Demons and eerie mansions

In this dream I am just an observer who jumps between bodies of people in the story. The dream begins a woman who moves into a mansion she just inherited all of a sudden. The town is quite odd and small. All the people know each other in the town but there’s just something off about the people In town. The taxi which is a van that drove her in from the airport is exclusive to that town and the taxi driver asks her if she’s the one who is inheriting the mansion. She frowns and says yes. He drops her off in front of the mansion which looks a little old and a bit not taken care of. He says the groundskeeper of the house should be waiting for her. She takes her luggage and walks in from the gated entrance to the house. Walking towards the entrance she uses the brass knockers (forgot what they are called). The large wooden doors open but there’s no one inside. At the table when she first walks in to the large mansion is a note from the groundskeeper that he had to fix something and that her room is the master bedroom that her relative used to stay in. She closes the doors behind her and makes her way up the large wooden staircase. The ambience of the whole mansion is a bit off and kind of off putting. She goes up to the first floor and tries to find the largest room. She opens multiple doors all revealing furniture covered by sheets and cobwebs in the rooms. The rooms look like they were abandoned suddenly and just left in their previous state when someone used to live there. Finally she finds the largest room in the house and sets her luggage down. She walks around the room and looks at the vanity table on it is a canister of magnesium balm which says it’s to protect the skin ( I think this is my brains weird science bc zinc is what you put on skin to protect it). I don’t remember what happens next or maybe the scene jumps but the groundskeeper knocks on the bedroom door and she opens it. He gives her a small oval canister of the magnesium balm and reminds her to put it on her face everyday to protect it and says something about the environment in the area makes it bad for the skin. He looks like a nice old man with white hair and a white beard. The scene jumps again and she takes the taxi minivan again. The taxi takes her to a breakfast place and there she bumps into this one very broody guy. The scene cuts and I learn that the broody guy has two friends, when clever and mischievous and the other one goofy and happy go lucky. Turns out this dream is a reverse harem for the girl. I am now seeing from the broody guy’s point of view. The girl and him are a thing currently and apparently she also has a thing with the other two guys and I also learn that the town is a town of supernaturals. The three guys she is with are demons. The broody guy being the only demon of his kind. The broody guy’s backstory is that he was fighting in a war between supernaturals and his side was losing so he looked to humans for help (yea I also think that was a bad idea). The humans which are now some kind of Asian people ( my brain has switched this from normal small town creepiness to ancient Asian fantasy) and they convince him that if he has nothing to lose he will be stronger. So they build him this large red building that looks like those Japanese pagodas. It is three floors. The first floor has this large door that’s black, red, white and yellow. It’s carved with this large ugly demon looking face and painted with the above colors. The next floors are in a bit of disrepair and broken down but the first floor is intact. The first floor is where the humans have sealed a black drum. The skin on top of the black drum is from the broody guys back and the black drum is the device that sealed his kind of demons away under the drum. What I see of the room with the drum is that it sits in this pitch black room and has a yin yang symbol in top of it. So the broody guy locks them away in that building and is given a room on the upper floors. The only way he can get into it is through this enchanted wall but what he finds out later os that the humans trapped him to that building as well. Turns out the humans were working for the demons that his side was fighting against and his sacrifice made the broody guys side of the war lose. Now they live under the oppression of the side that won. So his room is enchanted in that if the weight of the room decreases (like the man leaves or something) it will let the evil demons know and they will punish his people that have been sealed away. The broody guy is appalled but manages to figure out how to get out that situation. However he abandons his people for a couple hundred years bc he’s frustrated and ashamed of himself. He spends many years as a lone wolf before he meets his two friends. He brings in stuff equal to his weight and floats when he enters or leaves his room. At this point I question the logic of my brain bc that explanation was weird. Anyway we jump back and apparently the girl is some kind of supernatural too but the whole town is unaware. The balm that the groundskeeper reminds her to put on everyday hides her identity and protects her skin from doing something weird in the sun that will reveal what she is. He knows what she is and she’s a very rare and coveted type of supernatural. I find out that she and the three men are in love. I jump to the broody guys point of view again and now he’s trying to sneak back to the house and get some things for the girl as a present. He uses his chain to hook onto when the edges of the building to climb up to the second floor. Then he uses a rope to climb up to the third floor where his room is when the mischievous and clever guy shows up and scolds him. Then clever guy casts some kind of time freeze spell and that is the justification for both of them to take treasures from the broody guys room to give to the girl. Meanwhile the girl is picked up by the cat demon who is in charge of protecting her. From here things get a bit fuzzy and I just wake up.
