The
Dreamcatcher
Native Indians believe that night is full of both good and bad dreams. When a dreamcatcher is hung above where you sleep, it catches the dreams that drift by. The good dreams go thru center of web and slide down the feathers to those sleeping below. The bad dreams are caught in the webbing and destroyed (burned) at the first light of morning sun.

Traditional
dreamcatchers are only 3-5 inches across.
The must be made from natural materials.
Every part of a dream
catcher had a meaning. The
dreamcatcher represents the mind, body, spirit aspects of our personality,
moods and emotions. The ring and the web represent love, honesty and
purity. All of the combined elements on
the dreamcatcher represent aspects of earth, fire, water -- all things we need
to live.
Once the dreamcatcher is hung freely, it represents the element of air. The hoop represents the earth – “the circle of life” made from a willow. The dreamcatcher is patterned after a spider’s web to catch bad dreams and keep them from entering the dreamer’s head.
