This is intresting!!!

First off, it sounds like maybe the lights are running "In Series" with the dryer. Do they come on very dim?

Other symptoms could be poor connections, or improper circuitry [on the part of the Grounded Neutral Conductor].

There's also the possibility of the back rooms being "Backfed" through the dryer, or maybe the breaker[s] have poor contact to the bus.

Sounds like a good job for a Troubleshooting Sparky!!! If you are not an Electrician, or even if you are but lack high Troubleshooting skills, I would suggest finding a reliable, sharp and solid Electrician to do the Troubleshooting for you. Otherwise, you can complicate things even more, or worse - create hazards or hurt yourself from bad shocks.

Please do not feel as if I am offending you here. Quite the opposite! Setting someone up to possibly injure themselves or others is not something anyone in this forum would EVER try to do.

Feel free to include more of your profile and abilities!
