What are dream catchers?

Originally, dream catchers were a tool used by the native Americans to encourage good dreams. The dream catcher also aids in catching bad dreams and filtering out the good dreams and sending them the person who is sleeping. The native Americans believe in the spiritual realm and the physical realm and the thin divide between them.

An actual handcrafted dream catcher by the native Americans will be made using a wooden hop. The inside of the hoop is covered in twine meticulously looped through the wooden loop. Then items such as feathers and beads are hung down the dream catcher. Every item hung down the hoop has a spiritual significance. Feathers for example help channel the good dreams to the person who is sleeping.
