do dream-catchers attract ghosts?
Laura Mitchell
Or do they just like us??
We've moved from a 3 bdrm. apartment to a house (fairly new).
As soon as we moved the dream-catcher to the new place, we
started getting activity.

Try removing the dreamcatcher from your home for a few weeks.
If the activity stops, you will have your answer. If not,
the I would say you probably ARE a magnet for those invisible
houseguests.*Smile* In any event, good luck.

there was a story about the ghost of a thin woman in Suzzallo who has been
sighted by several workers in the library. If any one has any stories
about hauntings in Suzzallo or anywhere else on campus, I would love to
hear them.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Yes. You see, the belief is this. Bad dreams are caused
by bad spirits, good dreams by good. So the dream catcher
actually is supposed to filter spirits, they are attracted to it,
which is why it works. Keep it. Anything it attracts will not
harm you.

Thanks for the response. This seems to be the case with our
dreamcatcher. We couldn't keep it hung up over our bed, too
much traffic waking us up at night ;).
It is too beautiful, I couldn't get rid of it.

: What the hell is a dream catcher? Where can I get one?
It's an American Indian tool. It's a circle with a 'web' inside
(don't know what it's made of). My dream-catcher description:
The circle is bound with leather, has four double strands of leather
with a feather attached to each double strand and stones strung on the
strands. The stones look like amethyst. The circle diameter is ~12 in.
I purchased it at an American Indian Pow-Wow at my local university
(CSU San Marcos). There were many vendors and I don't remember which
one in particular I purchased it from, but I plan on going back this
year to look for the vendor & thank him for his good energy.
I didn't exactly expect to get a dreamcatcher that worked, I'm kind
of cynical about purchasing items from fairs, etc. but, it is beautiful
& I was immediately attracted to it & am very happy with it since then.

a soft branch (usually willow, though it varies) held in a circle by
a leather thong. A webbing of sinew or sometimes waxed twine is
then woven inside the circle. On the bottom (opposite the thong)
there are 1-3 feathers hanging from strips of beaded leather.
The story behind the dream catcher is simple:
Place it at the head of your bed. During the night, dreams are attracted
by the wood and pulled into the web. The bad dreams get caught in the
web, while the good ones find their way to the bottom, down the
feather(s), and into your head.

Dreamcatchers are handmade charms that supposedly "block out" bad dreams and
only allow good dreams to visit you. The ones I have seen have been made by
Native Americans, who used to hang them on their children's cribs at night.
They are pretty simple really - just a circle with a "spiderweb-like" pattern
on it, and some feathers or lucky emblems hanging under; the circle can be
small (the size of a decent sized earring) or large (a foot or two). The most
common one I see at flea markets in Florida is about six inches in diameter,
with macrame or the equivalent for the center, and feathers for decoration
dangling down. If you would like one I'm sure I could find you a nice little
one at a moderate price. E-Mail me for more info...\

catcher is hung above a bed or at an east facing window, as this is the
direction from which the sun rises.
Basically, although i am sure there is a much more romantic story
somewhere, dreams pass thru the dream catcher to the sleeper, good dreams
pass thru the web in the centre of the catcher but bad dreams are caught
in the web and are burned away by the rays of the rising sun ensuring
that the sleeper has no bad dreams. It is a Native American idea and
proves to be most reassuring to children who have suffered nightmares,
but they are very beautiful bad dreams or not!
I bought my dream catcher on a reservation in Oshwekan (sp?) in Ontario,
but i am sure u can get them from retail outlets which stock native
american based goods.

If it is real, it will be made with a sapling branch wrapped in leather.
The webwork is sinew. There may be some decorations of feathers or
beads on the more "commercial" applications. I was told as a child that
the dream catcher should be made new each day & burnt the following morning.

> Do you feel good energy coming from your dream catcher?
No, but my shaman friend does, she said something about it having a
heartbeat. I kind of bumble around in the spiritual world anyway, I
think I'm just lucky to have spiritual people around me ;).
> What kind of good effects have you experienced with it?
My husband & I put it over our bed and right away he started having
strange dreams. Within a week my daughter & her friend had a seance
& basically invited anyone who wanted to to come in (and they did).
The ghosts literaly woke us up at night as they 'walked' over us
to get to the dream-catcher. We finally put it in the closet so we
could get some sleep. (I know it's a strange place for a dream-catcher
but the ghosts liked it & we were able to sleep).
> What do you think is most important when purchasing a dream catcher?
Certainly at the PowWow where I purchased this, there were plenty. I
liked this one because the leather was lighter in color and the amethyst
stood out. Purely physical reasons, but maybe looking back on it, the
person selling it wasn't one of those high-pressure sales persons, just
an artist with good energy who really knew what he was doing.

Sorry to get back to you so late, I didn't see your post so I'm just
posting from the email you sent.

Actually, dreamcatchers were originally diaries. They were made by the plains
Indians, mainy by young, unmarried women. As their beau would give them little
gifts and tokens, she'd weave these into the web. They were mainly used as
diaries and convienient places to keep treasured tokens on the move.

If you're really "seeing" such vaporous apparitions inside
your residence, there could be several possible reasons to
explore. Without knowing further details, e.g. what do you
mean by being attacked, like physically, psychically, both?
and for how long has this been going on in your house, then
I would suggest that these uninvited specters are attracted
to the karmic darkenings on your psychic aura (we all share
similar inherent vulnerabilities to some extent); also, you
have a particularly vivid imagination (such as song writers,
artists, novelists, etc.), and you noticed these low-astral
beings invading your space, and they know that you can see
them doing so and are trying to "attach" themselves to you.
As for what to do about it, I'd avoid voodoo remedies such
as dream catchers and the like, exorcisms, etc., and focus
on unconditional surrender because the real battle is with-
in ourselves. Imagination, creativity, inventiveness, etc.,
are of the pure Astral plane, thus you are probably of the
Moon sojourn; whereas, the impure or low astral influences
are confined to this near-earth perimeter where unsettling
motion, emotion, is obviously available to all of us born
alive into this troublesome world where evil is temporized.
If you don't have a pet dog or cat, I get one because they
can naturally sense nearby malign spirit entities and scare
them away. I enjoy cats better because they are "familiars",
meaning they can persist in helping us to recognize our own
karmic destiny...like hate and love, creativity is a mirror.
Hope that helps,
