Dreamcatcher is an amulet of the indigenous

Ojibwa (or Chippewa) culture. The Ojibuas believe

that when night falls, during our sleep, the air fills
with dreams, good and bad.

It is precisely to separate these dreams and bad

energies that there are the filters of dreams.

Legend has it that there were once two tribes at

war. Anger and rancor that generated
disharmonious energies made the children have
nightmares. Then the Great Mother-of-Goddess
came down to the earth and asked the village
shaman to take a Willow vine and to weave it into a
rim while putting protective energies in it. This ring
should be placed over the head of the children's
bed. During sleep the good dreams knew where to
go and are light and free, passing easily through the
central hole. The bad dreams are heavy and
without direction, to which they would be trapped
in the vine and the first rays of sun, the bad
energies were dissipated with the arrival of the
sunshine. The feathers represent the freedom of the birds transmitted to humanity, which
when dreamed in a pure and courageous way, is able to reach the sky.

Although these amulets originated among the Ojibwa nation, they were adopted by many
other indigenous groups and nations of North America, being considered a symbol of
union and fellowship among the peoples of the continents.
