Trivia[]
A Crystallizer of Dreams appears as an item in Call of Cthulhu. From: Malleus Monstrorum Volume I: Monsters of the Mythos:
Crystallizers of Dreams (a.k.a. Hearts of Dream) are rare items, much sought after by those who know and understand their abilities. Known by different names, many of which have cultural associations or are related to the land of dream, these devices have garnered much conflicting folklore around them.
These strange artifacts usually take the form of a red crystalline egg or cube run through with jagged lines of yellow material. A Crystallizer is used to view other places in dream, which could be distant lands, planets, and other dimensions. In addition, these devices can enable their users to physically bring items or living things back with them from the Dreamlands (if such things are held by the user when entering or exiting a dream).
