Dream Catchers
For my seventh topic and post I have decided to base it on dream catchers.
What I find beautiful/attractive about dream catchers are the fact they they were made to catch any harm that might be in the air, like nightmares. I like how it was used for when children went to sleep to ward off bad dreams. The design for them is physically beautiful and now with it modernized it can be extremely amazing to look at.
Dream catchers aren't that important in our society but people do value them. The meaning can be enough for a person to value the reasons behind having a dream catcher, but people still wouldn't look at it as important. This is also valued in Native American Culture where it originated.
This text could be found in books to do with Native American culture. Since dream catchers are an interesting creation made by Native Americans you are likely to find them in books about their culture. Another place would also be the Internet, a great place to find endless information.
What I have learnt was that dream catchers have changed to suit our culture and aren't made completely to tradition. I also learnt that the net was based on a spiders web so it could catch any harm in the air like a spiders web catches and holds whatever it comes in contact with.
