The belief behind this is that the sunlight destroys the bad dreams. The best place for a dream catcher is above the bed or where sunlight is present. I am sure my childhood nightmares are stored away in my basement of my parents’ house. I never did that with the dream catcher I created. While researching the history of dream catchers I found out that a dream catcher must be shaken before sunrise to get rid of the bad dreams. I knew I wouldn’t have anymore nightmares if my dream catcher was there to filter out the scary ones. I took it home and proudly hung it above my bed. We hung feathers from the bottom and other crafts to make it our own. Honestly, it wasn’t so my friend did it for me. Because it seemed like the easiest shape to make out of twine. From there we could create any design in the middle. My art teacher had us wrap twine around a metal hoop. I made my first dream catcher when I was in grade school during art class.
