"Dream Warriors" is a hard rock song written and performed by the band Dokken in 1986. The song was written specifically for the 1987 film A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. First released as a single, the song appeared on the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Official Motion Picture Soundtrack on the Varese Sarabande label.
A music video for "Dream Warriors" was produced in which Dokken made an appearance. They are seen performing the song composited against mock-up sets from the movie. The video also includes clips from the film itself. Throughout the course of the video, Freddy Krueger appears and attacks each of the band members one by one, dragging them away. At the conclusion of the video, Freddy awakens in his own bed and realizes that his entire experience with Dokken was just a dream. Breathing a sigh of relief, Freddy exclaims "Whew! What a nightmare!"
