Freddy Rework Idea

Power Changes:
Your power is called Dream demon. You are the master of the dream world, and can control everything in it.
When Freddy uses his power on a survivor, it pulls them into the dream world, they are gradually slowed until they are finally asleep in a 5 second transition. This action depletes half of the power gauge. The survivor becomes separated from their real body, and can no longer interact with awake players. Awake players can not see or interact with a sleeping player. The only way for a survivor to wake up is to interact with their real body in a 10 second animation, or for a different awake survivor to interact with their body in a 5 second animation. When in the dream world you cannot exit the trial. If Freddy uses his power on a pallet, it is instantly broken, whether or not the pallet was dropped or not. This effect lasts for 7.5 seconds and consumes the entire power gauge. If Freddy uses his power on a window, wooden boards manifest and it is immediately blocked off. This effect lasts for 7.5 seconds and consumes the entire power gauge. It takes 15 seconds for a full power gauge to recharge.
Instead of a pulling animation when Freddy uses his power, it is replaced by an animation of Freddy snapping his fingers.

Lullaby Changes:
Awake survivors who hear Freddy's lullaby slowly become drowsy. When drowsy you partially slip into the dream world, you don't separate from your body, but you can see Freddy and Freddy can see your aura. In drowsiness level 1 you slip into the dream world every 10 seconds for 3 seconds. In drowsiness level 2 you slip into the dream world every 7 seconds for 4 seconds. In drowsiness level 3 you slip into the dream world every 5 seconds for 5 seconds. Landing skill checks helps you focus, lowering your drowsiness level.

    Interesting idea, however, the ability to break pallets and block windows should be replaced. Although it has a long cool down and it is because he "controls the dream world", it would be pretty broken.

    I like the fresh look on his power, this makes it an actual dream instead of like sleep-walking. Slipping in and out is cool too because he could potentially hit you without using his power on you.

    But his pallet breaking and window boarding, I think he should only be able to break pallets when they're down and if he breaks a pallet in the Dreamworld it is still there in the real world so it could be used again. That would, of course, suck that they can use the same pallet multiple times but he can still use his power to break the pallets which is faster than kicking it. But as for windows, I don't think he should do that, that's two things in his power that stop loops entirely and the community would cry out for nerfs on him again. Maybe instead of blocking the window he can move the window? Use his power on the window and it moves along the wall several meters? It isn't blocked just farther away, and it could go back to its normal position after a few seconds.
