Dream catchers are intricate, handmade ornaments rooted in Native American culture. Composed of a circular frame adorned with a web of threads, often woven in patterns reminiscent of a spider's silk, they are traditionally embellished with beads, feathers, and other symbolic elements. Believed to filter out negative dreams, allowing only positive ones to pass through and slide down the feathers to the dreamer, dream catchers serve as both a cultural artifact and a decorative piece with a touch of mystique.
