Look at the small black creature in the tree's hole to realize that it is hungry. Use the branch in the hole and you will end up with a stave. Look at the 4 hoops of your dream catcher, stuck in the tree.

Go further right and look at the Oneiromancer. Take the handle he is holding. Plant the grape in the ground to the right, then pick up the grape vine. Examine the bush on the right.
