An attempt at understanding and describing the dimensions of DbD

Dimension 0 (The Dream World):

Only used by Freddy to use his abilities.

Dimension 1 (The Trials):

Where the in-game action takes place. The Entity starts generating the map from within the trial, going off memories of the killers and in rare cases the survivors. She decides where everything goes, and if she shows a little mercy to the survivors with the generation, or allows the killer to decimate them. The Entity has the most strength here. There is a sense of time and dimension here

Dimension 2 (The Campfire):

This is where the menu of the game takes place. All the survivors here are either awake after completing the previous trial, or asleep, exploring the bloodweb to wake up with items and abilities, by manipulating the fog. There is only shards of time and dimension here, allowing for a trial to have these concepts, but to also have infinite trials going at once.

Dimension 3 (The Spirit World):

This is where the Entity exists, in all her glory, and has no sense of time or dimension. Killers are given powers to take advantage of this realm, but not enough to attempt to challenge the Entity (could be a point of weakness). Examples being Nurses blink warping to take advantage of the spirit world having no concept of time, dimension, or both, and the Wraith being able to displace himself to the spirit world. Spirit uses a mix of these abilities, taking skilled advantage of piercing the spirit world’s concept of dimension.

Dimension 4 (The normal world):

Where normal people live. The entity, having no true concept of time and dimension, can gather enough hope energy to magnetise to despair energy and create a hole between the 3rd dimension and the 4th dimension at a random point in space and time (assuming they are from the present or past, the entity can not reach into the future since no concept of time means the entity can not manifest time itself, and must follow events in the real world first) to pull a survivor or a killer through, whether by force, by catching their attention and distracting them to walk into the realm, or by inviting them in (in the case of some of the killers).

Dimension ? (The Outside):

A theoretic dimension, of which Vigo has managed to ‘escape’ to sometimes by manipulating the fog against the Entity’s will, and also contains the archives and shrine of secrets in their physical sense.
