Dream Catchers

what's the mythology behind dream catchers?

is it possible that dream catchers can create bad nightmares??? I put one over my bed and ever since I have been having nightmares.. < .<
ari that was actually really helpful

Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams both good and bad. The dream catcher when hung over or near your bed swinging freely in the air, catches the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher, slipping through the outer holes and slide down the soft feathers so gently that many times the sleeper does not know that he/she is dreaming. The bad dreams not knowing the way get tangled in the dream catcher and perish with the first light of the new day.

Hoped this helped. If not, try to sleep with an amethyst under your pillow, it helps repel negative energy and psychic attacks. Or maybe the dreamcatcher is trying to teach you something about your sub-conscious and how you actually feel deep down inside.

Good luck!
