If you watch the purple curse cloud, there are yellow light flashes that seem to match the color of dreamcatcher magic. When I was watching, I thought that perhaps the dreamcatcher was the catalyst for the memory spell to be inflicted on the area the curse was affecting and then the dreamcatchers manifested in physical form where Emma wanted because she cast the memory spell. She took all of the main characters' memories with one dreamcatcher, but then to give them back gave each separate dreamcatchers. That was my rationalization of what happened anyway.
