The Dream Catcher

Have you ever had nightmares so often your willing to try anything to get rid? I know I have. Many people believe that if you hang a dream catcher over the bed it will catch the nightmares and allow you a peaceful sleep. But not many people know the origin of the dreamcatcher. You see there was a lady known as the spider woman and it was she who took care of all the children on the land. When the nation spread she was unable to reach all of the children, and so parents and grandparents would weave magical webs for them which would catch any harm that might be in the air. They were hung over cradles and were adorned with special feathers and beads as talismans.

Over time the dreamcatchers would get full of all the evils, bad energies and even nightmares and when they did it was the spider woman’s job to empty them. This gift, or you may call it a curse has been passed down for generations.

So here I am, stood looking over at this innocents child face, relieved that they never get so see what I empty but tortured by the fact that I do. So what do I do with them you ask? Well its simple. I let them go. Not just any old place of course, they'd just end up right back in the webs I empty. They go to specially chosen beings.

Over time some people can’t handle their gift or the nightmares and visions of grief and you find these tortured souls preaching on a street corner or stuck in an asylum somewhere. They are not babbling, my friends. They are not crazy either. They can’t get a grip on what they have in their head and all those visions and nightmares and bad energies get jumbled up so much that not even the smartest of people would be able to tell you exactly what is going on in there. I don’t choose these people, the dreams do. I feel for these people. My curse isn’t half as bad as there’s.

Some visions are not so bad and these are easily enough to handle when you’ve been doing this a long time. But those that are not so bad to one person could easily mentally break another. You have to have a strong mind and stomach when it comes to being a chosen one. Or in some cases, a little twisted.

Twisted minds are where your murderers and serial killers come from but again they are the select few who misinterpret what they are supposed to do with their gift. When done right the twisted minds are often the greatest minds, and its these minds that if channelled correctly can create the greatest of masterpieces. They don’t try and hide their gift, they share it. They share it with you, every single day. Writers and directors creating the greatest horror stories ever written, bringing them to life on the big screen. Thrillers and detective series. Stories that make the minds wonder just what is going on the creators head. Well now you know. So it’s time to introduce myself. My name is Pandory. I am a great descendent of the Spider woman. I am a chosen one and I’m here to share my gift with you....
