This painting is a healing-dream shield.
For to free your dream is to heal.

The EAGLE FEATHERS are placed at the top of the shield to denote "Spirit" – always first • The TURKEY FEATHERS are to symbolize the "gives-a-way" of our talents and gifts, given in order to achieve our dreams and aspirations • The OWL FEATHERS are part of this shield to honor the dream-giver and dreams given • The one RAVEN FEATHER is for "magic" – to believe in dreams and the potential of them • The PORCUPINE QUILLWORK with the horsehair is for the power and protection of the dream • The MEDICINE TIES are for the prayers of the manifestations of our dreams • The DREAM CATCHER is placed upon this shield for just that ­ to catch the dream. Also to honor spider – that wondrous creature who creates such beauty for her own body, her web • The LIZARD is for dreaming • The SNAKE is for the transmutation to occur • The FROG is for the cleansing of our spirit and with the CENTER OF THE FROG is the "light" of the Creator – where the spark of life, gifts and dreams originate • The ROBE is the color of enlightenment and within the robe are seen the DRAGONFLY – so we may see the illusions and not be confused by them. Also seen are the BUTTERFLY – so we may transform ourselves to meet the dream.

The message of this piece is to set the shield into motion – so you may now "SET FREE THE DREAM" – Dona Mares
