Originally,Native American Ojibway dreamcatchers (from one of the largest groups of Native Americans in the north of Mexico;they are the fourth-largest in the USA, surpassed only by Navajo,Cherokee and the Sioux) were made as a charm to protect sleeping children from nightmares.The legend is that the dreamcatcher will catch ones dreams in the night.The bad dreams will get caught in the dreamcatchers webbing and disappear with the morning sun.Meanwhile,the good dreams will find their way to the center of the dreamcatcher and float down the feather.The Native American dreamcatcher is therefore considered a filter allowing only good,pleasant dreams to get through.Dreamcatchers are also believed to bless those who are sleeping with good luck and harmony.Dreamcatchers started to get popular in other Native American tribes (Cherokee, Lakota and Navajo).+++Kits:By Celinda:-Native American Digital scrapbook kit/2) North American Indian/Flowers:by Creative Victorian Designs
