Maybe they shouldn't have feathers

 


We like to think that we are all here for a reason.  Something important, no doubt, and yet when I look around the room I see things like this.

Some creature was placed here only to be made into a dream catcher.  Now I have to ask, which is more important, the creature or the dream, and was it worth catching?  Once caught, then what?

It’s all together possible that the entire purpose was for this conversation.  Right now, you and I discussing some random dream that happened to be caught in this contraption. Was the entire dream caught, or simply a tiny bit of it left behind?

Our memories seem to only snag a small part of dreams and even at that, they escape quickly.  I don’t think they’re meant to be held captive.  If they were, we’d remember them longer.

Is it that dreams are slippery or just clever?  We build elaborate catchers and still they’re gone in a flash.

Perhaps it's the other way around - the dream catcher gives you a dream that it has previously caught from its flight. At least the dreams of flying.
