”His mind taken over, his body no longer his. He robbed the world of its prayers, and lost his own, to die and be in peace.”


DreamerIcon Dreamer is one of the fifteen Hosts featured in HOURS. It can be obtained by overclocking on every first page Tempo, and have obtained the Hands of Time gamepass.

Description[]

Dreamer is mainly a ranged host and is known for his poor health but high damage. It is what is known as a "Glass Cannon" type of host.

Upon reaching Phase 2 of Light Beneath Closed Eyes with Dreamer, the game shows its true name, Whitespace.

Appearance[]

Dreamer's appearance is identical to that of Resident Mind: A completely white humanoid with two black eyes while constantly floating above the ground.

Playstyle[]

Dreamer is the Host version of Resident Mind, and promotes a hardcore playstyle. Although his Milliseconds passive grants enemies higher HP and reduces his own maximum HP, his upgrades granting him the ability to deal more damage and his numerous abilities makes up for this.

Dreamer is mainly used to rack up DPS and smother enemies before they even get a chance to react. However, using these moves require Energy, a passive mechanism for Dreamer. This requires players to plan ahead and prepare in the eventuality they cannot attack. Dreamer also has low HP, meaning players will have to try avoid damage at all times.

Tips and Tricks[]

  • Because Dreamer floats, he doesn't get damaged by Nightmare Catcher's traps or Toxic Teapot's poison pools.
  • Using Overclocked Zero, you can rack up serious damage with Dreamer very quickly.
  • By using Overclocked Clip, you can deal insane damage if you use eruption, then immediately use the tempo twice in quick succession.
  • By repeatedly using Overclocked Omit and Coalescence, you can beat Seconds mode easily if you are careful enough.
    • While Overclocked Omit is active, deactivate it, use Coalescence then try to dodge the enemy attacks for 5 seconds, then activate Omit again; rinse and repeat until the desired result is met.
    • This could also work with Sear if you have Energy Beam, as the damage stacks


Chromashift[]


Trivia[]

  • Resident Mind and the Dreamer are two separate entities, despite their identical appearances, similar lore bits, and matching movesets. His description may suggest they are the same entity, however this falls upon entering the final stage with Dreamer (up to interpretation).
  • The Dreamer becomes the fastest Host in the game while using his Hover ability. Aside from this, the fastest host is DrifterIcon Drifter.
  • Dreamer is the only host that fights exclusively with magic. This does not apply to BuffoonIcon Buffoon as it gains an upgrade that allows it to perform a dropkick attack.
  • WitnessIcon Witness and Dreamer are the only hosts that use an instrument as a weapon.
  • Dreamer wields five (two if not counting obtainable moves) out of nine attacks in the game that are capable of damage a flying Fallen Dread. These attacks are Burst, Eruption, Telekinetic Rupture, Upheaval, and Signature Move.
  • Milliseconds is the only Passive Ability that directly affects enemy HP.
  • If Chromashift is enabled, Dreamer's skin and attacks change to match Chromashift's selected color (albeit lighter) and his eyes become white.
  • Dreamer is the only boss in the form of a Host that does not gain maximum HP from upgrades.
  • Dreamer's name may reference his lore's mention of "all the world's prayers".
  • Dreamer may have played a part in the downfall of HOURS' setting into the 'Sunken City', because of his description stating that he "robbed the world of its prayers" along with his immense power.
