Sending the bad things away and charging the places with good energy is the function of the filter of dreams. If hung in cribs, they keep children's nightmares away. In windows or in illuminated places, light penetrates the filter and there happens the filtering of energies and dreams, good or bad.
The history of the dream filter is quite old, it is a typical amulet of North American Indian culture, with the power to purify energies. It has other names, such as "dream chaser", "nightmares scare" or "dream catcher". The name derives from the original,
dreamcatcher, from English.The first dream filters come from the “Ojibwa” tribe, from the great lakes of North America. Its members believed that one of the main missions of human beings was to decipher dreams, as they were the ones who taught about nature, the universe and life.
