The Dream Catcher-Miketz-D’var Torah-Rabbi Yakira
Native American cultures believe that both good and bad dreams fill the air at night. The dreamcatcher is a protective object that is used to protect people from nightmares and bad dreams. In Judaism the power of a dream lies with its interpretation and not with the dream itself. Yosef may be viewed as a dream catcher, giving a powerful, positive interpretation to Pharaoh’s “bad” dreams.
