Dream Catchers

Dream Catchers are sacred tools traditionally created by Indigenous American peoples—especially the Ojibwe (Chippewa) Nation—as spiritual guardians of the dream realm. Woven in a circular frame with a web-like design, these powerful talismans are meant to filter dreams, allowing positive visions to pass through while catching or dissolving nightmares in the light of day.

Over time, dream catchers have become symbolic of protection, healing, and spiritual connection, used widely in sleep spaces, children’s rooms, and sacred altars.

Common Uses:

• Nighttime Protection
  Hang above a bed or cradle to prevent nightmares and negative dream energy.

• Dreamwork & Intuition
  Supports deeper dream recall, symbolism, and communication with spirit during sleep.

• Spiritual Protection
  Acts as a gentle energetic shield, especially in rooms where you sleep, rest, or meditate.

• Altar or Ceremony Decor
  Used in rituals or as part of spiritual decor to honor dream, air, and web-of-life energies.

• Children’s Rooms
  Traditionally gifted to children as spiritual protection and a symbol of love and safety.

Symbolism:

• Circle – Represents the cycles of life and the sacred hoop of existence

• Web – Catches and dissolves bad dreams, fears, or psychic debris

• Feathers – Channel peaceful dreams and represent breath, spirit, and guidance

• Beads or Stones – Often symbolize good dreams, sacred intentions, or vision caught in the web

Cultural Note:
Dream catchers are sacred in origin. We honor and acknowledge their Indigenous roots and encourage respectful use—with gratitude for the traditions from which they come.
