First research the Traditional Native American belief in dream catchers. Depending on where you live you could look into Native Americans groups in your area. Some have classes that teach how to make dream catchers and medicine wheels in the traditional way. Some colleges might have a Native American class that could open some doors and enable you to meet people who have a knowledge of this.

Thanks Summerland, but I do not live in the US. I'll have to find some other way of going about it.

I may do that, we live in an area with a lot of Native Americans and maybe I'm sure there are classes on how to make your own dream catcher, or maybe I'll google and make one myself online :)

I looked them up on youtube. Not sure how authentic they are.

Moke the dream catcher catches bad dreams so you don't have bad dreams, the feathers on the dream catcher catches good dreams and let them go to you...if that's the right reason.

I have a bunch of dreamcatchers all over in my bedroom, keeps bad dreams away and only lets the good dreams come through it, but i used to write to a psychic, she told me that if you hang a dreamcatcher over your head where you sleep, you'd have dreams of the next love, that you'll get with, and it happened to me, i dreamed of kissing a guy, outside on the road from my house, he wore a hoodie over his head so i couldn't see his face, i did meet up with a guy like how i seen in my dream, its so cool

So what kind of feathers are to be used in the making of these dream catchers ? I know that only we federally recognized Indians can possess bird of prey feathers(eagles,hawks,owls) here in the states. My tribe and many others did not traditionally make or use dream catchers.
