A traditional woven hoop decorated with beads, feathers, and intricate webbing. The Dreamcatcher appears handcrafted, though its materials seem impossibly preserved - the feathers never deteriorate, the webbing never frays, and the beads retain an otherworldly shimmer.
In the Backrooms, where the boundary between waking and dreaming becomes dangerously thin, the Dreamcatcher serves as a vital protective artifact. It is said to filter dreams and provide protection during rest.
The Dreamcatcher provides benefits when resting in the Backrooms. Its effects may include protection from sanity loss during sleep, filtering of nightmares, or other restorative bonuses.
Full effects under ongoing research.
The Dreamcatcher can be found in various locations throughout the Backrooms. Look for it in areas associated with rest or sanctuary.
Traditional dreamcatchers were believed to trap bad dreams in their webs while allowing good dreams to pass through. In the Backrooms, where dreams can become real and nightmares hunt the living, such protection takes on literal significance.
"I hung it above where I sleep. The nightmares still come, but now they get stuck. I can see them struggling in the web when I wake." - Unknown Wanderer
