I feel art should inspire and protect. I used to make these wooden "Dream Guardians". After making one I would meditate with it and invite an elemental protective energy into it to protect one from bad dreams. This blue one pictured was a water elemental. I kept him near my headboard while I slept. If I had a bad dream, simply touching any source of water in the dream would change the dream entirely. I dunno if it was a mind over matter thing or not but, for whatever reason, it seemed to work. Thanks for the compliment! Much love!
