Dreamcatchers research

I enjoy creating dream-catchers and I find the process of making them methodical and repetitive which helps put me into an almost meditative state. I go in to an almost zen state where making the dream-catcher is all I think about and is all I do. Despite this, I feel I should know about more about dream-catchers and their history and purpose as all I know is they stop bad dreams and encourage good dreams.

A quick explanation of what dream-catchers do. I didn't realise that the good dreams are meant to slide down the feathers, so that's a new fact I've got now.

some more history, mostly the same as the previous two sites I've looked at so far.
