In the Ojibwa culture, back in the '60s or so, America discovered the dreamcatcher. It's a handmade woven willow hoop with a loose web said to catch "bad" dreams, filtering them to slide down the feathers hanging down to disappear with the light of day. "Good" dreams, however, could pass through, unfiltered, on to the child sleeping. They were originally created to protect the Chippewa children.
My fave area of Sociology, by the way, has always been CULTURE and CUSTOMS.
