AN- Hello there faithful readers, and readers who have just started reading my humble little story, and readers who won't read this story until it's complete (they will be waiting for a while). I have a few words to say. First off I appreciate everyone for taking the time to read my story, you all seem to like it so far so I must be doing something right, though I have been getting a lot of complaints about my horrible grammar. Well to all who complained I have good news. My older brother found out I was writing this and offered to edit my grammar and such. So now if you find any problems you can blame him for not catching them. On another note here on out most chapters will have past and present portions and I would like to help try to clear up any confusion.

"Talking"- in and out of dreams.

Thoughts- I know before I had thoughts like 'this' and I'm terribly sorry for changing it, but I'll admit I didn't have this part planned out. It was one of the many things I needed to solve before I got to the dreams. In the dreams 'catchers' communicate via thoughts.

"The 'catcher's' thoughts"- Beast Boy or Raven's thoughts when in the memories/dreams.

'other guests'-Raven's Emotions and The Beast

Again sorry for the changes and the really long AN.

Disclaimer: So I checked and I'm 110% positive that I do not own the Teen Titans. It's owned by DC Comics and Cartoon Network. Enjoy the next installment of Dream Catcher!

The Teen Titans had just gotten back to the tower after a day-long chase with Johnny Rancid and Ding Dong Daddy. They had been captured and arrested at about midday, but they were so far away from Jump City that it took two hours just to get back. Then they had to drop off the captured villains at Jump City's high security prison for super criminals. It had been four o'clock before they made it home, and they were exhausted.

"I haven't been this tired since the last time Raven chased me around the tower before throwing me out of a window," Beast Boy exclaimed.

"That was three days ago," Cyborg replied with a smirk. This was greeted with several small chuckles, since everyone was too tired to laugh.

"Just don't fall asleep, we still need to set up the spell," Raven stated.

"What spell?" Robin asked.

"A spell that's gonna make me 'n Rae dream about each other," Beast Boy replied with a smirk as he plopped onto their giant couch. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg went wide eyed as they turned to Raven, mouths open.

"You three would make excellent Venus fly traps, if it wasn't for the fact that the only fly around here is Beast Boy," she said without looking up as she made herself a cup of tea. "And don't call me Rae, Beast Boy." This broke Robin out of his stupor.

"What kind of spell are we talking about here?" Raven explained the spell to the others while Beast Boy did his best to entertain himself so he wouldn't fall asleep.

"This doesn't sound like your average hocus pocus magic, Raven. Where'd you hear about it," Cyborg asked with a grin, almost as if he knew the answer. Raven turned a light shade of pink.

"It's from a- well, it's from a book on arcane bonding for, um..."

"For couples?" Robin inquired when he caught on. All eyes were now on her, including Beast Boy.

"Yes." Raven was now bright red and she pulled up her hood to hide her blush. Before Robin and Cyborg could respond, Starfire squealed.

"Glorious! Friends Raven and Beast Boy have revealed their feelings of love and are now doing the dating!" Robin and Cyborg burst out laughing while Beast Boy turned a strange shade of purple due to his green skin.

"We are not dating; it's just that it seemed like the best way for us to..." Raven began.

"To get to know each other on a deeper level." Cyborg mocked between laughs.

"C'mon Rae, these chuckleheads obviously don't know what they're talking about." You could never like me like that, he thought to himself. "Let's just go set up this dream catcher thingy."

"Dream catcher thingy?"

"What? That's what I'm calling it." He defended as they began to walk down the hall towards Raven's room.

"Technically, it would be 'catching' memories, so..."

"Don't ruin my labels with your-" he paused, looking for the right word.

"Logic?" she offered.

"Yeah, that stuff."

"Don't worry, you would have figured it out eventually."

"You know it!" He smirked. They walked in silence the rest of the way to her room, and Beast Boy hesitated. Raven doesn't like it when I go in her room.

"Just don't touch anything." He gave her a weird look. "You can come in, but I am not responsible for anything that happens to you."

"Ok," he squeaked as he walked in. It was exactly how he remembered it; even her mirror was in the exact same place as when he went inside her mind. Hey, maybe I'll find out how she got that thing, or even why. He gave the mirror a wide berth, and Raven smirked when she noticed.

"Let's get started." She went over to her dresser and picked up a rounded gem, he guessed it was an emerald.

"I didn't know you had such pretty things in here."

"If you did, you'd risk coming in here more often, and I'd end up fishing you out of more dimensions than I know I have hidden around here," she teased as she drew a circle of chalk on her laminate blue floor. "Step inside here," she ordered. He did as he was told. "Both of our foreheads will need to be touching the stone in order for the spell to work." Both of them blushed at the implications.

"Let me guess, since you got the spell from your 'Bonding for Wizards' book, the directions say to kiss."

"No, but it was implied afterwards to, well, seal the deal."

"We don't have to if you don't want to."

"No, it's fine. I just didn't want to put you in an awkward position."

