figments of his imagination or real people he met before falling asleep is unknown.

Since she wasn't reborn, Cheryl/Heather' game can happen in the set time while Silent Hill 1 can happen when it was originally set. Either Cheryl adopted Heather as a nickname or its her middle name, whichever it is, she used it in her dream. She likely dreamt of Silent Hill because Harry told her of his own dream. Eventually, she woke up and went home.

Henry is probably locked in his room for about a day, and during that time, he has dreams about Walter. It's possible Frank either told him about Walter or Henry heard it from elsewhere. The people in his dreams that Walter murdered were simply people he met. Walter likely actually died in prison, and his murders were out of insanity, as opposed to sacrifice.

Travis probably saved, or attempted to save Alessa from a burning building. After meeting Alessa one way or another, he has dreams involving her and his past. Travis is able to get past this and leaves, resuming his life as a trucker.

Alex probably witnessed his brother death via drowning, even if he didn't do it himself. He felt guilty so he ran away to the military, and probably got injured, and then had a dream about the Silent Hill events. Some people were just older versions of people he'd met, while others were figments of his imagination. After waking up, he left the military and went home.

Murphy, he probably lost his wife and son as he did, and probably did everything he did in reality until it came to Silent Hill. He likely crashed and got knocked out, then dreamt of the events of Downpour. When he woke up, he was taken back to custody but was able to clear his name, or maybe he escaped, proved he was innocent, and left.
