This is the humanized manifestation of Dream Catcher as it fends off the diabolical Dream Eater in the Dreamscape

The Dream Eater, mentioned as the creature in the short story linked above, is a ghostly figure covered in robes and a hood covering its face, leaving only his mouth visible in a toothy grin.
It has has wings for arms, with ruffled and molting feathers, giving the wings a sickly, dying appearance. It uses the wings to sweep the dreams closer to him to absorb them, if he doesn't wish to directly gnaw on them.
The ghostly tail can materialize into legs of the Dream Eater's choice, which is quite often birds' legs to match with its wings.
While it has eyes under its hood, it doesn't see well and mostly relies on its hearing and its ability to sense the presence of dreams around it (pleasant ones and nightmares feel the same).

The Dream Catcher here came out of an idea of clothing designed after the general structure of a real dream catcher.
It's humanized form has long hair that covers the face completely, wears something resembling a tunic with a broad sash at the waistline, and walks bare-feet and with arms exposed.
Hanged from it's arms are twigs tied together to create a frame that holds a dream-catcher-like weaved pattern with red beads embodied in it, and three feathers hanging from the frame.
Dream Catcher doesn't actually fight the Dream Eater, but rather lures it away from the sleeping one, grabbing the poor-sighted creature's attention with the rustle of it's unique cape.

I could use a dreamcatcher some nights.
