Beautiful shot! Jim gave me a dream catcher one year for my birthday. I kept in on my dresser for years. Since our move it is…somewhere still packed in a box. After two years, we still have unpacked boxes. Now I want to find this one! You brought back a wonderful memory!
They are supposed to hang on your bedroom door or window. Keep bad dreams away. These are actually not dream catchers. They are medicine wheels, though they share a strong family resemblance.
They are both Medicine Wheels. One is Souix, the other maybe Apache, but I don’t remember for sure. I have a lot of these … both Medicine Wheels and Dream Catchers. I have them all over the house. Many were gifts when I was sick, so I’m a bit fuzzy on details:-)
Fuzzy is a constant state of being with me nowadays! I’ve never heard of medicine wheels, but then, I’d never heard of dream catchers either till Mr King wrote his book! lol
Google it and you’ll get a lot of information. I’ll ask Cherrie for a good source, but any tribal website should have at least some information. Just not Wikipedia for this stuff. They publish a lot of rubbish.
Dream Catchers have a kind of spider web design in the wheel. Medicine Wheels have four bars facing north, south, east and west. Otherwise they look very similar and you’ll see them in the same places. A lot of these were originally in my teepee, but it is gone and I brought my stuff inside. I sure miss my teepee!
With camera in hand, exploring European lands, cultures, food, and drink...mostly with a plan, but sometimes enjoying the adventure of just getting lost.

Oh! I did not know about the medicine wheels. When I find my dream catcher, on the bedroom door it goes!!!

I love this shot. It looks like a double dream catcher? Good for catching twice the dreams!
