Alice Johnson

Alice Johnson also known as the Dream Master is one of the main protagonists of the Nightmare on Elm Steets

   alongside Nancy Thompson, to be more precise 4 and 5.

## Appearance

In the 4th Nightmare on Elm Street story she had red hair with an outfit of a black jacket and jeans.

In the 5th Nightmare on Elm Street story she had changed to blonde hair with comfetble clothing as she was pregnant.

## Personality

Alice has many different aspects to her personality, and her personality develops greatly during her confrontation with Freddy Krueger.

In *The Dream Master*, Alice first appears as a quiet, socially awkward girl who lacks the confidence to talk to people, and helpless in terms of defending herself.

The most prominent feature of Alice's is her obsession with dreaming.

She often day dreaming things that she doesn't dare to do in real life. Though her friends' death deeply saddens her, Rick Johnson and Kristen Parker in particular, each death of her friends comes a new ability or attribute that enables her to face Freddy.

After Rick's death, as she is able to stand up for herself against her alcoholic father, and develop the necessary courage and abilities that makes her a fearsome nemesis of Freddy Krueger.

At the end, she is able to recall a nursery rhyme that forces the evil to face itself.

In *The Dream Child*, although she is no longer the shy girl she once was, Alice remains a gentle, modest figure and doesn't want to draw too much attention on herself.

She displays a sarcastic sense of humor.

Though she shows great concerns after she realizes Freddy can get into her dreams while she is awake, and Dan's death has deeply saddened her, she doesn't fall into depression and it's her morality and courage that enable her to eventually defeat Krueger once again.

She greatly adores her unborn child Jacob, and has a fiery attitude to Dan's parents who attempt to coerce her to let them adopt Jacob once he is born.

## Dream Powers

Alice was the Dream Master, or the guardian of the Positive Gate, the gateway to good dreams.

And as such, she had the power (and responsibility) to guard the sleeper whilst they dreamed.

Being the Dream Master, Alice had the unique ability to absorb the Dream Powers of Freddy's victims.

Whenever Freddy killed and absorbed the soul of one of her friends, she would automatically absorb that very same victim's Dream Power.

A unique side-effect of Alice's Dream Master power was that it also worked to some extent outside of the dream, or whenever she was awake.

For example, after Kristen was killed by Freddy and her soul absorbed, Alice began to say and do things that were normally attributed to Kristen (smoking for example).

She later began to repeat the mottoes of her friends, such as "we've got matching luggage," "mind over matter," or her brother's battle cry of "banzai!".

So it can be assumed that her Dream Master power had some strong empathic attributes.

Alice later uses most, if not all, of the dream powers she absorbed from Freddy's victims during her battle with him.

She most notably used her brother's dream power of karate mastery and Sheila's power to charge the sound frequency device to shoot a powerful sonic laser beam through Freddy's abdomen.

It can also be assumed she used Kristen's dream power of gymnastics mastery as she performed Olympic-level aerial flips and back flips during her fight with Freddy as well as the other Dream Warriors's powers.

On an important note, Alice also wielded some ability to guard the dreamer whilst they dreamed. This was shown when Kristen was dreaming and she meets a little girl outside of Nancy's old house and on the beach. This little girl was in fact a younger version of Alice that acted as a remnant of her dream guardian power. This version of Alice didn't display much power, other than having the ability to possibly sense Freddy's incoming presence. Aside from Kristen, Alice never acted as a direct guardian for other dreamers whilst they slept. The exact reason for this is unknown.

Before she died, Kristen also passes on her  telepathic power to pull people into her dreams to Alice as a last minute resort to help Alice defend herself against Freddy.

However, the power flowed into Freddy first before passing into Alice,because of this each time Alice dreamed, she would accidentally pull one of her closest loved ones into the dream with her, thus allowing Freddy to easily devour her friends' souls.

This power hindered Alice for the most part of the movie before she fully embraced her Dream Master power to defeat Freddy.

Alice displays her dream power again in The Dream Child, but this time Freddy is also hiding in her body, waiting for his chance.

After Alice becomes pregnant with Jacob, Freddy quickly gets into Jacob's mind, connects his dreams to Alice, and uses Alice's dream power to bring him victims.

Because of the many feats she was able to perform with her Dream Master power, Alice is easily one of the more powerful characters introduced.

She was Freddy's supernatural opposite in the dream world.

While Freddy absorbed souls, Alice too would grow stronger with each death by absorbing someone's dream power, which finally makes her from a normal daydreamer, into a Nightmare Legend.
