The first picture of Dreamcatcher and when the Dreamers were born.
Well, kinda, I colored over the photo to try and get it as close as possible, the actual photo will be on the TH lore seen I can post photos in traditional art there, but I wanted to show the picture that started it all.

The making of the Dreamer species
The Dreamer were a Concept in my head for many years before the first picture was made, I knew what I wanted even as a teen, I wanted something that would hold onto and protect the innocence of a child, it why a Dreamer can change to so many different forms just like a child can pretend and imagine themselves to be many different things, and like a child they have a hopeful innocence view on the world but not to be mistaken with naivete, they have strong moral and integrity values that were inspired by my Christian beliefs, and have an awareness of evil as evil and good as good.
the Dreamer became the Guardians and Shepherds of my Universe, with the ability to see the heart of others and the truth so they could help them, the Dreamer would be bright and colorful to help paint a world that had become dark without light, there my species of hope and overcoming adversity and long lasting faith.
However the Dreamers didn't get a face until 3/22/2012 with Dreamcatcher.
I had been struggling with the worst art block of my life that last almost 2 years. It happened after some harsh criticism I got with my first art show, while the show itself was a wonderful experience. Many of my family and friends showed up to support me but that kinda was the problem. My father was jealous and because I only sold one picture he used that to scold me about fantasy art and saying it will get me nowhere in life, and so I couldn't draw things from my imagination again...

The thing was I didn't do the show to sell anything. I didn't have any price on any of my artworks because I didn't want to sell any of my pictures. These were my babies as my mom would say, but I was told the lady was the mayor's wife so I felt obligated in selling her the picture of 2 kit foxes I done for the theme of the event. Even though I sold something when I had no intention to it still wasn't enough, so with those harsh words I stopped drawing all together.
If I couldn't draw something from my imagination then what could I do? Art was dead to me. I wanted to draw but it felt like a poison in my soul that lasted roughly 2 years.
However one day I had some leftover paint from a project and I'm not one to waste so I took a spare canvas and began to let my imagination take shape with colors of red, blue, yellow and green.
I didn't hear my fathers voice in my head, I wasn't thinking about a project or anything but moving the paint, and with that Dreamcatcher the first Dreamer was born. The dark days of art block were over! I finally let go and forgive my father and let myself believe that God can use my imagination for something other then money or fame.
It's why whenever I'm in a rut with my art I look back at my darkness time and remember the promise I made, that I never let art block hold me like that again, and to remember that yet again God can bring colors to a life without one, it's why out of all my species the Dreamers hold the most meaning and why they are a symbol of Hope and imagination in my worlds.
Two C.S lewis quotes that sums up the spirit of the Dreamers species
" life with God is Not immunity to difficulties but peace in difficulties"
" sense it is so likely children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of Brave knights and heroic courage "
And a Bible verse that is my reminder of God's grace and hope that only he can make all things new" For we are God's Masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. " - Ephesians 2:10

A lot has changed from when I first made the Dreamers and their time on colorslive, I learned a lot, both good and bad experience, a lot of hurt came from letting others into my world,
My and others faith and characters was tested and thought Soledormir keys RP is over, I know God had a plan in all of it.
Just like the Bible verse, I know God can make all things new and I am seeing that happening with the new story that is being made with @LillyLightstar @Fluffy_inc and @GalaxyTheWolf x3
When I first started Skey I had prayed by myself that God would use the RP for his glory, but now I don't pray that prayer alone. My hope and prayers is that God would use the new story to honor and glorify him for all the wonderful things he has done for us <3
