Dreamcatcher

on

I still sleep with a dreamcatcher hanging above my bed.

For the world it is just a souvenir from a culture they are in awe with. But for us, it is the symbol of a legend we still believe in. They look at the pretty beads and feathers adorning the ring. We see the web like weaving within the wooden ring. They wonder if their bad dreams are caught in this beaded hoop. We know we are protected from bad dreams because the spider woman is looking over us.

I still sleep peacefully knowing the dreamcatcher hangs above my bed.

    I have one above my bed as well. I try to take it outside and let the wind clean out the bad dreams that are stuck every once in a while.

    Consensually Share Our Human
    Realities Free Now With Wings to Be..:)

      Every culture has its own truth but one’s truth does not turn someone else’s truth into a lie
