Dreamcatcher

The Legend of the Dreamcatcher started with the Native Americans of the Great Plains. They believe the air is filled with both good and bad dreams. According to legend, the good dreams pass through the center hole to the sleeping person. The bad dreams are trapped in the web, where they perish in the light of dawn. Historically, dreamcatchers were hung in the tipi or lodge and on a baby's cradle board.
