1. Find the dreamer in the old house.
Go to the house Triss told you about. At the entrance, you'll meet the owner of the house, the banker Rudolf de Jonkheer, who hired Corinne. After a short conversation with him, you will be able to enter the house. Go to the bedroom located on first floor of the house, where you'll find a sleeping Corinne. By her bedside, you'll see a little girl-like creature. When she sees you, she'll run away and hide. Geralt will try to wake up Corinne, but he will not succeed. Corinne has nightmares and screams something about a doll and an attic.
2. Search the attic. / Examine the drawing. / Take the doll.
In a small room adjacent to the bedroom, you will find a ladder that you can climb up to the attic. Next you have to use the Aard sign or weapon to destroy the bookcase that is blocking your path to the next room.
In the attic, find the Drawing of a crib and take a look at it.
Search the attic for the Rag doll too.
3. Put the doll in the crib. / Find out why the door slammed shut.
Go downstairs and enter the second of the small rooms adjacent to the bedroom. Put the doll in the cradle standing there.
The door to this room will suddenly shut behind your back. Approach the door and examine the drawing of the stove attached to it.
4. Examine the oven.
Go down to the basement. You'll get to it through the hatch located on the ground floor of the house.
Take a look inside the oven and Sarah, a harmless godling, will come out. She's the one who keeps Corinne from waking up. You can make a deal with Sarah and let her stay in the house or chase her away.
Note: If you let Sarah stay at the house, then some time later you will be able to do a short, additional quest - Haunted House.
5. (Optional) Get some burdock. / Burn burdock in the oven.
If you decide to get rid of Sarah, you'll have to get a burdock. You can buy it from the Herbalist in Novigrad. Once you get the burdock return to the house, place the burdock on the oven, stand back and then use the Igni sign. Sarah will run away.
6. Talk to the dreamer.
Return to the bedroom and talk to Corinne. She's willing to help you but she needs a moment to recover and will suggest that you meet her in her room at the Golden Sturgeon Inn.
7. Meet Corinne at the Golden Sturgeon.
When you leave the house, you'll talk to its owner again. If you let Sarah stay in the house, you can lie and tell him that the house is haunted or tell him the truth about the godling. In both cases, de Jonkher will decide to sell this house.
Go to Golden Sturgeon Inn. Corinne's room is located on the top floor of the inn. First she'll ask you some questions about Ciri and then she'll put you asleep. You will have a vision. You will see a swallow symbolizing Ciri and your old friend Dandelion - so they both met in Novigrad. When you wake up and tell Corinne what you were dreaming, she'll tell you where you can find your old friend.
Corinne agreed to help Geralt and put together a dreaming séance for him. Geralt has always been an introvert, and talking about his feelings and loved ones does not come easy for him. Yet that was exactly what the dreamer needed him to do if she was to dream about Ciri. In the end Geralt forced open his shell, then fell asleep - and dreamed. In his dream, he saw Ciri in Novigrad... with me.
