The legend of the Dream Catcher is believed to have originated many generations ago in the Sioux Nation. The Dream Catcher was hung in the teepee, above someone sleeping, to guard against bad dreams. The Dream Catcher allowed good dreams to pass through and slide down the feathers onto the sleeper. But a bad dream would become entangled in the Dream Catcher, and in the morning the sun would melt it away. To this day many people believe in the power of the Dream Catcher.
