The Piaute Native Americans believe the night air is filled with dreams, both good and bad. The dream catcher, when hung, moves freely and catches dreams as they float by. The good dreams know the way and slip through the center hole. They slide off the soft feathers so gently that many times the sleeper doesn’t know their dreaming . The bad dreams not knowing the way, get entangled in the webbing and perish with the first light of the new day.
