If you’re a vivid dreamer, you probably have a fascination with the visions that visit you each night. Dreams can linger with us throughout the day and captivate us for hours, days, even years. Sometimes they’re so convincing we need to ask ourselves, did that happen? Did I do that, say that, live that? If you've ever possessed a dreamcatcher, you might even believe it’s possible to control the dreams that come to you.
Originating with the Ojibwa (Chippewa) Tribe, dreamcatchers are in many homes today. It is believed that a dreamcatcher will filter good dreams through the web, while ensnaring the bad. A dreamcatcher is supposed to be placed near the bed in a spot that sunlight will reach. When the first rays of morning light hit the web, the trapped nightmares dissipate to nothing.
Actually, the dreamcatcher’s entire design is tied to the ideals of Earth, Air, Water and Fire.

Air carries our dreams to us (the feathers on a dreamcatcher are also symbolic of air).
Water is believed to wash and separate our wanted dreams from the unwanted.
Fire burns away nightmares with its powerful blaze.
Commonly made of willow and sinew strands, the dreamcatcher is woven in a web-like manner that is much like the method used for snowshoe webbing. Sometimes a dreamcatcher can have one or more beads: One bead is symbolic of the spider who wove your protective web, while several beads can represent the many sweet dreams that have been brought to you.

Soul Flower's all about good vibes; we appreciate everything the dreamcatcher stands for. We have a few cool dreamcatchers to choose from. jewelry wise, we have the Sweet Dream Earrings and the gorgeous Dreamcatcher Necklace, and to match, there's our Dreamcatcher Organic Tank or Longsleeve Tee. We figure it couldn’t hurt to wear a dreamcatcher all the time, perhaps it will guard against negative daytime thoughts - work as a reminder to catch yourself and think positive!

What do you do/use to guard yourself from needless negative thinking?
OH! Jiminy! That tapestry is beautiful!!!! Don't know if I've seen that one....
ReplyDeleteNegative thinking - hop on social media with friends for a bit. If that doesn't work, I watch a show (movie, TV, whatever) that will jar my brain and knock it off its destructive path. Or even better - a walk in the woods!!!
