Artist Statement: The dream weaver is a spirit that takes thoughts from your mind: pulling them together, he forms dreams. Depending on your thoughts, he will decide whether to give you a wonderful dream or to turn them into a hellish nightmare where there is no escape. The mask's bottom face is the person having the dream. The face's teardrop is the man forming a separate dream: the dream weaver can give you more than one dream at a time. The top figure is the dream weaver himself pulling thoughts and images out of your subconscious. Near Raven (the half-formed figure flowing into a shoulder), you can see through to the back, where the weaver's spirit protector is guarding over him, ready to devour any evil spirits that may be lurking around.
