Facts and history about the life and lifestyles of Native American Indians. The Native American Dream Catcher, or Dreamcatcher, was devised by the Woodland group of Native Indians as a protective charm or device, originally for the children of the tribes. The Dream catcher was believed to protect a person from the bad spirits that appeared in bad dreams and nightmares. The dream catcher was constructed in a spider web design using a wooden hoop that was attached to a woven web or loose net, so it looked like a spider's web. The dream catcher was then decorated with sacred and personal objects such as feathers and beads.
