Finally, we go to old age where we must be taken care of as infants, completing the cycle.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;But,&quot; Iktomi said as he continued to spin his web, &quot;in each time of life there are many forces \u2014 some good and some bad. If you listen to the good forces, they will steer you in the right direction. But if you listen to the bad forces, they will hurt you and steer you in the wrong direction.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &quot;There are many forces and different directions that can help or interfere with the harmony of nature, and also with the great spirit and-all of his wonderful teachings.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>All the while the spider spoke, he continued to weave his web starting from the outside and working toward the center.<\/p>\n<p>When Iktomi finished speaking, he gave the Lakota elder the web and said\u2026&quot;See, the web is a perfect circle but there is a hole in the center of the circle.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He said, &quot;Use the web to help yourself and your people to reach your goals and make good use of your people&#039;s ideas, dreams and visions.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If you believe in the great spirit, the web will catch your good ideas \u2014 and the bad ones will go through the hole.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The Lakota elder passed on his vision to his people and now the <a href=\"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/mythes-et-legendes-siouans-2127\/\">Sioux<\/a> Indians use the <a href=\"\/en\/native-american-art-for-sale\/painted-pony\/dreamcatchers.html\/\">dream catcher<\/a> as the web of their life.<\/p>\n<p>It is hung above their beds or in their home to sift their dreams and visions.<\/p>\n<p>The good in their dreams are captured in the web of life and carried with them\u2026but the evil in their dreams escapes through the hole in the center of the web and are no longer a part of them.<\/p>\n<p>They believe that the dream catcher holds the destiny of their lives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sioux Mythology Wiki The Lakotas or Titunwans (\u201cprairie people\u201d) or Tetons in English (traditional Dakota\/Wyoming territory) constituted \u2026 <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":3889,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21882","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21882"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21895,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21882\/revisions\/21895"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
