Dream Protectors

When we sleep at night, we lose the sense of reality. Dreams are all-encompassing, and the rational mind fades. How do we navigate dreams that curdle into terrifying nightmares, waking us in panic, fear, or dread?

As a blind veteran with PTSD, I experience night terrors quite frequently. Instead of a dream catcher, wouldn't it be wonderful for all of us to have a Dream Protector?

I made these Dream Protectors as friendly sprites that will watch over you at night while you sleep—protecting the dreams you experience and keeping you safe. Each one contains additional messages in Braille, my second language.

As depicted through the Dream Protectors' textured skin, we all have scars. Some are external; others are wounds that are impossible for others to see. But those scars shape our interactions and our ability to have empathy for ourselves and others.

I deeply hope that my Dream Protectors can bring you peace when you sleep.
