I've had a website for about two years, hosted by Dreamhost. (soundgems.net) I cannot be found on Google. Does something about Dreamhost block Google's web scanners from finding websites?

Your site is in Google (search by site:soundgems.net):
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:soundgems.net
You probably can't be found through keyword searches because your whole site appears to use Flash. Google doesn't read any content or follow links within Flash content.

Flash websites are anathema to search engines. They can't read any of the content. If you want SE traffic, you should consider either replacing the site with an HTML one, or at lease putting some HTML pages on it so the search engines can read it.
You'll also want to get some inbound links so the search engines think your site is reasonably important.
