Dream Catchers
Dream Catchers originated with the Ojibwe people and later became integrated into Native American tribes in the mid 1900's. The dream catcher was thought to protect the sleeper from bad dreams, as they would get caught in the web, while good dreams would flow down the ribbons and feathers onto the dreamer below them.
Dream catchers have become really popular as hippy/boho style decor with many outside of the Native American culture.
I love learning new things and doing crafty stuff, so I decided to learn how to make some dream catchers to add to my Etsy shop.
Here is the first dream catcher I made.
For the second dream catcher I wanted to add some color and flowers.
This dream catcher is still for sale. It can be found here:

I will be making more soon. I really enjoyed creating them.

I wrote a dreamcatcher-related story several months ago. Is there any chance you could make a similar double-hoop design?
I am sure I could figure out how to make a double hoop one like that. However, I dont think a dream catcher would be responsible for keeping you safe at work. I am sorry to hear that you were hit with a fork lift. That is terrible and I hope that you are ok. I am however, interested in what is in that medicine bag that is hanging in the middle. Did you add that to the dream catcher or was it placed there by the Indian? And have you ever opened it?
