Navajo Dream Catchers

Originating with the Chippewa tribe, dream catchers were traditionally hung over infant cradles to protect sleeping children from nightmares. The legend surrounding dream catchers is that dreams, both good and bad, are attracted to the webbing from the night air as they float by. Good dreams, because they're pure, are instinctively able to navigate through the small hole in the center of the dream catcher, and then slide down the feathers and enter into the sleeper's dream world. Bad dreams, however, because they are evil by nature, will become entangled in the webbing and subsequently perish at first daylight.

Eventually, the tradition of the dream catcher was adopted by almost all Native American tribes, including the Navajo. Today, authentic Navajo dream catchers are being hand crafted and sold by many Navajo artisans. Perhaps you should consider hanging one or two Navajo dream catchers in your wigwam.

Caution is advised when purchasing "Navajo dream catchers" on internet auction sites. Many, low priced imitations that you see are mass produced in foreign countries. If you are looking to buy an authentic dream catcher that was actually made by a Navajo Indian - because it's important to you to have the real thing - then you should read the auction listing carefully looking for guarantees of authenticity, and purchase only from sellers with high feedback ratings.
