Dreamcatcher
Woven hoop charm
A dreamcatcher is a handcrafted hoop with woven netting and hanging feathers, originating from Ojibwe tradition and later adopted across Native American cultures.
Traditionally hung above beds, it supposedly filters dreams—letting good ones pass through while trapping nightmares in the web.
The object has become widely commercialized as decor, jewelry, and tattoo designs, often divorced from its cultural origins: She hung a dreamcatcher from her rearview mirror.
