Dream Catcher
Facts and history about the life and lifestyles of Native American Indians. The Native American Dream Catcher, or Dreamcatcher, was devised by the Woodland group of Native Indians as a protective charm or device, originally for the children of the tribes. The Dream catcher was believed to protect a person from the bad spirits that appeared in bad dreams and nightmares. The dream catcher was constructed in a spider web design using a wooden hoop that was attached to a woven web or loose net, so it looked like a spider's web. The dream catcher was then decorated with sacred and personal objects such as feathers and beads.
