2. They were fashioned after spiderwebs
The strings of the dream catcher are meant to look like a spider’s web. Here the bad dreams get caught, and the hole in the middle is meant to be where the good dreams pass through.
3. They originated from the Spider Woman
The Spider Woman, Asibikaashi, takes care of children and the people of the land. As the people spread to all the four corners of the land, mothers made the willow hoops to help Asibikaashi reach them all.
4. Each part has meaning
Feathers and beads are sacred items imbued with meaning and added to the dream catcher. Most important is the feather on the bottom of the main circle, as it allows your good dreams to slide down into your head.
5. They can be cleansed with sunlight
It’s believed that dream catchers need to be cleansed every now and then, so the bad dreams don’t get all clogged up. Put it somewhere the sun can reach it to drive all those negative energies away.
