Dr. Quack with the Dream Watcher, from Sonic the Hedgehog #43.
The Dream Watcher was a device created by Dr. Quack in order for Sonic to enter the mind of the comatose King Acorn, who was suffering from the side-effects of crystallization due to his exposure to the Zone of Silence. The device was used in the hope of contacting him and possibly finding the source of the crystallization process that was affecting the king.[1]
