The decorations that make it up are different for each dreamcatcher. According to popular belief, the dream catcher is supposed to prevent bad dreams to invade the sleep of the holder. Acting as a filter, it retains the beautiful images of the night and burn the bad with the first light of day. Today, dream catchers are hung on the edge of the window where the sun rises, so that sunlight can destroy the bad dreams that are installed in the Pearl of the canvas. Millions of people today use a dream catcher to help counter the nightmares. And today, the real dream catchers that were created by indigenous hands can never be bought. The dream catcher is to be given by the artisan without being touched by another person or the person who first touches the catcher will be the new owner of it. There are stories in the Sioux language telling a legend, the story of Iktomi, the spider behind the dream catcher, which is yet not from that culture (it is not even a word in this language for this purpose). There are now the dream catcher in the craft of most Native American cultures north. According to the Huron culture, humans are all part of the Great Spirit, creator of nature and man. This suggests dreams so we can better understand us. The dream is the vehicle for the exchange between man and the nature made great mind Spirit. According to the same culture, the dream is an expression of the needs of the soul. It is also essential to meet the needs of the soul than the body. The dream can be released. It provides balance. If we listened to the approach that dreams offer us, we understand much better the needs of the soul. The dream catcher is used to help control the dreams, to the extent that one can control his thoughts, his life. Originally, it was for children who were bad dreams. This is a small hoop made of a tree branch. In this hoop, a net is woven as a spider web with a hole in the center. During the night, bad dreams remain caught in the net, to be burned by the first light of day. The good dreams pass through the center hole to be kept in pens installed around the hoop. The feathers are love, gentleness and goodness. You can also insert the sensor on the net, small valuables, like a small colored stone or other object that is precious to us. The sensor helps the child better understand his ideas and allows the adult to check the fears of the child. The small learns to sort through the thoughts he wants to keep and those he wants to divest. Long ago, when the world was still young, in a native village, an Indian was sleeping with his brothers and sisters in the longhouse. One day the man went out hunting to get the meal for the next few moons. He set off to find a moose drinking from a pure spring water flowing from the mountain. He crossed rivers with courage and determination, without seeing deer or moose in the area. He decided to go to the mountain itself, thinking that the meal would soon be put to fire. Along the way, he saw an immense cave which could be any animal. He entered the dark room by projecting all his hopes. In the cave, the spirit of the moose was absent. An evil spirit had taken place. The man felt ill, some of a dark presence in these depths. Then a beast arises. Eye color of blood, hair as black as night, a snub nose and fangs ready to bite the flesh. The man jumped up and fled in a panic, leaving behind him his bow with a tiny glimmer of hope to stay alive. Back in the village, the man with empty arms. No food, no weapons to hunt other animals. And he was terrified to go back to hunting. The same evening, he was unable to sleep. Every time he fell asleep, he still saw those eyes the color of blood and fix the hair black beast ready to devour him. The next night he tried again to sleep well, but to no avail. Night after night, moon after moon, the man could not sleep peacefully. The spirit of the beast in the eyes of blood haunted him. Several suns passed and nothing changed. One night the man got up after a nightmare. He left the village and went into the forest. But, exhausted, he fell asleep on the ground covered with branches. The next day at dawn, the man woke impressed: he had nature made great mind no nightmare. He looked up and saw a spider web beaded where the morning dew.
