Consider this simple solution, works perfect

private let DimmingViewTag = 10001

extension UIViewController: SWRevealViewControllerDelegate {    

    func setupMenuGestureRecognizer() {

        revealViewController().delegate = self

        view.addGestureRecognizer(revealViewController().panGestureRecognizer())
        view.addGestureRecognizer(revealViewController().tapGestureRecognizer())
    }

    //MARK: - SWRevealViewControllerDelegate

    public func revealController(revealController: SWRevealViewController!, didMoveToPosition position: FrontViewPosition) {

        if case .Right = position {

            let dimmingView = UIView(frame: view.frame)
            dimmingView.tag = DimmingViewTag

            view.addSubview(dimmingView)
            view.bringSubviewToFront(dimmingView)

        } else {
            view.viewWithTag(DimmingViewTag)?.removeFromSuperview()
        }
    }
}

Simple usage in UIViewController:

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

    setupMenuGestureRecognizer()
}
