The dreamcatcher, in English, has its roots in the culture of Native American peoples, especially among the Ojibwa (Chippewa) tribes. Originally, these objects were believed to be protectors of dreams, designed to filter out nightmares and allow only positive dreams to reach those sleeping under their influence. Traditionally, a dreamcatcher consists of a hoop, symbolizing the cycle of life, and a woven net or mesh inside, representing the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.
Decorative elements, such as feathers and beads, have specific meanings: feathers are seen as messengers of dreams, while beads can symbolize wisdom and protection. The meaning of the dreamcatcher goes beyond its decorative function. It is considered a symbol of hope, protection, and the pursuit of inner peace. By hanging a dreamcatcher in the home or bedroom, one invites positive energy and creates a conducive space for rest and tranquility.
Today, the dreamcatcher has transcended its cultural origins and has become a popular symbol worldwide, appreciated not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its profound spiritual significance.
I have decided to make a dreamcatcher because I am fascinated by the idea of combining creativity with tradition. Dreamcatchers are not only beautiful decorative objects, but they also hold a deep meaning in Indigenous culture, as they are believed to filter dreams, allowing only the good ones to pass through. By creating one, I can express my personal style while also paying tribute to this rich cultural heritage. Additionally, it’s a way to bring a touch of magic and positivity to the spaces of those who have it, which fills me with joy. It’s a project that unites art and meaning!
I think this would be a great Lego set, both for its meaning and its popularity. It could be a fantastic functional decorative piece since it's designed to be hung anywhere. With a diameter of 31 cm and 775 pieces, double sided model, it presents a building challenge that could be sold at an affordable price.
