As I stare upon the stars on my ceiling My mind wanders the possibilities I could be somewhere else right now Filling me with an unknown feeling I could be in a tragedy Or I could be in a television film I could've been lying in the grass Free of any catastrophe A dreamcatcher dangles infront of my window. Tormenting me about the dreams I will never achieve Yet it is said to bring luck to people around The rumor the remnant of a shadow I took it with a grain of salt The rumours, the lies Yet it brought me hope To know that I still have time

Dreamcatcher
“I dream; therefore, I am,” said the sage. \ Will my dreams come to fruition? \ I beseech Jah, The Transcendent One \ That I might attain the fulfillment of the promise. \ When Jah & Jesus sought \ To consecrate me \ I resisted them, \ I did not fathom myself worthy. \ I was enfettered by my Sea of Iniquities \ & unable to disentangle, liberate myself \ From the onerous & lethal wages \ Of Sin & Death. \ But now I have been emancipated, —experienced manumission \ By the Hand of The Deific Divine: \ My dreamcatcher, \ My salvific benison. \ To The Transcendent Dreamcatchers: \ Thank you for life, love, liberty, & your embrace. \ —You are Freedom, you are The Emblematization of Emancipation, you are The Insignia of Liberty; \ Therefore, you grant me the wings to soar. \ Please continue to be my aegis \ Your name being a bulwark against The Nightmarish Wraith of Tremulousness. \ Apropos of your Holy Spirit \ I wield a Bastion Heart. \ (—Se’ lah) 09-26-2025

deep in a stargazing trance i stumble through the night in the darkest hour a star-crossed lover's stupor bewitched by constellation filled eyes tangled in star studded netting and silently screaming - i am not a frightful nightmare - nor a heavenly dream - merely flesh, bones, lungs, heart... the closing of night still woven in intricate webbing the rising sun's warmth 'tis but the scorch of fate's kiss i shall smoulder and disappear with perspiring flesh shivering bones panting lungs pounding heart... jolted awake 'twas but a dream?

Dreamcatcher, dreamcatcher Why did I dream that I die tonight I’m not sure I wanna fall asleep this time Monster, monster Under the bed is just a tale Made out of fear and confusion But when the night comes Dark thoughts and spirits appear Conquering my world around me Creepin’ out on me Out of the blue Burnin’ the good inside of me Leavin’ nothing but ashes Who am I What am I doing Can’t find myself Lost in the wood of my own despair I’m just a soul, wandering around

The wonderer
When sweet morning dawns giving dreamcatcher sight, the bad dreams flee unable to survive in light Dream catchers are the magic trick to capturing your nightmares or so they say Caught like flies in a spindly web, guiding you to the morning when you've lost your way Hope it's gone for good Not to return in the coming nights Setting them free, never to return to that fight They never say how to empty them or release the dreams, so I make a mosaic or poem out of it to set them free Dream catchers attempt to make you feel better to sleep Don’t hesitate to worry if you try and peek No matter how long No matter how short Your beautiful nightmare Will get trapped and restored Waking up slightly confused But yet wanting more Let the cobwebs do its job For when you fall asleep at night Your dreams will be caught, and not lost

Dreamcatcher
Netted on the outside Dreams pass through the inside. The good dreams seep the center, The bad dreams are caught: DO NOT ENTER! The sleeper with eyes shut, Protected by the dreamcatcher And selected by the buy-snatcher, Slumbers in peace When all is at ease Around the dreamcatcher police. Reality is still But the mind is awake And sleep is at stake. Eyes cannot detect What the dreamcatcher does, It only sways in the midst of a glance. But the dreams that pass the glass dividing atmospheric gas Cannot be seen, touched, heard. Dreamcatchers have a radar That no being does. The dreams charge at once! WOOOOSH. Not a dream is heard Caught in the dreamcatcher grid, But the good ones Keep clean the REM zones. Native-American tradition I will surely petition.

Dreamcatcher Rap
She would come With the Whispers of the dark. Would witness, The flowers barking And branches fighting Would see, The leaves of the maple Laughing on my fears Gossiping about my dream They would steal hope Every night from my soul And I'd be left in the dark But her hand Full of warmth and love Would caress my cheeks And I , for she is too gentle Would hold her tight She then would make my Nightmares turn into day dreams She would turn black into rainbow And make me taste ecstasy For she is My dream catcher

Throughout our lives we've been told by these old souls that dreamcatchers are to protect against terrors. It's a shame we believe this lie that something so beautiful collects evil, what a sad misunderstanding, just human error. How unfortunate that even though the name of the thing spells out its nature, we throw logic aside until the truth is severed. We use the term 'dream catcher,' yet try to deny it's offering to catch all of the good dreams forever. They exist for you & I, so let's recognize the blessing they were sent to be; if we learn to trust, they will become supporters of our divine identity - That is, dreamers.

