He was hung over the bed and believed that the talisman would save from nightmares, they would be confused in his web. Joyful and funny dreams will easily pass through a small hole in the center of the amulet.

The dream catcher itself and each of its elements are very symbolic. The ancient legends of the North American Indians are associated with the talisman.

So, according to one of them, the elder of the Aborigines of North America, the people of Lakota, received a high vision on the mountain. In it, he talked with a spider in which the teacher Ictomi reincarnated. During the conversation, the spider web, a symbol of human being:

1. The vicious circle that the spider created from the willow’s twig symbolizes the cyclicality of a person’s life: he is born in a baby, and adults take care of him. Growing up, he gives the life of new babies, and now he is entitled to take care of them. And so again and again, to infinity
2. The threads woven by a spider inside the ring are numerous life paths that seem to man. And no one knows which one is the most correct
3. The web from the threads is designed to protect a person from the bad and the evil, as if filtering him
4. The hole in the center of the talisman is the soul of a person, always and under any circumstances discovered by something good and good
5. Feathers decorating the talisman is air, without which a person cannot survive

Directly with good and bad dreams, the talisman is connected by another legend, according to which a woman - Spider Asabikashi gave his Indians. Her children were all people of the Earth. But when there were too many of them, and they settled on the four cardinal points, Asabikashi had to teach women to take care of their babies themselves. She taught them to weave dream catchers and hang them over the cribs so that the babies would not bother nightmares.

Important: by the way, a ritual object, similar to an Indian dream catcher, had Siberian shamans. Ordinary people did not use it. A hoop with a web served as a kind of network, which fell both evil and good spirit, to appear at night a shaman in a dream

Today, the dream catcher has been popularized. Few people understand his sacred meaning. Most often, a curiosity is hung in their own house to decorate the interior, especially if it is decorated in an ethnic style.
