Long ago an old Lakota spiritual elder was high on a mountain and had a
vision. In his vision, Iktomi, teacher of wisdom, appeared in the form
of a spider. As he spoke, lktomi, picked up the elder's willow hoop and
began to spin a web. He spoke to the elder about the cycles of life, how
we begin as infants and move on through old age. When lktomi finished
speaking, he gave the elder the web and said, "The web is a perfect
circle with a hole in the center. If you believe in the Great Spirit,
the web will catch your good ideas and dreams, and the bad ones will go
through the hole." The elder passed on his vision to the people and that
is why they hang a dream catcher above their bed, to sift their dreams
and visions.