Dreamcatchers get a bad wrap
As a child, I walked on the swollen grass Surfing my hand through whispering flowers I fixed my dream to catch the rising sun Afloat like a kite behind the mountain My feet glide fast on the broken path I pulse and I pulse and the day is hot Yet my eyes shine with sparkling dreams To get to the sun; To know what it means Alas there's a time, when my feet lose the dark My dream now stares straight down at me atlast But when the day confines & evening comes Sun sits on flowers, myself on mountains Oh sweet Dreamcatcher, you were honey-trapped Is such the worldly nature of things? I ask Once and once I wanted to touch the sun She said the night shall pass & the day shall come

The Dreamcatcher
I was placed above you as a child You used to giggle at my feathers and beads You were safe when I watched you 31 years ago I swayed softly above your crib Protected you from the dark clouds that came at night You slept peacefully as I guarded you You hung me on the corner of your bed when you turned three Your mother sang you softly to sleep beside me The songs of her parents and her grandparents and those who came before You hung me on your mirror when you were thirteen Your new house was strange but I was your constant You knew you were safe At eighteen you placed me in a box Took me with you across the country You hung me on your bunk Twenty-two and we move again You place me on your mirror again But now I protect you and another Today you hang me on another crib The little baby looks just like you She sleeps peacefully just like you did, 31 years ago

Interconnected webs of string, strategically woven and knotted, and adorned with beautifully painted beads. Some way, somehow, this hand-crafted creation is said to hold captive all nightmares that had ever dawned on me. What an immaculate thing this could turn out to be, if it were to play its part, even when we are not asleep. Because truth is, the real demons that we have, are not only those that appear in our nightmares, but rather the ones we fight day to day.

In the dark night I was prevented from my satisfying slumber, as I was troubled by my rooms dark corner. Though my eyes were soon to be sealed, may my dreamcatcher cure me from this dreadful darkness to be revealed. Thankfully, the dreamcatcher protected me through this night, as I was navigated to an existence so bright. I was floating above the sea as I saw the lights of thousand beaconing lighthouses from these ongoing heights. Keenly guided from all insecurities, I now clearly see the seas of opportunities.

Like lucid dreams entrapped   within a circlet ornately adorned    A sweetest love conceived    but can't be borne     Trailing feathers      billowing light as rain        Starkness in ink        blot reckless in heavy stain      Strings strung taut    attempting to keep all in place   Dream catcher sways by the window, free and chaste

Some people are like beautiful dreamcatchers, absorbing the most terrible things for those they love and leaving them only the softest, gentlest thoughts behind.

He says words I've already heard before Looking for that special someone I've never seen before Nothing seems right Am I clinging on to my dream to tight Away with the wind I run To find where my heart belongs I'm falling undone I'll know when I get there There's a place with open arms I'll belong I'll stay for long And laugh for hours No more pain from this stain I'll have my super powers I run so far I'm almost there If I could just hurry up and unlock that door if I dare... Then reality pulls me back Was it the door or my eyes I cracked My eyes gleam open and my body shovers I saw an Angel floating just right above my covers

My mind is wandering Going to places I've never been Trying to acquire wisdom But all I've got is boredom Procrastination is my enemy And laziness is envy I am chasing a dream Should I wake up now or stay asleep??

I cannot understand Am I dreaming beneath the living? Tell me if it’s just a part of my forty winks Coz I’m rusted by chance when fully awake. Why are dreams so large and You forget it in a momentary climb? The departed stories are so dear That they never come to pass in life The impossible happenings with strings And things I’ll never find are so ideal. The scars are reasoned and seasoned But it was perfect when I was asleep. I was dead to the world, totally ignored Leaving one earth for a different one Was so brilliant when I was buried. But I realize I was not just dreaming I was stitching them into reality, Let me catch all my dreams That they might never happen again!

beautiful nightmare
Frown upon my withered heart! and wipe away my tears. Catch the nightmares, catch my dreams, ensnare my childish fears. Protect me, Catcher, put me down and watch me sleep to-day. the worries they encase me, my dream’s the price I pay. The morning comes unfiltered the cycle is broken for now Oh Catcher! my Catcher! My faithful night snatcher! Laid a kiss on my wavering brow.
