Dreamcatchers come from Native Indian traditions and are used to catch evil spirits/bad dreams. Originally made from natural materials such as willow branches for the hoop, leather thonging and sinew from the animals of the land;
they were hung up by childrens beds.
There are two theories about how they work, the first is that bad dreams and spirits go through the
holes in the web and the good dreams are caught and sent to you down the feathers.
However, I prefer the second theory in that all bad dreams and negative spirits are trapped inside the web
and the good dreams pass through the centre and drift down to the dreamer via the feathers.
In the light of day break, bad dreams are dispelled and the dreamcatcher re-energised for the following night.
Who should own a dreamcatcher?
Dreamcatchers are very pretty and fluffy and girly but firstly let me answer you this question which
passes our lips quite often.....
What do you give the man who has everything?
Answer: A dreamcatcher in his football teams colours!
I made my 3 year old niece a very girly dreamcatcher for her room and my nephew who was 10 at the time said, 'Wow, can i have one?' I didn't want to make him a normal blue for boys kind of thing and he now has a striking (see what I did there.. striking.. football!) red and white one, which are his favourite teams colours.
I've never seen a young lad so impressed.
They make ideal wedding presents (Burgundy is a very popular colour), or 'new baby', christening, engagement, birthday or anything you want presents.
The list is endless and so are dreams...... so make sure they're good ones!
