Dreamcatcher
About “Dreamcatcher”:
In some Native American and First Nations cultures, a dreamcatcher is a handmade willow hoop, on which is woven a net or web. It may also be decorated with sacred items such as certain feathers or beads. Traditionally, dreamcatchers are hung over a cradle or bed as protection. It originates in Anishinaabe culture as "the spider web charm" – asubakacin 'net-like' ; bwaajige ngwaagan 'dream snare' – a hoop with woven string or sinew meant to replicate a spider's web, used as a protective charm for infants.
