The Native American’s hung there dream catchers from the ceiling either above your bed, or at the entrance of the tee-pee, or other entrances, this way it allows your dreams to pass through the catcher. Dream for these people were considered a form a communication, there were things to be learned, and they believed that every dream has a purpose. By hanging a dream catcher up it was trap negative energy and send it away, while protecting any valuable information that may come to them in their dreams.
A dream catcher is made from a hoop, with crystals and bead attached to it with feathers, dangling from the outer part of the hoop. Inside the hood was like a web net, with a circle in the center. Dream catchers can be very large, or small enough to hang from the rear-view mirror of your car, depending on the makers, it can be very simple or very extravagant, very place or very colorful.

I remember trying to make some of these at school with my nine year old pupils at school. They were a bit fiddly but the results weren’t bad. An interesting and well written piece.
