Hanging dreamcatcher on wire frame Hamsa hand shape Rainbow coloured cotton tassels with beads Approximate size: 26(w) x 56(h) cm (plus string from which to hang) Legend has it the first dream catcher was created by a spider, the spiritual protector of a Native Indian tribe, it could not defend all its people as the tribe grew and spread out. It was created to watch over people furthest away from the motherland by protecting them as they slept, keeping harm away whilst at their most vulnerable. It’s said that when hung above the bed in a place where the morning sunlight can hit it, the dream catcher attracts and catches all sorts of dreams and thoughts into its webs throughout the night.
