Dreamcatcher

Do you remember your dreams? Generally, I don't remember my dreams. There are a couple of times in my life when the dreams were so vivid that I remember them. I've had dreams that I have remembered for a couple of days and then forgot. Dreams always seem to mix up a lot of different things. Like a baby driving a car or someone being in a dream about something they were never connected to.

The first dreams that I had for a period of time was when I was about 5 or 6. I had a nightmare over and over for a while. It was scary and I woke everyone up with my screaming and crying. That nightmare faded away over a few weeks, but I've never forgotten it. What I needed back then was a Dreamcatcher. It was first made by the Ojibwa Indians to hang over a child's bed and catch the nightmares. I guess Indians knew about psychology before we did.

The next series of dreams that sticks in my mind took place over a period of time about 6 or 7 years ago. I frequently dreamed I was flying. I wasn't in an airplane. I could just stretch out my arms and fly. It felt very real. A friend of mine told me she had the same kind of dream.

After those flying dreams, I began to do some research and found that there are quite a few websites that tell you what dreams mean. It doesn't appear to be an exact science because I've found that different websites interpret the flying dreams in different ways. The most common interpretation is that when you have flying dreams, you feel like you are in control of your waking life or at least some part of it. If you have a dream you want to interpret, here's a link to a website.
