I’m looking for a Catholic Christian appropriate symbol of dreams to use that I could reasonably have on a necklace. I wanted one to remind me of my grandma and my best friend who died, my best friend often visits me in my dreams. With my grandma it is complicated, I’ve always suffered from terrible nightmares and dreams since I was a child. I converted in my late teens to Catholicism, but before that I was just from an atheist family background. My grandma always believed in dream-catchers and she bought me plenty of them when I was younger to help with the nightmares. Though I can’t say whether they really decreased their frequency, having them always gave me comfort as a child because I was only young I was really prepared to believe these things would help me. I think though, it was so comforting because they remind me of my grandma and she’s all I think about when I see them.
However, I know they aren’t exactly Christian appropriate and I fear if I were to wear a dreamcatcher necklace, whilst I might be aware of the true meaning behind it, it would probably be scandalous to others who interpret it differently. Therefore, I need something else that could replace this as a more appropriate thing to wear that would remind me of dreams and importantly not be something superstitious in nature. Any ideas?
God bless
*edit: wanted to clarify that I have tried to google this but I can’t really find anything that works as a symbol of dreams, even if it isn’t Christian, as long as it is a harmless image that is not associated with suspicious or pagan beliefs that’s the sort of thing I’m trying to find.
