Seraph Chronicles

Dream Catcher

I was in KL over the weekend, hence the lack of posts over the past few days. I went to One Utama to meet up with some uni friends and happened to see this red indian performing some traditional musical instruments and promoting some classical indian music CDs, musical instruments and the all famous Dream Catcher. Those who love Stephen King novels will be familiar with the book and movie of the same name. The Dream Catcher is made of sinew strands tied around a frame in a web like pattern. Native american indians used these Dream Catchers as charms to protect little children from nightmares.

Pocahontas anyone?

The Dream Catcher is tied in a web shape with a larger hole in the middle. The web is supposed to stop bad dreams and nightmares from passing through and the hole in the middle is the passage that allows the good dreams to pass through, sort of like a sieve or filter of sorts. There are many patterns to the Dream Catcher and if only I had more cash on me I would have bought one. It would still make as a nice decoration even if you do not believe in the legend of the Dream Catcher.

Love the feathers dawg