"Let's just do it," he said every bit uncomfortable as she was. Neither of them wanted their first kiss to be so scripted and formal. They stepped close to one another and Raven held the emerald between their foreheads, resting just above Raven's chakra. Raven's hands glowed blue and she began writing symbols in the air.

"Visa mihi praeteritorum malorum meorum amantis." [*] Her voice rang out loud and clear, sounding almost otherworldly. They could feel one another's breath on their lips, and they quickly closed the distance into a chaste kiss. It lasted longer than they expected, since neither one wanted to pull away nor they expected the other to. When they pulled away, they stared into one another's eyes, thinking the same thing. What I wouldn't give for that to have been real. They realized they were still close and practically jumped away. They both felt a tingly feeling on their lips and in their stomachs.

"Is that tingly feeling typical for a spell like that?" Beast Boy asked, not sure if it was the kiss or the spell that left him that way.

"Yeah, let's just go with that," she replied in almost a whisper. An awkward silence claimed the air.

"So, um. I'm just gonna go now." Beast Boy said hesitantly.

"Ok," she replied, still staring off into space. Did that just happen? And he wasn't all grossed out; in fact, it looked like he reacted similar to how I did. Maybe he… She started to feel dizzy, and then collapsed. Darn it, Beast Boy. You had to go and… And with that she drifted off into her forced slumber.

Oh, man. Where am I? Beast Boy asked to no one in particular. He was on a floating rock surrounded by the night sky

'You are in between the waking world and Raven's subconscious.' He yelped and turned around, coming face to face with eight Raven look-alikes.

Awe man, I fainted didn't I. As soon as I kiss the girl I love and leave the room I faint! He stopped, eyes wide with fear, and face palmed. He realized that there were still people behind him. Then he realized that Raven's emotions were those people. Among her emotions was the incarnation of Raven's anger, most of which was usually focused on him. And she had just heard his accidental declaration of love. He turned to meet certain doom, but was met with a hug by a pink cloaked Raven that rivaled one of Starfire's.

'We love you too, BB!' She all but shouted in his ear, which with his sensitive hearing would be equivalent to a cicada buzzing in a regular person's ear.

'Cats outta the bag. Rae-Rae ain't gonna be too happy ya blabbed in his face like that.' An orange cloaked emotion smirked, followed by a burp. Beast boy noticed a blush on all the emotions' cheeks, excluding Rude and Rage, who was scowling in the back. Timid and the purple cloaked one's blushes were the brightest. He had never seen her before and had no idea who she was. Happy pulled away from the hug, which beast boy was too distracted to respond to.

'Heh heh, oopsies.'

Don't worry; everything will work out one way or another. He reassured them. He turned to Knowledge and asked, Where was it did you say I was?

'You're in Raven's mind, waiting for the dreams to start.' She looked around to her fellow emotions and said 'We voted, and decided we'd keep you company while you wait.'

How soon will it start?

'It should start right about...' And with that the scenery began to change. They found themselves in a large room with several women standing around a bed.

"Hurry up, she needs a damp towel!" One of the women shouted.

"Good job, Arella, just keep pushing."

"I didn't even want this thing!" Beast Boy now could see a sweaty woman on the bed. He positioned himself so that he wouldn't see anything by mistake, but could still know what was going on. "Azar, get it out of me!" This went on for a short while, the woman named Arella (who Beast Boy guessed was Raven's mother) would shout profanities while the other women would do their best to console her. Beast Boy heard one of them say, "I have not seen such a loud birth in my entire life."

"It must be an Earth custom," another replied.

Where on earth… Where are we? He corrected himself.

'On Azarath, now pay attention.' Knowledge replied. Just then, an ear splitting scream pierced the air, followed by the cry of an infant.

"It's a girl!" Any further celebration was cut off as a deep rumbling shook the room. Any lights were blown out by a magical wind that came out of nowhere, yet everywhere, leaving the room in darkness. This did not last long, for four glowing red eyes appeared out of nowhere. A deep, demonic voice shook the room as it spoke.

"The Gem was born of evil's fire,

The Gem shall be his portal,

He comes to claim, he comes to sire,

The end of all things mortal!"

With that, the room returned to normal, though Beast Boy could have sworn that the candles burned brighter and higher. Arella began to cry, before asking for her child, who cried along with her.

"Hush, my child. Everything will be alright." Eventually the baby quieted down and went to sleep. "Rachel, your name will be Rachel."

"No," said a voice from behind. Everyone turned to see a bald man in a habit walk into the room. "You are forbidden contact with this child. You know this Arella; we have discussed it many times."

"But your grace, I should at least be allowed to name her," Arella pleaded.

"It is demon spawn, and will be treated as such. Her name will be Raven, an omen of death and dark magic."

"But-"

"Silence, you heard the prophecy, foretold by Trigon himself!" He cut her off harshly. He sighed, and in a calmer voice said, "For your sake Arella we will allow it to stay here, that we may teach it to control itself. But, it will not remain here when the time comes."

"I understand," she said softly. The scene faded and Beast Boy felt himself slip into unconsciousness.

