it depends on the style of it..usually there are 2 to 4 feathers on them.
what does it mean when the feathers fall off a dreamcatcher
No, it is not necessary to kill any bird to make a dream catcher. Birds naturally molt (shed) their feathers, which can then be used for crafts. These days, many crafters purchase beautiful feathers from catalogs and art supply stores.
The types of materials used when making a dream catcher would be feathers, scissors, string of many colours, glue and wire to make the base of the circles. Beads and sparkles could also be included in the list of materials depending on the type of dream catcher you are crafting.
The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.
They are purely decoration, they work OK without them, it's the net and feathers that do the work, the net catches the dreams then they slide down the feathers to the recipient, which is why they are over the sleeping persons head...
No, it is perfectly fine to purchase (or make) a dream catcher for oneself. The power of the dream catcher lies in the dreamer's confidence in the symbolic meaning of the charm, not in the physical dream catcher itself.
The duration of The Dream Catchers is 2700.0 seconds.
Bullpen Catcher's Dream was created in 2000-10.
Hanging a dream catcher in a particular direction is not important. The important thing to understand is that the dream catcher is only a symbol of the magic within the dreamer.

I'm sure you can buy dream catcher materials in any craft store.
