In some Native American and First Nations cultures, a dreamcatcher or dream catcher (Ojibwe: asabikeshiinh, the inanimate form of the word for 'spider')^[1] is a handmade willow hoop, on which is woven a net or web. The dreamcatcher may also include sacred items such as certain feathers or beads. Traditionally they are often hung over a cradle as protection.^[2] It originates in Anishinaabe culture as the 'spider web charm' (Anishinaabe: asubakacin 'net-like', White Earth Band; bwaajige ngwaagan 'dream snare', Curve Lake Band^[3]), a hoop with woven string or sinew meant to replicate a spider's web, used as a protective charm for infants.^[2]

Dreamcatchers were adopted in the Pan-Indian Movement of the 1960s and 1970s and gained popularity as a widely marketed 'Native crafts items' in the 1980s. ^[4]

Ojibwe origin[edit]

Ethnographer Frances Densmore in 1929 recorded an Ojibwe legend according to which the 'spiderwebs' protective charms originate with Spider Woman, known as Asibikaashi; who takes care of the children and the people on the land. As the Ojibwe Nation spread to the corners of North America it became difficult for Asibikaashi to reach all the children.^[2] So the mothers and grandmothers weave webs for the children, using willow hoops and sinew, or cordage made from plants. The purpose of these charms is apotropaic and not explicitly connected with dreams:

Even infants were provided with protective charms. Examples of these are the 'spiderwebs' hung on the hoop of a cradle board. In old times this netting was made of nettle fiber. Two spider webs were usually hung on the hoop, and it was said that they 'caught any harm that might be in the air as a spider's web catches and holds whatever comes in contact with it.'^[2]

Basil Johnston, an elder from Neyaashiinigmiing, in his Ojibway Heritage (1976) gives the story of Spider (Ojibwe: asabikeshiinh, 'little net maker') as a trickster figure catching Snake in his web.^{[5][clarification needed]}

Modern uses[edit]

While Dreamcatchers continue to be used in a traditional manner in their communities and cultures of origin, a derivative form of 'dreamcatchers' were also adopted into the Pan-Indian Movement of the 1960s and 1970s as a symbol of unity among the various Native American cultures, or a general symbol of identification with Native American or First Nations cultures.^[4]

The name 'dream catcher' was published in mainstream, non-Native media in the 1970s^[6] and became widely known as a 'Native crafts item' by the 1980s,^[7]by the early 1990s 'one of the most popular and marketable' ones.^[8]

In the course of becoming popular outside the Ojibwe Nation during the Pan-Native movement in the '60s, various types of 'dreamcatchers', many of which bear little resemblance to traditional styles, and that incorporate materials that would not be traditionally used, are now made, exhibited, and sold by New age groups and individuals. Some Native Americans have come to see these 'dreamcatchers' as over-commercialized, like 'sort of the Indian equivalent of a tacky plastic Jesus hanging in your truck,' while others find it a loving tradition or symbol of native unity. ^[4]

A mounted and framed dreamcatcher is being used as a shared symbol of hope and healing by the Little Thunderbirds Drum and Dance Troupe from the Red Lake Indian Reservation in Minnesota. In recognition of the shared trauma and loss experienced, both at their school during the Red Lake shootings, and by other students who have survived similar school shootings, they have traveled to other schools to meet with students, share songs and stories, and gift them with the dreamcatcher. The dreamcatcher has now been passed from Red Lake to students at Columbine CO, to Sandy Hook CT, to Marysville WA, to Townville SC, to Parkland FL.^[9][10][11]

1. Dream Catcher 3 Kayak

   Posted by Elaine Costin on 19th May 2020

   It was a little weird purchasing online, sight unseen, but the video was a great help and we were so happy with one Kayak that we purchased a second one.

   Posted by nathan on 4th Jan 2018

   I bought 4 of these kayaks for Christmas 2017. Great fun and great stability. Kids love them and so do I. Light and stack easily for storage and transport. These guys also had great service and we're very helpful. Awesome kayaks and awesome value! :-)

4. Kayaks for Christmas

   Posted by Janelle and Aden Perry on 4th Jan 2018

   My husband and I have wanted kayaks for quite awhile so that's what we got each other for Christmas and we love them! We bought two Dream 3 fishing kayaks and are really impressed at how comfortable and stable they are and also how well they glide through the water. We are also pleased at how friendly and helpful the staff were when we picked our kayaks up at Yatala and are also impressed with the after sales service we have received.

5. Great Toy

   Posted by Unknown on 30th Dec 2017

   Awesome product, friendly staff and convenient location. Nice colours and easy to use.

6. Awesome Yak

   Posted by Peter Arch on 24th Dec 2017

   Spent eight days straight kayaking Severn River for Murray Cod. Found it had a great layout, was stable & easy to steer when landing fish. Comfort level was good & biggest day was 9.5 Hrs & I didn't get off sore. I did break off part of both sides of the paddle while trying to get over rocks & lifting myself off submerged tree branches in the first five days. Sourced another paddle & happy days. All round great kayak & I will be lining up for the new one when available with the raised deck chair style seat.
   Definitely worth the money.
   Cheers guys for a great trip.

7. Does what i hhooed it would

   Posted by Damian on 17th Nov 2017

   Bought it to chuck lures around the creeks with and have found it good for this purpose. The additional rod holder in the centre is handy and the storage is good. More stable than I thought it would be too.

8. Absolutely perfect for the whole family :-)

   Posted by Rachael on 17th Jul 2017

   Having had more expensive kayaks previously, I made sure I researched and read as many reviews as possible prior to purchasing. These kayaks are exactly what we need and perfect for the whole family. Very sturdy on the water and plenty of space on board. Most importantly, with the added bonus of delux seats, these kayaks make for an extremely comfortable ride. Will be purchasing a double asap.

9. Ocean Camo DC3

   Posted by Dave on 7th Jan 2017

   First off it has been a pleasure dealing with Steele and Rusty when i first inquired about Dream Kayaks. Ever so helpful and informative.
   I bought the DC3 for my partner (i bought the DC4) for when we head out for a quite paddle together but also due to it being a pretty good Kayak set up for fishing so one of the lads could use it if they wanted to join me for a fish. Pretty new to Kayaks but so far have found ot to be a great Kayak. Light, tracks well, turns nicely and is pretty stable.
   Would definitely recommend Dream Kayaks to anyone looking at buying a Kayak.

10. Great Yak

    Posted by Paul J on 21st Nov 2016

    Really nice to paddle. Rod holders are great and heaps of storage. Great price and really friendly customer service. Have taken it out on lakes and in the bay and handles them both just fine. Love it