*******BBxRae*******

… Fall asleep. Raven found herself in the middle of an immense jungle. Am I in a memory? She wondered to herself. She waited for a while, but nothing was happening. Where am I? If I was in a memory I'd probably have seen something by now. Suddenly, she heard a loud roar from behind. She immediately turned around and found herself face to face with a large, green, cat like creature. And yet, it was also like a wolf, and larger than a grizzly bear. But what she noticed most was its eyes, the same eyes that she had nightmares about ever since she was injured by Adonis. His eyes were the only thing she remembered. And yet, they were different, familiar. She felt a feeling more primal than any she had ever felt before. She felt like prey. She recoiled in fear, and in her fear she failed to notice that the rest of the creatures face was not curled up in a snarl, but looked curious as though it was confused at her presence.

'What, Mate, has brought you into my territory?' The Beast asked. She notices that his lips did not move, yet she heard the deep rumbling by which it seemed he spoke.

Where am I? She asked, disregarding the fact that he called her 'Mate.'

'I asked first, and I won't repeat myself.' Raven understood that it was not a request.

I cast a spell that allows me to view Beast Boy's memories while we sleep. Now where am I? She might be terrified, but she wouldn't let him know that. The Beast seemed to smirk at her reply, though it looked more savage than it was.

'Your fear is unbecoming. The master speaks so highly of you, but I have yet to see any of the qualities that you are admired for.'

Your appearance reminds me of the monster that Adonis became when he attacked me.

'I know. I was there.' He reminded Raven of someone, only he was different.

Are you a part of Beast Boy? She asked.

'I am Beast Boy. Or rather, I am Beast Boy in his perfected form. The ultimate predator and alpha of the wilds.'

How are we able to communicate, you don't seem to be able to speak.

'I don't. Or at least, not in the sense of what you humans call speech. It is simple, but difficult to explain to such a complex species. This is the way things are in the wild, and the masters mind is connected to it.'

So I'm in Beast Boy's mind. That means he's probably with my emotions right now.

'You came to view the master's memories, yes?' She nodded. 'We will have the chance to talk later. This appears to be the master's memories of The Before.' Raven noticed that they were no longer in the middle of a jungle, but were on what Raven recognized as a savanna.

I've never been to Africa before. She mused. Just then she felt weird feeling pass through her body as a young blond boy with bright blue eyes around the age of five passed through her, laughing.

"Come and get me, daddy!" The little boy giggled uncontrollably as a tall man with dark brown hair and those same sparkling blue eyes, who Raven guessed was his father, burst through the tall grass and picked him up, blowing raspberries into his stomach.

"I got you, Gar." They both laughed together when a shorter woman with a backpack entered the clearing. She had blonde hair that was up in a bun and blue eyes like her husband, though they were slightly paler.

"Mark! You can't go running off to God knows where leaving me in the middle of the savanna!" She complained playfully, and anyone could tell that she was only teasing.

"Marie, you probably got distracted by a termite hill or saw a meerkat, and I had to go out and find our little Garfield because of it," he teased back.

"But daddy, didn't you start the game of hide and seek?" The two adults both broke out laughing, then Garfield joined in because his parents' laughter was infectious. Even Raven felt the urge to laugh with them.

Garfield must be Beast Boy and those are his parents. Beast Boy definitely has his father's smile. A satellite phone in Mark's pocket rang.

"Hello."

"Nick, I told you already… No, no I know. I understand. I'll give him a call. Bye." Mark sighed

"Was that your brother again calling for a favor?"

"Yep," he flashed a familiar grin. "A five thousand dollar favor."

"I swear that man burns through cash like its firewood."

"Hey, babe. I'm glad to help out those less fortunate, especially my little brother. I mean, it's not like we're ever gonna use it."

"I know, it's just that-"

"Hey daddy, mamma. Look what I found!" Garfield pointed behind them, and his parents turned. It was a leopard caught in a wire trap not even fifty yards away. It wasn't just any leopard, though. It was green.

"Sakutia," Marie whispered.

"Marie, do you have the tranquilizer."

"Yeah, it's right here." She handed him a folded rifle.

"Hand me the backpack, and get Garfield back to the village. I'm going to collect some samples before I free the leopard." They traded, Garfield for the backpack.

"Be careful," she warned.

"I will. If I'm not back in ten minutes tell King Tawaba to send some warriors, just in case. I love you."

"I love you, too." They shared a quick kiss.

"Hey mommy, is Berhanu gonna be cooking his famous stew tonight?"

"That's what he said this morning."

"Dude, sweet!"

Aaaaand that's a wrap. Wow, that's a long chapter. Little bit of extra info, I'm gonna do my best to update weekly, though the next two chapters will be posted at the same time because Beast Boy's memory is gonna take up a whole chapter. Below is a little note that explains the Latin. I figured that you wouldn't want this to interrupt the flow of the story. Thanks for reading, let me know what you think, or if you have any questions.

[*](Let my lover's dreams be of my past. AN-I used Google translate, so if you speak/read Latin don't blame me if it's wrong.)
