Crystallizer of Dreams

The Crystallizers of Dreams are fictional artefacts in the Cthulhu Mythos. They were first mentioned in The Render of the Veils by Ramsey Campbell and then expanded by Chaosium for their Call of Cthulhu RPG. They are described as being able to transport the consciousness of a person to another dimension. (: The Render of the Veils)
==Description==
A Crystallizer looks like a yellow egg having a diameter of about a foot. It periodically emits a strange intermittent whistling (: The Render of the Veils). It sounds hollow when tapped and looks fragile, but actually weights about twenty pounds. The Crystallizers require no magical source and automatically act on the closest person sleeping near them within ten yards. (: The Keeper's Companion)
If a person sleeps near a Crystallizer, the consciousness of that person will automatically be transported to distant lands such as Yuggoth and Tond, the Dreamlands, or even other dimensions (: The Render of the Veils). The dreams are so realistic, the dreamers can even interact with that world, bring back items to his or her own world, or even be killed in the dreams (: The Keeper's Companion).
The Crystallizers of Dreams belong to the Elder God Hypnos and are not intended to be used by anyone but him, so there is a 10% chance of attracting his attention anytime someone uses a Crystallizer. Once notices, Hypnos will send the guardians of the Crystallizers of Dreams to retrieve the Crystallizers and severely punishes the users by trapping their souls forever in the court of Hypnos, never to be awakened again. (: The Keeper's Companion)
==In the Mythos==
The Crystallizers of Dreams are mentioned in both the Necronomicon (: The Render of the Veils) and the Revelations of Glaaki (: The Inhabitant of the Lake).
