They usually consist of a small wooden hoop covered in a net or web of natural fibers, with meaningful sacred items like feathers and beads attached, hanging down from the bottom of the hoop. Originally created by American Indians, dreamcatchers today come in a variety of different sizes and styles. The dream catcher I chose was made by Tiffany George, an artist with the Navajo Tribe.
I found it very interesting and thought I would pass this information along here. Before selecting one of the many offered for sale, I read the placard that explained the meaning of these sacred symbols in Native American culture. The last time I was in Quartzsite, I stopped into a more upscale-looking shop in search of a dream catcher to hang in my van.
