They have a story about the origin of the Jingle Dress and its dance both appeared in a recurring vivid dream that was realized about the year 1900. The dream came to a man with an ill daughter and in the dream there were four women, each wearing a jingle dress and dancing. Each dream also gave instructions on how to make the dresses, what types of songs went with them and how the dance was to be performed. The girl was so moved by the dancers that she was following the women and dancing around.
