The tradition of developing the dreamcatcher can be traced back to the time of Native American tribes. The dreamcatcher was used in ancient times to ward off bad dreams from young children. According to a mythological tale that prevails among the Ojibwe Chippewa, the native American people, it was a spider woman named "Asibikaashi" who protected the children from bad dreams. Precisely in line with this belief, grandmothers and mothers of little children made dream catchers that resemble a spider web from the twig, flax of plants, and feathers and hung it near the children's bed. According to this popular faith, the dream catcher will catch negative dreams by the web, while the filtering of virtuous-dreams will take place through the hole at the center of the design. The outer circle in the design was for the 'mother earth' indicating the continuous flow of energy, or pattern of life. The other Indian tribes adopted the design, and according to each tradition, the story also changed. Another story the Lakota tribe says that the dreamcatcher was handed over to them by the sacred Iktomi through their spiritual leader. Iktomi appeared as a spider and designed the dreamcatcher while talking with the spiritual leader. He created it in such a way that the negative thoughts are caught in the web, while the virtuous ideas will come out through the hole in the middle, people can attain their goals.
