Hand made dream catcher 18 inches long, large circle is 6 1/2 inches wide and long. Dreamcatcher Legend: Dreamcatchers are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native Americans. It was intended to protect us from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams slip through the hole in the center of the dreamcatcher, and glide to us down the feathers. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and evaporate when the first rays of sun light would appear. The hoop was held in the highest esteem symbolizing strength and unity. ***Pictured item will be sent***
