Dreams have always had many meanings to the Native Americans. They believed that the night air was filled with dreams both bad and good. When hung, the dream catcher moves freely in the air and catches the dreams as they float by. The good dreams know the way and slip through the center hole. The bad dreams, not knowing the way, get entangled in the webbing and perish with the first light of a new day. This dream catcher is made of purple leather. It is two inches across. It has brown, white and black beads hanging on leather thongs. At the base of each thong is a feather. The total length of this dream catcher is about 7 inches. The dream catcher hangs from a key chain. |
