Dream Catcher Analysis

Decent Essays
From busking the streets of Santa Monica to Pasadena, Katie Ferrara's carefree determination have led her to share her sweet sounds of folk and pop. Upon her latest EP, released this past October, Dream Catcher embodies the heart developed through Ferrara's travels. The Los Angeles native and her 6-track bliss, becomes a stance on wishful thinking, and as Ferrara states, "following your dreams." Paired with loving melodies and beautiful harmonizing, Ferrara creates a warmth at the end of each listen, which is just what one needs as the days get colder.

Ferrara has always been a memorable voice, recalling her cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," with Lucy LaForge and Kaitlin Wolfberg back in August. Dream Catcher allows a listener to truly experience

    o we live in reality, or is reality just a dream? In The Unavoidable Dream Problem, James T. M. Miller asks the question, can know if we are not dreaming much like Dominick Cobb did in Inception? Firstly, Miller explained why the use of a totem to confirm if you are in reality of a dream is flawed. Let’s use Cobb’s totem as an example, which is a metal, spinning top.
