Dreamcatchers
It is customary that all dreamcatchers are made by hand. To purchase them at a store is to disregard the culture all together. But its another pop culture sentiment. How can we avoid it? The materials used for a dreamcatcher are delicate and are intended to deteriorate after time has passed. They are placed above a child’s bed to catch the nightmares and by the time the child transitions into adulthood…the dreamcatcher should have fallen apart. The native american’s spiritual night light, I suppose.
I believe in them. I purchased one…as sacriligious as it is and it was one of the first things I hung in my new apartment. I also later hung a crystal in the same location since tha area of the Bagua chart is missing from my apartment. And considering which area that directly correlates too…. I bought a crystal with the quickness!
I’ve had to develop many different rituals in regards to bed time. If not, I will wake up with scratches on my arms from fighting myself. Or perhaps from fighting a ghost.
There is lavendar poured over rocks. The bed facing a certian way. The dreamcatcher. The rain and thunder soundtrack. The tea. The glance at the picture. And the list goes on.
It helps. I’m sleeping the best that I have my entire life….only thing to top my routine at home, is my bed time routine with Mr. Officer. Now, that is really the best sleep of my life. Imagine having the honor to fall asleep in the arms of a warrior….a warrior that loves and protects and holds you. I get that.

I would like to have a dream catcher, but I don't know anyone who makes them…none here in Atlanta that I know of.
I've been googling how to make them because I'd like to replace the one I bought with one I have made. When I find good sites, I'll post the links! And document my process of creating one.
