Never Miss A Film Theory! ► bit.ly/1dI8VBH
There have been MANY installments to the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise over the years. I've been looking through them with my current free time and realised that NO ONE is really "winning" against Freddy Krueger in these movies. He's always there once they, inevitably, fall asleep. I want to figure out how you can actually BEAT Freddy Krueger at his own nightmarish games.

i would like to take a second to thank matpat for everything, i have been with you for as long as i can remember, and as i grow older i notice that some things he has talked about are the things that i have learned about in my math and science class, i now understand some of the things that he is talking about, and he has helped me grow as a learner. before, i struggled to pay attention in classes because of my ADHD, but now i realize how interesting science could actually be, and matpat, if you are reading this i want you to know that you have been my role model, and we all love you! thank you for helping me i the times i really needed it. i am also adding that 2 months ago i learned from my friend about rem and i understand everything you are talking about

[@christopher4249]

I think the meaning of a nightmare on elm street is of parents worst fears about a stranger a man an unexplainable demon entity or force of nature that either human or supernatural is attacking their kids with in their subconscious fears and flaws about themselves and are in the end powerless to stop him. Which is the embodiment of hate, revenge, and evil itself taking everything from humans that believe that things like depression, mental issues and trauma are the real reason behind their problems. Nightmare on Elm Streets meaning imo is about the terrifying truth of life that humans are scared to face which is “The Unexplainable” and the scary road we all ride on which is fate and how there’s things in life that just happen without meaning, remorse or reasoning.

Technically if Freddy is attacking people in *their* dreams, the victims should be able to control their own dreams as soon as they realize they are dreaming.

[@Snakepit_Media]

Technically, the only way to actually control dreams is if you are aware its a dream. Lucid dreaming, the state of knowing you're in a dream and controlling said dream can be quite hard. If you're terrified and not in a lucid state I'd sayit would be extremely difficult to achieve lucid dreaming if you're occupied with being terrified of a dream based murderer.

[@skinnyboikaden2688]

Freddy has power over their dreams leaving them powerless against him

[@GXShattering]

T Herr The kids tried to do this in the third movie, and it didn’t end happy.

[@watertommyz]

Not that easy. Also, dreams in Elm St act more as an alternate reality souls go when people dream. There is a huge connection between dreams and the afterlife in the movies that people tend to forget.

[@Snittty]

Yeah but with that same logic you would realise your dreaming, get scared and wake up, I'm pretty sure (don't quote me) but I'm pretty sure if your Dream is in lucid state, any state of fear will wake you up

Wrong, fucking dumbass. You CANNOT dream without R.E.M. and Freddy CANNOT reach people unless the dream. You can Day R.E.M. dream, dipshit. Not sure why you think nodding off won't trigger R.E.M. but it most definitely does, dumbass.

Great vid! Unfortunately, dreaming isn't limited to the REM cycle. This is an old belief that has been debunked. More recent studies have found that dreaming also takes place during non-REM. Speaking from personal experience as well, dreaming can take place during all parts of the sleep cycle. My nightmares start the second I fall asleep and don't let up until I wake. No matter what time I wake up during the night, it is always in the middle of a dream. Even a short nap will have me go straight into a nightmare. Freddy hasn't gotten me yet though!

Don't mess with the brain, mess with your dreams. Lucid dreaming. Imagine the whole town training to beat Freddy at his own game. This is nightmares we're talking about, not dreams. I consider them a separate beast. For me dreams come and go pretty easily, it's normal brain function. Nightmares seem to be connected directly to our fears, based on what I've experienced. I identified signs in repeated nightmares and worked on my self image. Now that I don't care what people think of me I have like two nightmares a year. Either new fears with new clues that I write in my journal or recycled nightmares that I've 'played' before and know how to solve. It's pretty fascinating actually.

Mat pat dreaming is the brain's way of filtering out memories that you no longer need if you were to stop dreaming you would overload your brain.

[@sirfinlaythestinky]

MatPat's theory reminds me of the in-universe dream suppression drug Hypnocil, which was introduced in the NoES 3:Dream Warriors! Though I don't know if the films clarify, it works like the real-life drugs MatPat was referring to! In the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET comics by AVATAR PRESS, the adults are literally drugging the town's teenagers with hypnocil to ensure Freddy can't attack the town's teenagers in their dreams & for the most part its shown to be effective!

Hey MatPat, I have to say that you were probably always one of my favorite youtubers, (but you are my favorite theorist), I've been watching since the beginning of the *loooooooong* fnaf theory line. (Since the phone guy = purple guy days) Anyway, just wanna say that I love all your channels and you jokes make me laugh! Keep up the amazing work!!!

[@ultimarx7772]

I’m surprised Matpat didn’t even bother to bring that they literally do this in Freddy Vs Jason, using drugs to keep the kids from having dreams.

[@erikg4912]

That is what i was thinking

[@LORDVOLCOS]

Did it in first one too. Hypnocil they called it

[@watertommyz]

Except they were in a fully induced coma. And Freddy in the remake uses drugs to his advantage, as he is trying to make Nancy permanently sleep, which was the big twist at the end.

[@jacquelynhusky6875]

yeah but those had a side effect if you take to much

[@rayclapp7074]

Every drug has potential side effects. In the movie they state that every one at the institute was taking hynocile so its statistically impossible for no one to experience side effects

[@demilung]

Man, if Freddy ever looked into my dreams, he'd be traumatized for after-life.

Or like a normal person that just wants to play the campaign you could play it in a couple days and then take it back

Should also mention in all my dreams my Sunshine, a curse that makes me stronger during the day and average at night, runs rampant and I’m the super powerful lion sin (the title I had as a swordsman because of my extreme pride and extreme strength). In literally every dream. So I think I’m good against Freddy who would lose to my Pride Form.

Is it just me or did you comment this already ? I'm getting some serious déjà vu right now. I'm 99% sure I saw your comment before.

[@obedreyes7737]

So basically how they did it in fredy vs jason where they treated fredy like a disease, seperated the ones affected by him and dosed those kids with drugs to prevent them from dreaming till he eventually disappears.

[@hlliexe]

Yupp pretty much. So we already knew how to beat him without this theory. Not surprised thou.

[@grimtrix]

Seriously! i was like... this is the exact plot of FvJ. He didnt even bother to mention that this only works if EVERYONE takes the drugs and stops dreaming... because Freddy can still posses others and come after you.

[@jeremylemings]

Exactly. MAOI for those just starting to be affected, adding in Acetylcholine blockers and medically induced comas for those more troubled but not dead yet.

[@obedreyes7737]

@PoppinHeadz03 that's because he was loose again and regain power due to people remembering him. Remember in the movie the town people didnt even want to mention his name. That's the main reason he even brought Jason back. Was to trick people and reminding him of what he is capable of doing.

[@obedreyes7737]

@PoppinHeadz03 that's why they put the ones that couldn't stop dreaming in a coma my friend ;) remember? Before fredy got into the guys body to dispose of the drugs to stop dreaming. rewatch the film.. I'm surprise he didnt comment at all about it.

[@motleythewild]

"No known causes of death caused by lack of sleep in humans" Mat, have you heard of Fatal Insomnia? It's extremely rare, but there have been around a dozen documented cases. And I don't think I have to go digging to figure out what happened to those cases... given the name of the disorder.
