The Best Dreamcatcher Tattoos for a Good Night’s Sleep


146

Dreamcatcher tattoos are here. The dreamcatcher was originally created by the Ojibwe or Chippewa people. They are the native Americans and native Canadians. This handmade web in a willow loop decorated with feathers and other sacred objects was a unity symbol of the Native Americans.

Legend has it that a spider woman named Asibikaashi took care of the children and the rest of the natives on the land. But eventually, the Ojibwe spread in different areas of the land and could no longer reach them all. So all the mothers wove magical webs (fine yarns) for their children even infants using willow hoops, cordage or sinew that are made from plants.

It filters out bad dreams and only lets good dreams go through people’s and children’s minds. When the sun rises, all of the bad dreams will be gone. The meaning and purpose of these dreamcatchers are still the same when you get dreamcatcher tattoos.

So for those of you who often have nightmares when you sleep, dreamcatcher tattoos would be great for you. It was tried and tested by the natives in the Americas. For that, I am already convinced.
