Dream Catcher

     Every religion has a symbol that represents its values, and Dreamology is no exception. Since almost the beginning of its history, Dreamology has called the dream catcher its official symbol. In aboriginal culture, the dream catcher has different significance, but mainly is said to serve the purpose of catching negative dreams like a spider's web. Dreamologists, however, have adopted a different meaning for the device: they claim that dream catchers filter dreams. That is, they allow for clearer visions and filter out unnecessary dreams. Every Dreamologist has a dream catcher, and it is traditional for the catcher to made by the individual themselves. The dream catchers can be personalized with decorations with personal significance, so as to strengthen their power. Children learn how to construct dream catchers from a young age, and it is considered to be a traditional family craft. It is also acceptable and quite common for Dreamologists to give dream catchers as gifts; many followers have more than one catcher. This simple, yet specific symbol signifies the Dream Realm and its relation to the physical world (the filtering of dreams with a physical object).
