"Dream Catcher "
The Legend Of the Dream Catcher
The Ojibwa (Chippewa) believe that night is full of both good and bad dreams. When a dream catcher is hung above the place where you sleep it moves freely in the night air and catches the dreams as they drift by. The good dreams, knowing their way, pass through the opening in the center of the webbing while the bad dreams, not knowing the way, are caught in the webbing and destroyed at the first light of the morning sun.
There are many variants to the dream catcher legend, some which say both the good and bad dreams are captured and some which say the good dreams slide down the feather to those sleeping below. Although the Ojibwa are credited as the first people to use Dream Catchers many other Tribes and Native peoples have adopted Dream Catchers into their culture. Even though the designs and legends of Dream Catchers differ slightly, the underlying meaning and symbolism is universal and is carried across cultures and language barriers.
Everybody dreams.

1984 Montgomery 15 - Hull Number 248
Dream Catcher, owned by Don Haas, a frequent contributor to the MSOG E-mail forum, is home ported from the coastal area of Oregon. The photo at far right is from Siltcoos Lake which is well known in the State as having a great Largemouth Bass population, in addition to the fine sailing waters. If you're lucky you get dinner with your sail.
Second to the right photo you will see the floorboards Don created. Also notice the late model Thetford Port-a-potty: " It Seems Thetford starting making the Thetford 135 larger without consulting Jerry M. I needed to adjust the footprint of the T-135 to make it fit. To save wear and tear on both myself and the boat I made a template out of old 2x4s that matched the M15 space. Then basically followed Jerry's Montgomery's recommendation of hot water, weight and wait. I filled the tank with very hot water, placed the Thetford in the template, sat on top and the lower unit molded into the correct shape."
