Long ago, in a dream, a young Indian maiden was shown how Spider Woman had spun her web. She was then shown how to weave the web in to a dream catcher, and told it would be a special way for creation to catch the good dreams and strengthen the connection between creation (Mother Earth) and the spirit world ... so she began to weave the dream catcher.
When she had finished the weaving, she decorated it and hung it from a willow branch above the place where she was to sleep on her blankets. As she fell asleep, during
what she called star time, she began having beautiful dreams.
When she awoke the next morning to greet Mother Sun, she saw colored beads caught in the strands of her web. As she gently
touched one of the beads, Mother Sun spoke to her saying the beads were good dreams she had caught in her dream catcher during star time,
and that unwell dreams had also been caught in the strands of the web, but had vanished in the warm, loving light of Mother Sun. The unwell dreams were gone and creation began to heal itself. Many others now look forward to star time because of this young Indian maiden.
