The Ojibwe people have an ancient legend about the origin of the Dreamcatcher.
The Ojibwe people have an ancient legend about the origin of the Dreamcatcher. Storytellers speak of the Spider Woman, known as Asibikaashi, who took care of the children of the people. When the Ojibwe people dispersed to the four corners of North America, Spider Woman had a difficult time making journeys to all the sleeping children, so the mothers, sisters, and grandmothers weaved magical webs for the new babies using willow hoops and sinew. It is in shape of a circle to represent how giizis (the sun) travels each day across the sky. The dreamcatcher will filter out all the giiwanaadingwaam (bad dreams) and allow only good dreams to enter into our minds. There is a small hole in the center where those good dreams may come through. With the first rays of sunlight, the bad dreams will perish.
“Oh Great Spirit, Let my dreams be bigger than my fears, and my actions louder than my words”
