The Nightmare Powers and Add-ons
On this page, you'll find an explanation of The Nightmare's power, Dream Demon, and a list of all available add-ons currently in Dead by Daylight.
The Nightmare's Power: Dream Demon
The Nightmare’s power allows him to pull Survivors into the Dream World. When awake, Survivors will hear a Terror Radius when The Nightmare is close. In the Dream World, Survivors will hear The Nightmare’s song. When you hit a survivor that is awake, they will be put into the Dream World.
Survivors can wake up from the Dream World by interacting with alarm clocks or failing Skill Checks. The Nightmare has two special abilities: Dream Snare which is a circle of blood The Nightmare can place on the ground that hinders Survivors if they run across it and Dream Projection. This allows The Nightmare to teleport to generators. Blood will spill out when The Nightmare is teleporting to a generator.
