Did you know, between these good and bad dreams, there’s a talisman that is believed to catch bad dreams? Dream Catcher- a decorative modern contemporary object which is a small circular hoop, web-like in the between made up of threads, beads in the middle and the feathers hanging in the end.
Gifting dream catcher in birthdays and on special occasion has developed like a fashion these days as it symbolizes protection and positivity. But aren’t we a little curious to know what these fancy looking thing specifically imply, its origin and it’s whereabouts?
History of Dream Catcher
Dream catchers have different theories and its purpose vary rather religiously. There’s a story of a child, according to a legend, who was very sick. He had a fever due to bad dreams. Then, a woman who practiced medicine made a dream catcher taking spider’s web as a reference.
When bad dreams came to the child, it filtered his bad dreams in the strands. Good dreams took hold of the feathers hanging at the end of the dream catcher and poured on the child’s health. Early in the morning, when the first rays hit the catcher, it would burn all the bad dreams caught in between. Another is a tale of a spider.
It was weaving its web in the window; a child was about to kill it when his grandmother stopped him from doing so. Expressing gratefulness, the spider offered her web which would catch all of her bad dreams.
The other convincing theory about dream catcher is that of Native Americans. Back then, the tribes Ojibwe and Lakota were the ancient tribes of Native America who were fascinated by the spiders. They believed that the spiders protect them from negativity. Like every tribe had a deity to follow, they had Asibikashi who had preternatural powers. They named her “spider woman”.
Due to various circumstances, they had to travel far from their native land which made it difficult to bind them with her protective spell. In order to protect them all, she made the first dream catcher whilst in their term was “Asbikeshiinh”. Thereafter, every grandmother and mother made a dream catcher to protect them from bad omen.
The Ojibwe tribe supposed the night air is loaded with both good and bad dreams. The dream catcher is hung above the head where the rays of sunlight hit. The bad dreams get trapped in the web whereas the good ones are allowed to pass through the feathers and go downhill to the sleeper’s mind. The remaining bad dream entwined in the net gets scorched as soon as the morning rays conquerors over.
What does a Catcher Dream do?
Dream Catcher is also sometimes named as “Sacred Hoops”. Traditionally, these were used as talismans to keep people, usually children, away from bad dreams. Native Americans believe that the night air has both good and bad dreams. When dream catchers are hung in a place above the bed where the morning sunrays fall on, they attract and capture all kinds of dreams and thoughts into its webs.
Then, only good dreams pass through and gently slide down the feathers to comfort the sleeper below. For bad dreams, nevertheless, get stuck in its protective net and destroyed, the light of day burns them.
Meaning of Dream Catcher
What most of you might be wondering is why dream catchers are circular in shape? Is it because it makes it look good or does it have its own significance? Let me walk you through why are they circular. The dream catcher draws its resemblance from the celestial forces of the sun and the moon which travels each day and night to represent the circle of life.
There is a different yet significant meaning of beads attached to the dream catcher. In some context, the beads symbolize the spider, whereas the others consider beads as good dreams which could not pass through the web.
Which Color You Should Choose?
Most believe that the best color to choose for a dream catcher is white and blue symbolic of hope and pureness. The color white also represents freshness, goodness, light, simplicity and coolness which make it the best option. However, the choice of color is subjective as every color has its own meaning.

How to Make a Dream Catcher?
After knowing all about the dream catcher, you probably should be interested in buying one or why not even making one?? For your guidance the steps are mentioned below:
Step 1: First, gather all the necessary materials such as threads, bangles, beads, feathers, anything circular and a thicker thread. The thread that is used to wrap up the bangle should be comparatively thicker than that of which is used to hang the feather later on.
Step 2: What we need to do is basically wrap the thread around the bracelet then double secure it in the end.
Step 3: The third step is the making of the loop. The point of initials depends on your choice. After choosing it, secure the place and start making loops in the positioning in the corners.
In case you are the beginner, start making a heptangular hoop otherwise to enhance it up you can make an octagonal or decagonal hoop. You can add up the beads if you want to in the middle loop or anywhere you prefer to.
