Jan 30, 2019 The dreamcatcher acts like a spider's web by trapping the bad dreams or visions while allowing the good ones to filter through. The bad dreams caught in the web get destroyed when the sunlight of morning hits the dreamcatcher, while the good dreams filter down through the feathers and gently reach the sleeping person below.

A spider was quietly spinning his web in his own space. It wasbeside the sleeping space of Nokomis, the grandmother. Each day,Nokomis watched the spider at work, quietly spinning away. One dayas she was watching him, her grandson came in. 'Nokomis-iya!'he shouted, glancing at the spider. He stomped over to the spider,picked up a shoe and went to hit it.

'No-keegwa,' the old lady whispered, 'don't hurt him.'

'Nokomis, why do you protect the spider?' asked the little boy.

The old lady smiled, but did not answer. When the boy left, thespider went to the old woman and thanked her for saving his life.He said to her, 'For many days you have watched me spin andweave my web. You have admired my work. In return for saving mylife, I will give you a gift.'

Only good dreams willgo through the small hole. This is my gift to you. Use it so thatonly good dreams will be remembered. The bad dreams will becomehopelessly entangled in the web.'

Sleep well sweet child
Don't worry your head
Your Dream Catcher is humming
Above your bed

Listen so softly
I know you can hear
The tone of beyond
Close to your ear

Love is alive
And living in you
Beyond all your troubles
Where good dreams are true

Dream Catchers

An ancient Chippewa tradition
The dream net has been made
For many generations
Where spirit dreams have played.

Hung above the cradle board,
Or in the lodge up high,
The dream net catches bad dreams,
While good dreams slip on by.

Bad dreams become entangled
Among the sinew thread.
Good dreams slip through the center hole,
While you dream upon your bed.

This is an ancient legend,
Since dreams will never cease,
Hang this dream net above your bed,
Dream on, and be at peace.

If you own a dream catcher and for whatever reason you may want to get rid of it you may wonder what is the best way to get rid of it. Now as the dream catcher has been used to catch nightmares you may want to make sure you dispose of it correctly.

There are two methods that are best recommended to get rid of your dream catcher, cleansing it by leaving it in the sun for a day or burning it to burn all the bad dreams caught up in the past few weeks, months or even years.

Cleansing your dream catcher

Probably the easiest and best way to dispose of your dream catcher is to hang it in the sun light outside for over 4 hours which will kill off all the evil spirits. This was used by the founding tribe of dream catchers who actually did this to get rid of bad spirits in the dream catcher. This works by emptying your dream catcher and can actually be the most effective method and I would also recommend doing this if you are also planning to keep your dream catcher as well as if you buy a new one.

Should you burn your dream catcher after you used it

Bad Dream Story

If you have used your dream catcher for a while you may not exactly want to just throw it in the trash as if you do this and it gets broken all the bad dreams and nightmares are released back into the world and will be able to effect other peoples dream as well as yours. The tribe who began using dream catchers actually began to burn dream catchers if they became damaged. They did this to get rid of the evil spirits and is not the most practical method if you live in an apartment or don’t want to be seen burning your dream catcher. However you can find out if your dream catcher will go to an incinerator or a land fill by looking at your states local trash collection website.

Will burying a dream catcher work?

Probably not! If you are looking to dispose of a dreamcatcher properly the only two ways are burning it or cleansing it. If you bury the dream catcher the dreams will remain there and although the bad dreams can not effect you still, chances are that somewhere in the future that dream catcher will either get dug up, eaten by bugs or decay leading to it begin damaged and thus will release the bad dreams into the world.

What you shouldn’t do

The things you shouldn’t do when getting rid of your dream catcher is to just throw it in the trash. At a minimum you should cleanse it before throwing it out. You also do not want to cut it up, damage it or break it in any way as mentioned this will cause the bad dreams to be released again and as they are your dreams will likely come back to haunt you and cause nightmares.

Dream Catchers Christian Perspective

Another thing that I would advise against doing is giving away your dream catcher or selling it. The reason you do not see many used dream catchers for sale is for the reason that you will have no control of it once it is sold. The person who buys it from you may damage it or not dispose of it correctly and if it has a number of your nightmares stored on it they could potentially release them.
