| Rule | Explanation | |-------|-------------| | Dream death = real death | No exception in main series (except possession in Part 2). | | Pulling Freddy into real world | Makes him vulnerable (used in 1, 3, FvJ). | | Fear gives Freddy power | Lack of fear weakens or dismisses him. | | Dream powers | Only in Dream Warriors — not in other films. | | Freddy’s weakness | Being forgotten. He needs to be remembered/feared to exist. |
