Dare to dream bigger with these wise dream catcher quotes?
Dream catchers originate with the Ojibwe tribe, who started the tradition to honor Asibaikaashi, the Spider Woman and custodian of all infants and adults.
Afterward, as the tribe grew, Asibaikaashi could not oversee everyone, so the Ojibwe women began weaving magical webs for the infants as protection.
Over time other tribes picked up on the practice.
Eventually, the dream catcher became a symbol of solidarity within the Pan-Indian movement across the nation.
Generally, a dream catcher is a handmade willow hoop woven onto a web to form a net and adorned with beads and feathers.
Before going to sleep, people generally place them near their beds, cribs, or place of rest.
Dream catchers are designed to ward off negative energies and protect the dreamer.
Across the globe, Native tribes see dream catchers as a symbol of oneness.

Indeed, starting with the round shape of the dream catcher representing the spherical nature of our beloved planet earth.
The web or net, similar to a spider’s or fisherperson’s net, is designed to absorb bad dreams at night and discharge them during the day when the sun rises.
Traditionally, the feathers of an abundant bird like chicken, turkey, or dove, would be used and dyed.
The feathers serve as ladders to allow the good dreams to descend on the sleeper.
