Dreamcatcher Legend

The legend of the Dreamcatcher comes from the Native American Indians. They believe the Dreamcatcher catches the bad dreams and lets the good dreams filter through to the dreamer.

When hung, it moves freely in the air and catches the dreams when they float by. The bad dreams, not knowing the way, gets entangled in the webbing and perish with the first light of the new day. The good dreams know the way and slip through the center of the web, and slide down off one of the feathers down onto the dreamer.

Some tribes make a Dreamcatcher for their newborn, so that only good luck and good dreams will be had by the child all of its life. Some tribes like the Ojibwas hang Dreamcatchers in their home so that all can have good luck.

Here you will find hanging as well as table top Dreamcatchers.
