Dream catchers are said to act as dream filters, allowing only good dreams to reach the sleeper!

The dream catcher is a handmade craft originated from the Native American culture and now have become popular with everyone.The idea is to hang the dream catcher over one’s bed and it's supposed to catch nightmares in its webs while allowing the good dreams and positive thoughts to escape through the middle hole and enter the sleeping mind.
