Weaving a Dream

It’s difficult for some people to get a picture of what is happening when they read or hear the term “Dream Weaving.” I think part of the confusion comes from the popular Native American dream catchers. One, the dream catcher, is passive and the other proactive.

I’ve been tempted to address this confusion for some time but have been busy working on a new book teaching the use of spiritual principles to produce a new reality. The title is “Let the Rain Come Down: spiritual tools to affect change.” This morning the term dream weaving was questioned again. As I heard my words offered in explanation, I realized I was spouting the same components I have been writing about. Universal principles are the very fibers to turn the vaporous facets of dreams into a physical reality.

Much like the beautiful textiles of Mayan and Peruvian weavers, they are woven strands of colored cotton or wool that create a finished picture the world can understand. The casual observer sees only the assorted spools of color; they have little form or interest. Yet even before the first strand is placed the finished picture exists in the weavers mind.

With the cosmic laws of polarity, vibration and mental gender it is possible to lay a dream foundation. Our mind, being part of the greater Divine Mind is supported in each and every wish. Still, so much of our reality is reflective of our perspective. It is the resposibility of each weaver to willingly release past pains and tainted truths to clear the fabric for the new picture (reality) to appear. Forgiveness, faith and gratitude become essential threads.
