Description
Allows a dreamer to search for another by name. If the target is in the city, Locate Dreamer will return the name of the plane they are on. If the user is on the same plane as the target, Locate Dreamer will return the name of the room. If the target is not dreaming, the art will say so.
Locate Dreamer also allows the user to compile a list of names, which is saved. The entire list may be searched in one evoke, but will only return the plane that each dreamer is on.
Without the name of a dreamer, Locate can not be used to find them.
Plateau Effect
Decreased evoke time.
Art Research
To talk of Locate Dreamer, we must also look into the workings of Mind Blank. There are roughly three different schools of thought on Mind Blank. - One, that there is one part of our Avatar that is inherently unique in each one of us, but will not harm us if deactivated. If that theory holds true, Locate Dreamer merely finds the unique signature of the Avatar it seeks and reports it's location to the evoker. - The second major theory is that our Souls, when blanked, merely report selective information. When not blanked they are analogous to an open book. If this is true, then Locate dreamer looks upon the spine of the book, to make sure it exists, and then onto the pages, if they are not blank, to see what the content (location) is. - Finally, there is a third and more minor school of thought. It believes that when we evoke Locate Dreamer it sends a message to some sort of center Dream Control. If this Dream control has not been blocked by Mind Blank, it will report the location back of the dreamer in question.
So as you can see there are many theories but very few solid facts.
Art History
Notes
Mindblank prevents its target from being found using Locate Dreamer. In this case, the art returns a notification saying that the target has been mindblanked.
Locate Dreamer can be used on Daymares and Darkmares. If used on a nightmare, it will simply say "The nightmares are everywhere!"
