I have a thing for dream catcher, I dont' why. Must be the colors, must be the fascinating design.
They say that the traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.
Took some photos of it when I was in Baguio:
Dream Catcher Lore:
Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams both good and bad. The dream catcher when hung over or near your bed swinging freely in the air, catches the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher, slipping through the outer holes and slide down the soft feathers so gently that many times the sleeper does not know that he/she is dreaming. The bad dreams not knowing the way get tangled in the dream catcher and perish with the first light of the new day.
Using a hoop of willow, and decorating it with findings, bits and pieces of everyday life, (feathers, arrow heads, beads, etc.
I bought one for my bed too. Silly, but I've been dreaming of weird things since I was eight.
I dreamt of me, being chased by group of brown monkeys but when I get to the cliff of the mountain, they will stop, fall in line like a choir and they sing unfamiliar songs in front of me.
I also dreamt of that I was in a sinking ship with my sister, dreamt of jumpimg over houses, dreamt of getting married, dreamt of getting stabbed at the back by unknown person, dreamt that a new born baby died and dreamt that my father died in a very ackward kind.
I can't imagine how many worse and absurd dreams I had! sigh! :(
Annd I don't know why.

I know right!? that's why.. I guess I love em!
I was given one from Mexico but didn't really know the significance of it until now. Thanks for the info.
Happy dreams then...a bad dream can be interpreted in many ways but for sure, they serve a purpose.
Jonthan: Whenever I got to places I make sure I buy dream catchers! I have a thing for them since I was young!
