A Totem is an object that is used to test if oneself is in one’s own reality (dream or non-dream) and not in another person’s dream. A totem has a specially modified weight, balance, or feel in the real world but in a dream of someone who does not know it well; the characteristics of the totem will very likely be off. Any ordinary object, which has been in some way modified, to affect its balance, weight, or feel will work as a totem. Those viewing the totem offered here will find their own connection and meaning to each colorful sculpture as a pathway to inspire their own dreams.
