Story Behind The Song
Interesting how people gravitate to dreamcatchers. We all know the concept , to sort the dreams and only let the good dreams through to the sleeper and make the bad dreams get eternally lost.
Song Description
Singer is sensitive to world troubles, has bad dreams and finds sudden hope in the old Apache vendor. Eye to eye he saw her need, she ran through the panorama of dreaded thoughts ending with calm assurance he transmits to her. He is an old man with his blue tarp tent and hand made goods, but he lives as much spiritually as physically.

Lyrics
1126 Dreamcatcher w/m V.Penny Gottsche
V1 - I found him at the market under his blue tarp tent
I'd thought about this trip for weeks and finally went
the old Apache came from the desert southwest
I believed his magic was my only hope left
Rise- They hung all around him turning in the breeze
dreamcatchers with pretty feathers and beads
Chorus - Dreamcatcher I'm counting on you
do your thing and only let the good dreams through
a nickel a nightmare I'd be a rich girl
Dreamcatcher, give it a whirl
V2- Such trouble in this world today scares me to death
I sleep then I'm awake, I can't catch my breath
I found my old Apache friend in the nic of time
gotta get some of his spirit world here in mine
Rise- They hung all around him turning in the breeze
dreamcatchers with pretty feathers and beads
Chorus - Dreamcatcher I'm counting on you
do your thing and only let the good dreams through
a nickel a nightmare I'd be a rich girl
Dreamcatcher, give it a whirl
Channel- The past flowed like a river when I looked into his eyes
kemosabe fork tongue Injun pony run run
blood brother cries
V3- A trail of suffering now wisdom and peace
brought me back to the face of the old Apache
he'd read my soul he knew my need
a Dreamcatcher with pretty feathers and beads
Rise- They hung all around him turning in the breeze
dreamcatchers with pretty feathers and beads
Chorus - Dreamcatcher I'm counting on you
do your thing and only let the good dreams through
a nickel a nightmare I'd be a rich girl
Dreamcatcher, give it a whirl (Dreamcatcher- ooo)
I'm counting on you (Dreamcatcher- ooo)
only let the good dreams through
