A dreamcatcher is a handmade object originating from Native American culture, particularly associated with the Ojibwe people. Traditionally, it consists of a circular frame made from willow, with a woven net or web in the center. The purpose of a dreamcatcher is to filter out bad dreams and allow good dreams to pass through, providing protection during sleep. Dreamcatchers are often adorned with feathers and beads, which can have specific meanings or significance. They are commonly hung above beds or in sleeping areas. Today, dreamcatchers are popular decorative items and are often used as symbols of spirituality and cultural heritage.
