I know the dreamcatcher to be, "the catcher of nightmares" but below is a definition I got from Wikpedia. I created swirling nightmarish lights getting entangled in the web-like openings of the owl instead of just a web This is a back to back dreamcatcher. You can see some of the dreamcatcher in the back on the right side.
"In some Native American and First Nations cultures, a dreamcatcher (Ojibwe: asabikeshiinh, the inanimate form of the word for 'spider')[1] is a handmade willow hoop, on which is woven a net or web. It may also be decorated with sacred items such as certain feathers or beads. Traditionally, dreamcatchers are hung over a cradle or bed as protection.[2] It originates in Anishinaabe culture as "the spider web charm" ? asubakacin 'net-like' (White Earth Nation); bwaajige ngwaagan 'dream snare' (Curve Lake First Nation)[3] ? a hoop with woven string or sinew meant to replicate a spider's web, used as a protective charm for infants.[2]
Hope you enjoy! Put away your fears and Sleep tight My Friends, let the dreamcatcher work for YOU! :o) Helvi
