<P> Freddy is a dream - demon who attacks his victims from within their dreams . He is commonly identified by his burned , disfigured face , red - and - green striped sweater , brown fedora , and trademark metal - clawed brown leather glove only on his right hand . This glove was the product of Krueger 's own imagination , the blade having been welded by himself . Robert Englund has said many times that he feels the character represents neglect , particularly that suffered by children . The character also more broadly represents subconscious fears . </P>
