This pattern is part of a room makeover on a budget using mainly crochet and some other DIYs!! I’am a big believer that our surrounding space affect our mood and productivity levels and I find my self more productive and happy when I have a place that is organized and looks pretty.
Also my room is the space where I work on my blog, sit down and chill, study, and even workout!! so basically If I don’t have a pilates class to teach or a family commitment I’ll be in my room (coz am an extremely introverted human being and I like it) :D. Hence I always want to add new things to it, make it prettier and more functional that’s why I have created this room makeover series!!
Through out this series you will find cute decorative items as well as some functional/ storage ideas items too. So If you are interested to see the rest of the series check it here

Dreamcatcher Website
Dream catchers were intended to work best when you hang them at least half a foot above your bed just above your head when you sleep at night. The reason this is so is based on it’s original design which was intended that the dream catcher serves as a net that captures and stores the bad dreams while letting the good dreams fall down onto your head letting you have pleasant dreams. This is the main reason why you would hang a dream catcher above your head so that it will work most effectively. It is for this reason that they were invented and intended to be used, however in the modern world to this day some people have recorded that hanging a dream catcher just in your room will have the same effect as having it directly above your head.

Where should you not hang a dream catcher
above we advised as to the best place to hang a dream catcher, however there are a number of places you shouldn’t place a dream catcher. It is popular to have dream catcher all around your home, some people have them in their vehicles or cars or a small one hanging from their bag. However there is no “bad” place to hang dream catchers. The only thing is that they will not work as effectively or not work at all if they are not above you when you sleep or at least in the same room at night.
This brings me to the question of whether it would be safe to have a dream catcher not in your bed. In order for a dream catcher to work effectively it must be around somebody when they sleep. A dream catcher will catch any bad spirit that is lurking as well as catching good ones floating around. If you have a dream catcher that is in your living room for example it will capture and store good and bad dreams and may prevent them from actually reaching you causing a reduction in good, bad and all dreams in general.
My Advise would be that if you are looking to use dream catchers to stop bad dreams only have one in your bedroom or room where you sleep. Don’t have it in any other room or even your car at night as it may stop your dream catcher from working correctly.
