American Indian Dream Catcher with a Wind Chime

A beautiful Dream Catcher with a wind chime. In many Native American tribes, a dream catcher is a handmade willow hoop woven to a web or literally, a net. A dream catcher also includes such features as feathers and beads. They are traditionally suspended on cradles as a form of armor and protection. Each part of the dream catcher had meanings tied to the physical world. One notable meaning is the dream catcher has a round shape which represents the earth’s physical shape. The web absorbs terrible dreams at night and discharges them during the day. The feathers act like ladders allowing good dreams to descend on the infant or adult who is sleeping.
