Dream-catcher

All parts of the authentic Native American dreamcatcher have meaning tied to the natural world. The shape of the dreamcatcher is a circle because it represents the circle of life and how forces like the sun and moon travel each day and night across the sky. The dream catcher web catches the bad dreams during the night and dispose of them when the day comes. As for the good dreams, the feathers act as a fluffy, pillow-like ladder that allows them to gently descend upon the sleeping person undisturbed.

There’s something about the pastel coloured feathers of a dream-catcher that I associate with magic, mystery, gentleness and effortlessness (still wondering where do these association come from).

Guess that sums up my wishes and dreams for 2020 - a new year filled with magic, mystery, gentleness and effortlessness. I painted one in hope that these dreams will come true sooner. 😁
