The Dream World is one of 8 known sub-realms to the Entity's Realm in which Dead by DaylightIconHelp DBDlogo takes place.


Overview[]

The Dream World is used exclusively by The NightmareIconHelpLoading nightmare, no other Killers have access to it.

The Dream World is on a different plane of existence to The Entity's Realm, marked by thick clouds of fog, a sky streaked with black and white, and everything being drained of colour.

The general aesthetics are akin to black-and-white film, with only some toned-down colours remaining.


Entering the Dream World[]

The Nightmare's mere presence in a Trial slowly lulls Survivors to sleep (Micro-Sleep) indicated by a timer overlaid on their HUD icon.
After 60 seconds Survivors are fully asleep, indicated by a cloud-overlay on their icon, and enter the Dream World.

Awake Survivors are immediately pulled into the Dream World when The Nightmare hits them with a Basic Attack.
Survivors may also start the Trial in the Dream World already, if The Nightmare equips the Red Paint BrushIconAddon redPaintBrush Add-on.

Dream World Effects[]

Unlike to awake Survivors, The Nightmare is always visible to sleeping Survivors, who are in the Dream World.

The Dream World replaces The Nightmare's Terror RadiusIconHelp terrorRadius with a Lullaby and causes Survivors to suffer permanently from the ObliviousIconStatusEffects oblivious Status Effect.

Survivors in the Dream World are also susceptible to Dream Traps, such as the Dream Snares or the Dream Pallets, able to both perceive them and be affected by them.

The Dream World adds a noticeable amount of reverberation to most sounds, including those made by The Nightmare himself and the Survivors, making most noises produce echoes.

Leaving the Dream World[]

To escape the Dream World, Survivors must wake up from their sleep, which can be done in 5 ways:

  • Have another Survivor perform the Wake Up action on you
  • Be hooked by The Nightmare
  • Fail a Repair or Healing Skill Check
  • Activate the Perk AdrenalineIconPerks adrenaline
  • Wake yourself up using the Alarm ClockIconHelp alarmClock highlighted to you in white

Sleep-Immunity[]

Once a Survivor wakes up, they return to the Overworld and their sleep timer is reset.

If they woke up using an Alarm Clock, they gain 30 seconds of immunity before they once again enter Micro-Sleep, an immunity that also extends to The Nightmare's Basic Attacks.
