Autistic Kid with Ghostbusters gear

I had a dream last night that I was at a sleep-away camp and there was this kid dressed up in a Ghostbusters uniform (pack and all). There was something mentally off about him, so I refused to sleep. He would walk around at night and I did not trust him. I think he had some form of severe autism or something, but he still creeped me out. I was hanging out in the kitchen and saw him walking in my direction. I quickly hid up against the countertop on the side of the refrigerator. I told myself if he comes close to me, I have no choice, but to jump-scare him. He kept slowly walking towards where I was hiding. He stops right in front of the fridge and I jump out and scare the crap out of him. He yells and takes a few steps back and covers his ears and shakes in fear. Everyone comes running out of their rooms and try to calm him down. Then they look at me as if I'm the bad guy. I'm like, this kid will probably end up murdering you all and I'm the bad guy? So I ran outside and lay on the ground until morning. The next morning I overhear someone talking and they said this kid had set fire to a building prior to coming to this camp. See! That's what I'm talking about! I'm not the crazy one who wants to kill people (or maybe he was just an autistic kid who thinks he's trapping ghosts in the middle of the night with his proton blaster : ) Belinda and Mike Weber came out and talked to me for a bit in the morning and tried to explain to them where I was coming from. That I wasn't trying to scare the kid on purpose, I mean there was a purpose, but not because I take joy in scaring kids with autism.
