I mean anything like cursed or lucky objects, ghosts, etc?

Figured it's the spooky season and I don't know too many people irl to talk to about the supernatural without discovering q-level brainworms.

I'll comment in the thread with my answer.

I like to believe in good luck charms (4 leaf clovers I find, rabbits feet, and coins head up) even though deep down I know they don't work. I also like to entertain things like worry dolls and dream catchers. Although once again I don't believe they work. But it's something I grew up with and think it's a whimsical idea to pass to my kids, regardless.

    Sometimes it's good to just have a template for thinking about abstract things. If you can conceptualize something like dreams as having a tangible form, even as just a thought experiment, it helps to better understand them than not think about it at all.

    It's a good mental place holder, if that makes sense.
