Dreams are in the air, both bad and good.
And when we sleep our mind allows the dreams to enter, both good and bad. Like air, dreams are hard to grasp onto and are hard to remember. Different people take in different amounts of dreams, sometimes more sometimes less. Those who had many dreams and could remember them were considered shamans in some cultures such as the Native Americans. Aborigine culture too is centred around dreams. A native American tribe made Dream catchers, they are beautiful and are very helpful to some. It is a hoop with webbed thread, it is decorated with beads and feathers. It is important to look after your Dream catcher, the thread web filters the dreams in the air which makes it less likely to have a nightmare. However, if treated well the Dream catcher may choose to clean the air of bad dreams so you would not have to fear. I've been having a lot of intense dreams so I got myself a black Dream catcher, it is small but I think it may be enough. Its hanging on my wall. Its worth a shot but I think it will work, looking forward to a restful sleep tonight. |

There is great spiritually significant importance surrounding the circle to indigenous cultures too. The dream catcher ought to be smudged. If you are unable to find anything like sage, sweet grass, or even pine, an incense stick will do. It is after all about the intent more than if you are doing it right. I also have a pouch of tobacco for offering thanks and a blessing for such things too. (incidentally the word 'native' now is considered quite a slur).
