Dreamcatchers?? In Native American
culture, a dream catcher is a form of word for "spider", which is a
handmade object based on a willow hoop, on which is woven a loose net or
web. The dreamcatcher is then decorated with personal and sacred items
such as feathers and beads. Some consider the dream catcher a symbol of
unity among the various
Indian Nations, and a general symbol of identification with Native
American. The Ojibwa believe that a dreamcatcher changes a person's
dreams. The resulting "dream-catcher", hung above the bed, is used as a
charm to protect sleeping children from nightmares.
