I kinda like that. I should add, finally, that not doing anything (if the crows arrive) puts you into Dream State as well.

What about this: Freddy is invisible, but you can hear his terror radius. But he can't attack you... unless... Unless the survivor makes a mistake: Missing a skill check or getting a normal skill check will put in you in dream state. Same with healing. Anything that is not a perfect skill check puts you into a dream…

This is a very valid point. Maybe introduce a restriction, Freddy can't interact with anyone while invisible. Only until the Survivor reveals him on purpose or by mistake. But he can still break pallets and gens.

Really? You didn't get the part about, being in a dream state -- and not knowing it? Or running up to a survivor to try to wake you up, only to find out, you're both in the dream state! Furthermore, you have to convince survivors to wake you. If Freddy stays hidden longer, he can put everyone to sleep -- so no one can wake…

But forcing a killer to 'come out' (be revealed) by things that a Survivor does is new in this game. Typically, a killer reveals himself at his own voilition. In this version of the game, Killer can only reveal himself by attacking -- only way. Unless, the Survivor outs him, through the Nightmare tests.

How would Freddy be apparent and still not be in Dream State? Like the Doctor? Just appears and vanishes. I think that's already a thing. I believe that people should have no indication they're in a dream, if they see Freddy immediately, then they know they're in a dream. THey have to force Freddy to come out (reveal…

Well, we would restore the use of pallets.

Then restore the use of pallet. Hopefully that balances it out.

I see your point. Making Freddy have to strike 3 times is an option I suppose. But, yes, it may need some balance. However, some of these killers have 1 hit downs perks and addons already. If this 'free hit' makes Freddy a 1 hit down killer (though technically 2 hits), how is it different from Myers or some of the others…

Kind of like 'finding a glitch' in the Matrix.

Or Freddy attacks you first. Then he reveals himself at that point. But, putting you in a dream never reveals him. Only if he attacks (or you find out by finding a NIGHTMARE CLUE).

Freddy would be invisible until he attacks. Pretty sure in the movies, Freddy didn't reveal himself in the dream world until after they knew they were in a dream. He can reveal himself right away as well, but that defeats the purpose of being in a dream world and not knowing it, if you see Freddy right away. Then it will…

Here's the 3 main take aways, if I had to sum it up. The survivor can not know that he's in a dream, if he has been put to sleep. But, there will be NIGHTMARE CLUES that he has to look for to test if he's in a dream. When he or she finds out they are in a dream state, they have to convince the other survivors to wake them…

I just had to get these ideas out of my head. I'm pretty sure I'm very late to the game. And I'm pretty sure alot of these ideas have been brought up already. I was just trying to hash out the ideas as best that I could.
