Happy Birthday Star Sister Angel Angie Here are your Gifts! Page 1 The Legend of the Dreamcatcher Many moons ago a young Native American maiden was shown in a dream how a spider web was spun. She was then shown how to weave a web and make the first ever dreamcatcher. The maiden was told that the dreamcatcher would catch bad dreams and strengthen the connection between creation (Mother Earth) and the spirit world. Only good dreams could make their way through the small hole in the center.
