What if it is just a nightmare?
Maybe the survivor that we are playing , is just having a nightmare, the reason that makes me think about it is. It always night, when we are asleep. Also the game have a entire scenario of a dream.
1- the map size: usually in our dreams our mind can't "create" a huge area to the dream, and the maps don't have a huge area and the other side of the exit gates don't have even a paper scenario.
2- we are weak: survivors could easily beat up killers like the legion if they fight then all together but usually in dreams, we are only supposed to run away of then.
3- the entity: the entity it self is unexplained, letting us know that our mind may showed us our fear of the unexplained and dark magic.
4- The Oni's realm: the Oni's realm have a unique characteristic of statues that changes every time you look at then. On dreams, nothing you read or see will be the same when you look again.
5- Dwight's lore: Dwight when he woke up on the trial, he was drunk and fell asleep, and by his dad mind of all he suffered by bully and etc, he had a nightmare. Other survivors like Meg Thomas, when she lost her self on the forest, it was a traumatic memory and she have nightmares with that.

I really doubt it. One thing doesn't makes sense, the observer. You could say that he simply observes the dreams, but if that's the case how did he escape through the void? Another nightmare? And even so, how does he has so much power?
Also, there are 4 more people that the player knows (usually 3 different survivors that you have met and a killer). It would also be really unsatisfying answer xd.
People that are mentioned in the lore, like the main protagonist who wrote the journals, his details are so specific, it's unlikely that it's a dream.
Interesting theory, there are evidence that support it, but I think that a human mind can't make these up by themselves. I don't think that the devs made the lore so mysterious for it to just be a dream :0

With some killers existing, no. Say Jeff, taken around the late 90's early 2000's, was an avid movie fan. He still wouldn't have seen Saw or Stranger Things to know what a demogorgon, who The Pig is, or who the characters are.

i would say no, because you rarely have the same nightmare again and again

I mean, in a sense, it is a dream.
Dreams are mental environments created by our unconscious mind. Typically we lack the ability to control them and can't share this mental environment with another consciousness.
However both these are the case in the Entity's Realm; these nightmares are shared by 4 Survivors and 1 Killer, and their environments and internal logic controlled by the Entity; host of the shared Nightmare. This is why both Survivors and Killers obey odd and arbitrary rules: they're more or less unconscious and can only act within the confines allowed them by the Entity.
Much like how in a dream, you can't act how you would like. You jump off the building, or go to school without your pants, or whatever, instead of doing what you would do normally. And while you're dreaming it doesn't occur to you that anything is abnormal.
Of course, a few people; Vigo, The Alchemist, The Observer, and potentially some as yet unknown characters, can go beyond the confines of the Entity. Unlike most others, they've managed to achieve consciousness while 'sleeping' and can manipulate the dream. This is a real thing known as lucid dreaming.
However, with regards to Dead by Daylight this only affords them a small measure of control. They're still more or less prisoners inside the Entity's dream. They're just not as beholden to it's rules as others. Hence Vigo's ability to produce all manner of helpful items to aid survival, but inability to truly Escape.
I find it highly unlikely it's the Survivor's dream (if that were the case I'd think that they'd wake up eventually, or at least change their dream over time), but you're right that it is a dream. More or less.
