Dream Catchers are an ancient spiritual
tool used to help assure good dreams to those that sleep under
them. A dream catcher is usually placed over a place you would
sleep where the morning light can hit it. As you sleep all dreams
from the spirit world have to pass through the dream catcher.
Only good dreams can pass through the hole in the center while
the bad dreams are caught in the webbing and are destroyed by
the morning light.
A beautiful Dream Catcher hangs above my bed
Feathers and beads adorn it
Its Spiritual goodness makes for a restful night
The legend says it is there to protect me
From all the bad dreams that try to invade my head
When I sleep
It has a hole in the center
Which allows only good things to enter
my dreams as I rest
The web catches all the bad thoughts
the spirit world wants to send me
To torture my heart and soul
Dreams that shake my very existence
Make me wonder if I have died and went to hell
Torture of stolen children
Beatings of husbands on wifes
Parents exploiting their own babys
War
Death
Torture
Disasters
Homelessness
Hunger
Disease
Drugs
Hate
Greed
Taking lives
My Heart shatters in these dreams
I see my own Child dying
Other children dying
Life
Death
Terror
Terrorists of our own birthing
Hell
But now I have my Dream Catcher
to catch all these events
In the light of day
As the sun rises
It melts all these spirits away
Like a vampire of the night
Now when I sleep, all I see are things of beauty
Mountains and streams
Love and Happiness
Children flying a kite
Cute puppys nipping at their heels
Riding my big golden horse through a stream
Fishing on a peaceful, quiet lake
