lank tangles

 

Indian legend has it that all dreams float thru the air at night in search of their destination. dreams are considered sacred for they are thought to bring in important visions, and so, to keep dreamers safe, the Old Ones created a special web –  the Dreamcatcher – to hang above sleeping places.

 

bad dreams easily get confused, and they struggle in the web and become entangled. they remain there, and so perish in the morning light of the new day's sun.

 

good dreams take the path of the web, going thru the beads and stones that give them additional positive energy, and drift down, light as feathers, to the minds of the sleepers below.

 

i never quite understood why there are those sects in some religions that disapprove of, even resent, Dreamcatchers. they were fittingly named as such to acknowledge the fact that they can only catch dreams, not make them – a feat that only the Dreammaker is capable of.

 

as you hang your dreamcatcher, tell it what you want it to do. speak to the object as a friend, for it is your friend, an aspect of yourself. then, thank it for the goodness it will perform.

 

as above,

so below

evil perish,

good ever flow.

 

 

joy, light and peace be yours, and good dreams!
