Dream Catcher sometimes is known as "Sacred Hoops," this has been used to protect sleeping people, usually children, from nightmares and bad dreams traditionally.
Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams, both good and bad.
The dream catcher will attract and catch all sorts of dreams and thoughts into its webs when it is hung above the bed in a place where the morning sunlight can hit it.
Good dreams will slide down the feathers to comfort the sleeper below while the dream catcher will keep bad dreams in its protective net and destroy them when the sun is up.
