The dream catcher was not always used to protect the mind when sleeping. Originally the Dream Catcher was “intended in teaching natural wisdom.” (Double Dee Deals). It is known to design your dream catcher to match you. when using feathers its best to use your sex. “women’s feathers would be from the owl, signifying wisdom.” and The male’s feather would be from the “eagle as a sign of courage”
Each object you put onto your dream catcher has a different meaning. Although there are many variations, a dreamcatcher is basically a small circle of willow that is tied with thread to resemble a spiders web with a small hole in the middle. The strings are tied at several points on the circle, each number of points on the dreamcatcher have different meanings:
* 13 points – the 13 phases of the moon * 8 points – the number of legs on a spider * 7 points – the seven prophecies of the grandfathers * 6 points – an eagle or courage * 5 points – the star
There are many more meanings to the number of points on a dreamcatcher. The significance of numerology (the study of numbers) is of vital importance to the meaning of a dreamcatcher. Native Americans did not write books originally but their art was their way of communicating stories and rights of passage. A language all can see but very few read.
