THE LEGEND OF THE DREAM CATCHER

The legend says that when a dream catcher is hung above the place where you sleep it moves freely in the night air and catches the dreams as they drift by. The good dreams, knowing their way, pass through the hole in the center of the web, while the bad dreams, not knowing the way, are caught in the web and destroyed at the first light of the morning sun. The Ojibwa are credited as the first people to use dream catchers during the 60's and 70's, but many other tribes and Native peoples have since then adopted Dream catchers into their culture.
