Dreamcatchers are believed to have their origins with the Ojibwe Nation. However, many tribes have long had a history of various forms of the dreamcatcher. Dreamcatchers, as their name implies, catch bad dreams in the web to be dispersed when the sun rises. Good dreams simply float through the hole in the center. Various everyday items can adorn the dreamcatcher, such as beads, shells and feathers according to each tribe's beliefs.

Can you wash dream catchers?

No you can not or otherwise it will not workA different response:Of course you can wash a dream catcher, as long as you consider the material the dream catcher is made of. One made of leather or wool should not be immersed in water - wiping with a damp rag or going over it carefully with a soft brush should be sufficient. After all, you don't want a bunch of stale bad dreams clogging up the web. And always remember, the magic is in you, not in the dream catcher.

The dream catcher consists of a net or web, resembling a spider web, that is woven inside a hoop, and often decorated with beads, feathers and other ornaments.
