The dreamcatcher has become popular beyond the Ojibwe communities, many people worldwide have adopted the dreamcatcher as a decorative item or as a symbol of indigenous cultures. This intricate web is also a symbol of the connectedness of all things. It is also said that the web of the dreamcatcher represents the spider, a symbol of a web weaver, a protector and a nurturer, who is known to be a spiritual helper to the Ojibwe people.
The good dreams are then said to slip down the feathers to the sleeper, while the bad dreams get caught in the web and are burned away by the morning sun.
The idea behind the dreamcatcher is that it filters out bad dreams, allowing only good dreams to pass through the web and reach the sleeper. According to Ojibwe tradition, the dreamcatcher was first created by the tribe's spiritual leader, Asibikaashi, as a way to protect children from nightmares. The origin of the dreamcatcher can be traced back to the Ojibwe tribe, one of the largest tribes in North America.
