DREAM CATCHERS 


Follow your dreams . Once you enter the dream its entirely your world.

Traditionally made from a willow branch hoop, nettle fibre or sinew, and decorations such as beads and feathers, the origins of the dream catcher are associated with a figure from ojibwe mythology known as Asibikaashi, or “the Spider Woman.” The Ojibwe tribe started this phenomenon and over time this was adopted by other tribes and cultures. This adoption was made possible through intermarriage and trade. Dream catchers were the height of trade and became widely adopted by Native Americans in the 1960s and 1970s.The iconic hoop-and-web form is meant to protect sleepers from bad dreams by “catching” them The feathers represent ladders, allowing good dreams to fall or descend on the one sleeping below, while letting good dreams pass through. They are also known as the "sacred hoops"
