Dream catchers are a protective talisman that originated from Native American cultures. They are often hung above the beds of young children. The most common meaning of a dream catcher is that it filters away bad dreams, protecting you from evil and negativity.
The dream catcher is shaped like a circle, which represents the circle of life. It is also a metaphor for the journey of the sun and the moon across the sky.
The dream catcher is designed to:
- Trap bad dreams in the web
- Allow good dreams to filter through the hole, bead, or gem in the center of the web
- Protect sleepers from bad dreams
- Let good dreams pass through
The design of the dream catcher includes:
- A web with a small hole in the middle
- Beads, gem stones, and arrowheads
The different colors of dream catchers are protective in their own way. However, many people prefer white and blue dream catchers, which symbolize purity and hope
