... I wouldn't be able to find the Pokemon. It's a male Murkrow but I'm still happy.
My technique is to quickly move from screen to screen (I count to 3 quickly on each step) until I find the berry. The Pokemon is always 1 or 2 steps away from the berry. I move two steps away in either direction and hit the 'listen carefully' button.
"... near ..." means that the Pokemon is 1 step away.
"... not far ..." means that the Pokemon is 2 steps away (usually in the case of a fork in the path).
" ... can't hear ..." means that the Pokemon is on the other side of the berry.
" ... must be ..." means that the pokemon is there (obviously, but I thought I'd be thorough).
I usually get the 'find the Pokemon' game done in 30 seconds or so ...

Absol's Dream by Kylie123
First, I harvested my berries, bought the last of the Items in my dream Catalog and redecorated my home. I then visited the Island of dreams a few times. I played with and befriended ten or eleven Pokemon (I usually pass on the opportunity to play games with Pokemon who's female I already have in my game, so I don't befriend many more than one page or so), just one female a Buneary(luckily I didn't already have one) even though I went to the Spooky Manor twice (at least 4 empty steps each time, no items, no Pokemon ... empty). I ended the Dream with visiting all my friends houses and even having enough time to check out the houses of their friends and their friends and their friends, to check shelves and use up the rest of the water in my pail (which I did) ... then I went to Serebii.net and wrote about it

Edit :
You need to change your privacy settings for the account then.
On the global link website, log in, click on your profile, click on privacy settings, then change your settings to 'everyone'.
Now you'll be able to see other peoples' islands. I had that problem when I first played my Japanese Black online - it was automatically set to 'nobody' and I can't read Japanese...
Thanks guys I did this on my Black game and it's much better now ... I had to go to Pokemon dot com instead of the global link to change my privacy settings there, but I was able to get there easily from the global link. Now I can start making dream friends with my Black game. Thanks again.