Step 4: Add feathers using the thread you used to bind the bangle.

So I'm looking to get a tattoo of a dream-catcher, I already have an artist waiting to draw it out I just need to give him a few more details about it.
I was hoping someone would know that meaning behind the different colors in dream-catchers as well as the meaning of the amount of beads in the webbing, the amount of feathers on hanging from the dream-catcher and finally the meaning behind the type of feather. If someone could help me out with that it would be amazing!
Thank you!
Dreamcatchers are Ojibwa cradle decorations invented in the 1920's. They are crib mobiles, nothing more. They have no special meaning or significance. They are designed to entertain babies as they sway in the breeze. That's ALL they are.
I know new-age people ascribe all sorts of ridiculous notions to them. We find it totally hysterical.
We are totally baffled by non-natives obsession with them. Getting a tattoo of a dream catcher is like getting a tattoo of a baby's pacifier. really. You'll never see an indian with a dreamcatcher tattoo, nor does any indian over the age of 4 own one. The one great thing about people who get dreamcatcher tattoos is that it instantly marks you as someone who has no clue about native culture.
I know that every thing on a dream catcher has some kind of meaning. The link below might help you.
Dream Catcher Meaning Of Colors
All the parts of the dream catcher has meaning.
To begin, the web represent the spider our brother of life for ever repairing the eternal web of life. Thus weaving your life dreams and energy in the universe when you dream.
The ring represents the earth mother and the humble walk we do upon her. The ring was also covered with multi-colored wool representing in my mind and spirit aspects of your personality, moods and emotions. The beads on the web are of the 7 directions thus calling upon them to bless you.
As we believe that we are related to all things and that all things are part of us then the Dream Catcher and medicine wheel is a representation of such sacred belief.
The first color is blue representing Father Sky and all that lives in the sky; grandfather sun, grandmother moon, Star nation and Creation.
The second colored beads are purple this is the color of the inner self and the introspection of where the Creator lives, within us all.
The third color is Yellow this represents the direction of the East where the Yellow Nation is and we call upon their ancestors and the wisdom they carry to come in and teach us. It is also the direction of where the sun rises every day therefore a new beginning. We put the Sacred Eagle in that direction and call upon the abilities to see far beyond what is in front of us and to focus on the task at hand.
The fourth color is Red for the Red Nation. In this direction we call upon their ancestors to come and teach us how to take care of the land and do the work necessary for our families to grow in a strong foundation. It is the direction of honesty, hard work, family, integrity and love.
The fifth color is black. This color represents two roads. The direction of the Black nation and we call upon their ancestors to come and help with healing, also how to care for the water. It is also the direction of the black road, the one of self destruction, abuse and so on. Therefore we pray for understanding of such since we say Creator of all good things. We pray for the lessons that these people bring to us.
The sixth color is of the White nation. We acknowledge the white people and their ancestors. The knowledge and the wisdom on how to use that knowledge in a good way.
The 7th direction is of the color green representing Mother Earth. The one who feeds us, clothes, and protects us from the elements. She supplies all that we need in order to live on this earth. We give thanks for her.
In your Dream catcher, I have finalized the eye with purple again. This is to remind you that we are spiritual beings in all aspects of life and that without such believe then we continuously search the reason of our being and try to explain it in many different formats.
Once the ring and the web are weaved, it represents love, honesty and purity. All of the elements of the dream catcher together represent the earth, fire and water. Things we need to live. So when I make a Dream catcher the feathers are of the Eagle one of our most Sacred Animal Spirit. The Eagle to me is part of my Native ways and is in my personal medicine wheel in the East which represents the ability to fly high and close to the Creator. It also represents part of my name and the Society that was founded for the purpose of advancing the Native American Way of living.
It represents the ability to be love and to love, to take the risk and get out of the nest and fly on your own, the ability to live beyond your shadows. Once put on the dream catcher it represents the air.
If you received a dream catcher you have received an object that represents the 4 elements of life. Earth, Water, Fire and Air, all the things necessary to sustain life. May you have a happy, dreamful life with this dream catcher and good Karma.
