Legend of the Dreamcatcher

native Americans believe the air is filled both good and bad dreams.Dreamcatchers were hung in the tipi or lodge and on a baby's bed. According to legend, the good dreams pass thru the center hole to the sleeping person. The bad dreams are trapped in the web where they perish in the light of dawn.

I heard once that some hang them outside in the morning to air them out.
What a cool meaningful tradition!

yes i feel Dream catchers have some mystical powers as well as they are beautiful.

We learned about them in school. We had to make some too. My grandmas has abotu adozen of them all around her house. There used to stop any negitive force from enerting your dreams.

You put then above the head of your bed, and at the foot of your bed, as well as any doors .

I made a dreamcatcher
from a kit from the art store
and hung it off my car rear-view mirror
I would put stuff on it as a catch-all
because I kept being confused as to
what is supposed to go through it
and what is supposed to get caught in it....

so if bad stuff gets caught in it
i did a good thing for myself
the artsy craftsy me tied a bow made of
cigarette foil in the web....

I really thought it helped me quit....LOL

whatever works is all good....
I wasn't born with a cigarette in my mouth
so it doesn't belong there.....end of story! ... LOL

Congrats! Thats a good idea.. lol I too need to quit smoking.. and start doing a few thngs as well...... It sounds like you subconciiously wanted to quit.. so when you put the foil on.. i guess you intent casted the right energies toward you......
