Spiritual Dream Catcher
Posted : admin On 3/29/2022Jan 30, 2019 The spiritual leader brought this knowledge back to his people who began to use dreamcatchers to filter their dreams and capture all the good ones and let the bad ones go. In Modern Day In the modern era, dreamcatchers were used by some Native American cultures as a symbol of unity throughout the Pan-Indian Movement of the 1960s-70s.

Dream Catchers are a spiritual tool used to help assure good dreams to those that sleep under them. A dream catcher is usually placed over a place you would sleep where the morning light can hit it. As you sleep all dreams from the spirit world have to pass through the dream catcher. Jul 25, 2018 A typical dream catcher is made of a small wooden hoop in the centre covered in a web or net made of natural fibers and some meaningful and symbolic items like beads, feathers and shells are attached to the bottom of the hoop. The dreamcatcher filters out the bad dreams and allows only good thoughts to enter into our minds when we are asleep. A small hope in the center of the dreamcatcher is where the good dreams come through. With the first rays of sunlight, the bad dreams will perish.
I was lucky enough to share a relationship with a shaman of the Whitefeather, a man caled Robert J Titus and he taught me something about ‘Dream catchers’ or the things people were selling in our country as ‘Dreamcatchers’.
A ‘Dream catcher’ is a hoop or roundish web with small fetish items inside the web to aid the passage of good spirits and keep bad ones at bay while you sleep. The thing is the web should not last forever, it must be reworked from time to time and the items changed in it’s embrace. The wood that is used should be conisdered and thought about before being used, willow is good for healing dreams, aspen for ancestors, pine for strength and spirit sight.
Many people buy these things without thought, they see the pretty colours and dangling objects on the end of mass dyed chicken feathers and wonder why it doesn’t do as it said it would on the little leaflet. A Dream catcher should be made for a ‘PURPOSE’, it should have a ‘FINITE’ existance in the world before it is reworked and made anew. Your attention should be on the thing you want the web to do as you weave it, each knot you make in the construction is a holy promise and it needs care to be done well. Even the colour and thread count of the weaving material should be understood and taken into consideration.
Now I’m no Native American, I’m English Tinker and Roma, we had charms and mobiles of metal that rang when the spirits were angry or upset. But I used Roberts advice and I make my own ‘Dream catchers’ and ‘Spirit traps’. I use Willow for healing, Holly for strength and endurance, Ash for Ancestors and World Tree, Ivy for the Spiral Dance of the Universe, each tree, each plant has it’s power and can be woken to work with, if you have the patience and skill.
Colours, threads, bead materials, metals, feathers and shells that dangle from the hoop or round have meaning. I run classes to teach people how to weave their own, and the silence that drops over everyone when they start to build the hoop is filled with energy and power. It’s as if they understand without being told that they need to concentrate all they are on this small hoop in their hands. That this piece of themselves is the thing they need the most right now and will aim to achieve it the best way they can. Once the skill is learned it’s not often forgotten.
Have a look at the ones you see made with fishing lure string, the ones with the hole in the centre so small, the perfect form of a machine made item, the ones made with metal hoops and metal thread. It can’t work because you didn’t give it a purpose as you made it, you didn’t give it a job to do, you put nothing of yourself into the web to power it.
For it to do it’s job well, to guard you as you sleep and to keep your drifting soul safe from the other spirits out there that would harm you it needs to be charged and made by you for that purpose. A ‘Spirit trap’ is a hoop with no central hole, or a hole so small the spirit cannot get through it to safety, many of these machine made ‘hoops’ I’d classify as ‘traps’. They trap the spirit until the dawn light comes and burns the thing up in the morning light but if the hoop sees no sun then it can’t burn the problem away can it? What’s the point of having a hoop if it can’t turn in the breeze or see the sun? They should be hung ‘up’, not plastered to a wall.
Spirit traps are best over a front door to keep out unwelcome guests who may try to sneak in as passengers on others shoulders, they get snared by the trap and kept there till dawn light sends them home again.
Learn how to weave your own, use the wood around you, learn the symbols of colours, the properties of metals and the powers of ‘gifts’ from stone and feathered ones. Then when you know what you want to make, make it and put yourself inside it, then when you hang it you honour all those before you and the powers that stand with you. Make your medicine, don’t buy it.
