Dream Catchers were first originated by the traditions of Native Americans centuries ago and have been a part of their culture for many generations. Dream Catcher represent the 4 elements of life; Earth, Air, Water and Fire.
They were originally designed to hang above the bed to protect the sleeper from negative dreams while sleeping, allowing only positive peaceful dreams, while the negative dreams got caught in the web unable to pass through. It was intended that the good dreams would slip through the holes in the center of the dream catcher and travel down the feathers to the person sleeping below it.
