Dream Catcher 06

The Anishinabe have a legend about the origin of dreamcatchers. They talk about the spider woman Asibikaashi, who took care of all the people and children of the country. When the people of Anishinabe spread all over North America, it became difficult for Asibikaashi to reach all the children. So she taught the mothers and grandmothers to weave magical nets with willow tires and plant fibers. These nets would then catch all bad dreams and only let the good dreams through. And when the sun came up, all the bad dreams caught up dissolved with the first rays.
