Dreamcatchers come with a symbolic representation, where they were traditionally used as objects to protect sleeping people, usually children, from bad dreams and nightmares. Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams - good as well as bad.

This is where Dreamcatchers come into the picture. It was believed when they were 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. Pleasant dreams pass through and gently slide down the feathers to comfort the sleeper below. Bad dreams, however, are caught up in its protective net and destroyed, burned up in the light of day.

Carrying this traditional belief forward is what has made dreamcatchers this popular in present times. With this thought in mind, this could be an excellent gift for your mom this mother’s day - a gift filled with a beautiful idea and due consideration.

We picked this dreamcatcher with floral print. The fluffy shade of blue, pink and black tassels hanging on them blend beautifully with any ambience and adds to the charm of the dreamcatcher, making it a great addition as home decor as well.
