Dreams have always held many meanings to native Americans. One of the old Ojibwa traditions was to hang a dreamcatcher in their lodge. They believed that dreams float around in the air, both good and bad. A dream catcher when hung moves freely in the night air and catches the dreams as they float by. The good dreams know the way and slip through the hold in the center, then slide down so softly that often the sleeper below doesn't even know he or she is dreaming. The bad dreams not knowing the way, get entangled in the webbing and perish with the first light of the new day. They would hang a small one above the children's sleeping area or on the baby's cradle board. Somethimgs they would hang a large one in their lodge to insure all good dreams.
