Dream Catcher: How to filter your dreams


It’s wonderful to see the growth of people embracing craft from sewing to jewellery making to up-cycling. I recently had a gift from a friend of a necklace in the shape of a dream- catcher bought from a stall at Northcote Road Market London. Like many I am fascinated and take inspiration from sacred symbols that have evolved with time. This is the year to find the power in sacred symbols and can be used as a tool to help you to discover different parts of yourself and inner wisdom.
The dream-catcher originates from a Native American Tribe called Ojibwe and is related to the myth of spider-women whose role it was to take care of children and help bring the sun back to the tribe The Ojibwe tribe migrated to the four corners of North America and so had a difficult time making her way to all her children. With the help of the women in the tribe they began weaving magical webs for new babies known as dream catchers made from willow and string made from plants and were hung above their cots. The dream-catcher is said to filter bad dreams and allow only good dreams to enter, in the morning when the sun’s rays hit the dream-catcher and as the light sparkles this is when the bad dreams evaporate.
To find inner wisdom and clarity, meditate on a Dream- catcher. Photocopy a dream-catcher mandala find a quiet place and colour in. As you relax and fill the mandala with colour ask your Higher guide (or spider-women)to let positive dreams enter your dream time. Ask for dreams that will show you guidance in your everyday life.
