Dreamcatchers
Capture the Lucid Illusive
Dream catchers originated in the Chippewa Nation. Over time, they caught on with most other Native American peoples.
Dream catchers originally were hung above the beds of sleeping children, to protect them from bad dreams and evil
spirits. Legends told that the spider web design of the dream catcher would allow good dreams & positive energies to
pass through floating down the hanging beads and feathers to the sleeping children it was intended to protect. Typically
these are hung right above the bed, or wherever the sunlight can cast directly on it with dawn’s light. The strategy
behind this placement is for the negative dreams or energies, which become stuck in the web, will extinguish as soon as
the first rays of the sun strike them. Light always casts away darkness.
As someone with chronic insomnia, the conceptual belief in dreamcatchers has always fascinated me, with their ability to
aid in coercing a more positive outcome of sleep and allowing positive energies to flow through circulating freely,
while negative energies get caught & isolated in the web. It’s said that it’s best to weave your own energy and
intentions into your own creation for the most potent effect, and I’ve grown rather elated with this idea.
