The Dream Weavers are Faeries who create unique dreams for each individual soul. Together with our Spirit Support Team, they will decide how best to utilize our dreams to guide us. It is up to the individual dreamer to seek the proper interpretation. Our Spirit Guides, as well as qualified Dream Interpreters, can help to clarify the symbolic nature of our dreams.

The Dream Team

Three Dream Weavers are assigned to each spirit. Those who incarnate as psychics or blind seers have up to eight Dream Weavers on their Dream Team. One Dream Weaver heads up the entire team. They meet with our Spirit Support Team in The Counseling Rooms of the Dream Realm to discuss the visions for our sleep cycle. This is known as the Introductory Phase. On the presentation board they write out three columns. In the first column are the ideas they wish to convey to the Dreamer. In the second column is the imagery that will be used in the dream. And, in the third column is a list of the Dream Players, spiritual friends, and animals that will be performing the various roles. Many of the dreams they create will deliver only a brief message. This is why so many people, upon waking, feel they are only remembering fragments of a dream, when in fact they may be seeing the entire sequence. Other subjects are more in depth and the Dreamer may remember the entire chain of events.

By their thoughts, the Dream Weavers fabricate the imagery of our dreams, by giving form to the Dream Matter. Dream Matter consists of brilliantly colored strands of light in green, blue, red, and yellow, which floats and seems to possess a life of its own. The Dream Matter is formed in a place known as a Dream Chamber. There are many Dream Chambers for each incarnated spirit. Our minds are directed to these chambers at the proper moment of our sleep cycle, and all Dream Players are summoned for the performance. The process in which the stage is set is known as the Production Phase.

The characters that act out the parts in our dreams are known as the Dream Players. They are much like actors who perform for an audience. Our spiritual friends are allowed to participate in our dreams when they have an important message to impart, when they wish to remind us of their presence, or when we, as the Dreamers, have specifically requested their presence through our prayers. When a darker element of the psyche must be addressed through dream symbolism, a Gargoyle will be called in to assist. They understand the nature of negativity, and may assist the Weavers in the production of the dream. They form the imagery in their minds and transmit these thoughts to the Dream Weavers. When the Dream Players practice their parts for the dream, it is known as the Rehearsal Phase.

Following the Rehearsal Phase, The Dream Team meets again in The Counseling Room and another meeting ensues to determine if the dream adequately conveys the messages to be delivered. If not, the appropriate revisions are made and the dream returns to the Rehearsal Phase, until all members of The Dream Team approve it.

The person in the dream state is known as the Observer. The Observer is one who sees the scenes around them, and understands their own presence in the dream. When the Observer is able to see him or herself within the scene, they are known as the Participant. A Participant has the ability to actively change or influence the direction the dream will take. This is known as Lucid Dreaming.
