From encouraging positive dreams to trapping the bad ones, here are some ways in which dream catchers are believed to affect our dreams and thoughts.
Dream catchers are hands-down one of the most popular home decor items. They adorn the wall of every teenager’s room. They are pretty, bright and colourful in appearance and have a boho vibe to them. They are easy on the pocket and can be hung at any corner to instantly pep it up.
But when it comes to their actual usage, of influencing dreams, do they really work? There are many theories as to how dream catchers work their magic and how they positively affect our thoughts and dreams. Here are some ways in which dream catchers influence our dreams and our thought processes.
1. The centre of the dream catcher, that has the web inside a circle, is said to capture all the bad dreams and the negativity. While the feathers below it are said to encourage good and positive dreams.
2. Dream catchers are often perceived as a thing that protects children. They are usually hung over the bed to protect the children from evil spirits and nightmares while they are sleeping.
3. There is a reason behind the dream catchers being hung directly over the bed. The reason is that it is believed that the dream catcher catches the bad dreams in the web once the sun sets and when the sun rises the next morning, the bad dreams that are trapped in the dream catcher expire.
4. Dream catchers are believed by some to be totems that represent good energy. They help to neutralize bad energy and increase the positive energy in the room.
5. The beads that are next to the feathers in a dream catcher are said to symbolise the good dreams that could not pass through the web and thus became immortalised as sacred charms.
