The dream catcher is a wall-mounted furniture item in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

The dream catcher can be obtained in a letter from Gulliver after the player speaks to him and answers with the correct location.

No villagers have this item in their home, nor do any characters have this item in their RV.

Real-world information

Real life image of a dream catcher.

Asabikeshiinh, translated as "spider" in Ojibwe, or commonly known as a dreamcatcher, is a spider-web like hoop ornament made of willow, and decorated with sacred items, such as feathers and beads. The dreamcatcher originates from the Ojibwe nation as a way to protect infants with a special charm in part due to the wide distribution of the Ojibwe at the time.

In recent years however, the dreamcatcher has also become symbolic of the Pan-Native American movements in Canada and the United States, and has become popularized by the 1990s. However, its popularity resulted in increased commercialized of the item, creating skepticism among Native American groups due to their inauthenticity to Native culture.[1] More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia.
