dream catching

The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.

The dream catcher has been a part of Native American culture for generations. The zuzu girl version (shamelessly posted here) is a flirty interpretation and the materials will vary slightly from the traditional dream catcher…but we like to think the legend still applies!
