As the legend goes, the Dream Catcher was used by the
Woodland Indians and was hung in the lodge, near the bedroom window.
It's use was to catch all dreams, good and bad. The bad dreams
would get caught up in the webbing and be held there until first morning
light, then burned off. Now, the good dreams were caught, and
knowing their way to the hole in the center, would filter down into the
feathers and be held there, only to return another night, to be
dreams.
