Falling Asleep

In A Nightmare on Elm Street (NES), there is a sleep meter indicated at the top of the screen, rather than the health bar (though the player can take a few hits). When it is finally empty, the player falls asleep and transitions their way into the dream world accompanied by this haunting chromatic descent.

The song was composed by David Wise using assembly in Rare's sound driver.
