Dream catchers were originally placed over cradles or beds of babies for protection.

A dream catcher is considered sacred to Native American culture.

It consists of a willow hoop that has a net or web woven on it, with feathers and beads hanging from it. They were originally hung over cradles of babies and symbolize protection.

To Native Americans, they served the purpose of 'catching dreams'. Dream catchers are of Ojibwe origin and are meant to protect children from nightmares.

Dreams are believed to enter the dream catchers where bad dreams get caught in the tangled web of the dream catchers. The good dreams are believed to pass through the web and float down to the beads and feathers.

The feathers are meaningful because they were believed to transfer the good dreams from dream catchers to the baby. The bad dreams caught in the web of dream catchers are believed to be destroyed by sunlight.

In Native American culture, it is believed that dream catchers actually work, but today dream catchers have become more of a fascination for people wishing to decorate their homes. Originally though, they represented a mother's protection for her children and wishes of peace and positivity, signaling that dreams can come true.  

The best colors for dream catchers to celebrate the dreams that guide us are blue and white as they represent hope and purity. Green is another great color to help catch your dreams as it has great healing power.
