Dream Keeper

Bring me all your dreams,
You dreamers,
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.

                --Langston Hughes

About the Project

The Dream Flag Project is an extension of what happened when sixth-grade classes learned about Buddhist prayer flags and learned that you can print out poems on fabric. The prayer flags are ancient Sanskrit prayers printed on fabric and hung on a line. They blow in the breeze to take the prayers to the spirits.

In class, each student wrote a dream poem, printed it on a special kind of 81/2" x 11" fabric, and painted it with watercolors. Then the flags were hung on a line to blow each person's dreams across the sky.

And the dream flags were born. Now we invite everyone to join in, because we need the dreams.
