The Indians of the Woodlands believed
that Dreams had special qualities.
They Felt dreams had the ability to change or
direct a person's journey through life.
They also believed the night air was filled
with both good and bad dreams.
To protect a sleeper from bad dreams
a tradition was to hang a dreamcatcher
on a baby's crib or over a person's bed.
The Dreamcatcher captured dreams as they floated by.
It was guided gently off to the sleeper below.
The bad dreams became tangled in the web
and couldn't reach the sleeper.
Bad dreams were destroyed by the first light of the new day.
Dreamcatchers were meant to be a lifelong possession.
Personal treasures were added to stand for events in the owners life.
Shells, small stones, feathers or beads might be tied to
or woven into the web or hung from the frame.

In this next writing I will tell you a little of what I believe.
It was May 1978, when I had a major life changing event.
I was sleeping in at my Mom and Dad's home.
They had gone to a funeral of my second cousin.
I stayed home because I got in late the night before
At 10:05 AM, I awoke from a dream that my Aunt Grace
had called sounding alarmed and wanted to talk to my Mom.
I knew in my mind that it was about one or both of my Grandparents.
I lay back down and was awakened
again at 11:05 AM. This time it was my Aunt.
She did sound unsettled and wanted to speak to Mom.
I told her I would try to reach her and she said please
have her come out to the house by 2:00 PM.
I asked if it was about Grandpa, she said it is both of them,
but would tell me no more at the time.
I called my Mother where she and Dad were at and told her
to come on home that Aunt Grace wanted us to be at her house
by 2:00 PM and she had some news but wouldn't say what about.
We all met at my Aunt's house at about 2 PM
and she told us that at 10:05 AM my Grandfather
lost control of his Saab (a small car) and crossed the
center line and crashed head on into a cadillac.
They determined the time of Impact to be at 10:05 AM.
They were killed instantly. Time of Death was 10:05 AM..
We will never know why my Grandpa lost control and it may
have been his heart. He had arthrosclerosis and Asthma.
I pray they didn't know what hit them. The time I awakened
was at the point of impact and they were 40-50 miles away from me.
The only way I can explain that is God spoke to me in my dreams
and gave me a warning about the tragedy.
When I write, talk or think about that day it saddens me
and yet I feel a strange peace that passes all
understanding and I know they are in Heaven with God.

even though I am allergic to many...
They live amongst us where we moved to their nicely wooded area.
Just like Colonel Armstrong's men did to the Delaware Indian,
when they ran my ancestors from Kit-Han-Nee, now named Kittanning
in Armstrong County, Western Pennsylvania.
I have limited knowledge of them although I am about 1/4 bred Delaware
thus having the Delaware blood flowing through my veins...
We can sit on our front deck and watch the deer play in our field.
I look at deer as a peaceful animal and do not like it when men
come to my home asking to hunt deer. I love sitting out and watching
them and it is as though they feel safe around our home.
This may be due to the fact I have run a few hunters off our land
and it is posted no trespassing and no hunting signs are everywhere.
