A Dream Catcher is a handmade object originating from Native American cultures, particularly the Ojibwa (Chippewa) tribe. Traditionally, it consists of a circular frame made of willow, with a woven net or web in the center. The design often includes feathers and beads, which are believed to filter dreams, allowing only positive ones to pass through while trapping negative dreams. Dream Catchers are often hung above a sleeping area, such as a bed, to protect the sleeper from bad dreams. They have become popular decorative items and symbols of spirituality and cultural heritage, transcending their original purpose in many modern contexts.
