The Dreamcatcher or ‘Dream snare’ is a handmade object based on a hoop, on which woven a loose net or web then is decorated with sacred items such as feathers and beads.
The Dream-catcher should be hung above the bed, as is used as a charm to protect sleeping people, usually children, from nightmares. It is said that the dreamcatcher will filter out all bad dreams and only allow good thoughts to enter our mind. Once the sun rises, all bad dreams just disappear.
The tan cord coloured bound circle is approx 8cm in diameter plus the trailing cords and feathers length. Notes included.
