Native American Dreamcatcher, Waterfall with hanging feathers.
This is a very large item in diameter 60cm and may need to be shipped seperately depending on order items.
The dream catcher legend originated from the Ojibway and Lakota Elders.

They tell that dreams do hold great power and drift about at night before coming to the sleeping ones.

To keep the dreamer safe, the Old Ones created a special web, The Dream catcher, to hang above their sleeping places.

The ancient story told by the Native Elders is that the Dream catcher's hoop, with the intricate webbing at it's centre, ensures a sleep undisturbed by bad dreams.

The good dreams would take the path of the web with great ease to its centre and would float gently down the trail of beads, and like the feather, drift down into the minds of the sleepers below.

The bad dreams would struggle with the web and become entangled as the night would pass, leaving them to perish in the rays of the new day sun in the morning.

Lakota tradition believe that the night air is filled with both good and bad dreams. The dream catcher, when hung, moves freely in the air and catches dreams as they float by.

With the guidance of the spirit beads, bad dreams are allowed passage through the centre opening which then slip away into the night without bothering the sleeper.

The good dreams are held throughout the night in the webbing and are passed to the sleeper at the light of day, so they may continue to follow their dreams.

Hang them in your home and enjoy pleasant dreams.
