A dreamcatcher is a handmade object originating from Native American cultures, particularly the Ojibwe tribe. Traditionally, it consists of a circular frame made from willow, with a woven net or web in the center. The design often includes feathers and beads, which are believed to help filter dreams. Dreamcatchers are hung above a sleeping area to protect the sleeper from bad dreams. According to tradition, good dreams pass through the web and slide down the feathers to the sleeper, while bad dreams become trapped in the web and disappear with the morning light.
