Listen, did you hear that?

Dream Catcher I recently completed using leather, gemstone beads, pewter, glass and feathers.

If you spend time in nature, alone and quiet, a subtle breeze or wind can play tricks on your mind and make you think you hear voices.  A moan or cry are common examples as air moves in an around rocks, trees and such.  Add to this the sounds of animals and insects, an active imagination and the possibilities are endless.

Some native American Indians believed that there were good and bad spirits in the air and created “dream catchers,” to help control them and the effects on their dreams and sleep.  Good spirits passed through and bad spirits were caught in the web of the dream catcher and destroyed with the rising sun.  

May your dreams be good and the next time you are out in nature, take time to listen.
