Dreamcatchers

For my second unit in Who am I we learned about dreams. In this class we analyzed our unconscious and consciousness mind and the affects it has on dreams. We learned about the Freud theory which consist the id, ego, and superego. With this information we learned how and what is pathologist. In this process we learned the definition and meaning behind making a dream catcher. As we created our own into our own definition.

      This is a wide shot of my dream catcher it is meant to catch bad dreams and let the good dreams pass through. It advocates positive sleep, that were created by Native Americans. It lets the good dreams pass through the circle and then flow down the string into the individual. The bad dreams are caught in the circle and then they disappear when the sun rises up. The hoop of the dream catcher indicates strength and the center of the hoop means your bliss. The center of your dream catcher often is something that makes you happy. My bliss would be G-D. This symbolizes my religion which is catholic and the strong connection I have with my belief. For the hoop I wrapped it with yellow and blue pipe cleaners because they are my favorite colors. They symbolize harmonize, sooth, creativity, power, energy which is what I want to keep in my dreams. I also brought white thread in the center of my dream catcher. It symbolizes the good and the bad, such as positiveness, emptiness, open-minded, darkness, and uncontrollable. As I sleep I like to experience everything rather that is good and bad dreams as I believe they both have a powerful meaning.

      One dream that affects my dream catcher is me getting kidnapped. In this dream I had to go through games and levels to no get caught. I this dream I did not feel scared rather happy of getting kidnapped. At the end I lost and got robbed I woke up before I can see what would happen to me. The blue and yellow both have the same meaning which is the joy and rush I felt completing each level. The white thread represents how clueless and curious I was to finding out what will happen next as I didn't knew f it was good or bad.

    In the bottom of my hoop it represents togetherness. The blue strings started of as 3 individual string but as I connect them in a braid. This represents how each individual can bring there strengths to the table and share within a group to success. If I was able to ask this dream any question I wouldn't. The thing I like about my dream is how I try figure out the meaning and why I had it. So if I was to ask it a dream I would know the answer which is what I don't want. If I was able to go back to this dream I would like to have undone choices that made it harder for them to catch me. For example, I chose to help a little girl from a kidnapper and take the journey with me. If I was able to go back I would of left her behind as she nearly killed me.
