Do dream catchers really work?

there have been many debates over Dream Catchers, and I personally think they do work (but this is coming from someone who believes in Dragons :P) you could see some explanations in the source.

Acording to my collage phyc. teacher it can be just one or an infinate number of them.  However even if you dont remember them we all dream everynight.

I believe it works. A practitioner will tell you that the pins alter your bodies energy flows and set them back on the right path. It probably is a mix of the placebo effect and the manipulation of the bodies neurological system.

it's normal. It's your dream and anything can happen that you let happen. Try to get as much out of your dream as possible as they may help out when dealing in reality.

Dreams are very personal things so dream dictionaries are mostly useless unless you have a 'big dream' in which case swot up on your mythology etc (read some Carl Jung - archetypes etc). One of the best dream books I ever read was The Dream Game by Ann Faraday - based on Gestalt theory - very practical way of analysing your dreams. Good luck!

No, they don't really work.  It's utter horsesh*t.\n\nPut it out of your mind and live your life normally.

You need to forget your dreams, and to take them blue pills, but if you are on to something, then I'll say yes they are visiting us and whisper things to come in our ears when we sleep. There is belief in a rotation of the universe, as well as the planet and celestrial bodies in motion. A better question, is  where are we going?

Yes.  I have dreams that I think are real until someone tells me it never happened.  And sometimes I think I'm dreaming when I'm not.

Well, most people dream of or about something they are thinking about, worried about....ect. but there was some sort of a dream machine that you typed what you want to dream of, then it would omit smells and a sound or two which would make you dream of that! i read about it in a magazine.

Yes, I have.  It worked pretty well, and the dreams were great.  However, I found that you are not supposed to take it on a daily basis, or for extended periods of time, as your brain will get lazy and decide it no longer needs to make it's melatonin, and then you will be up the creek without a paddle.....

well, do they come true? because if they don't then your problem is not visions but bad dreams, which can be helped by a therapist.  If they do come true, then you have a gift. Many people THINK they can tell the future but in my experience most, (not all) are mistaken.  I would suggest talking to a qualified minister (one with an educational background in counseling) or a therapist to help you explore what is going on.\n\np.s. I am sorry they scare you.

I've done that too.  Then I read about dreams and started writing down my dreams as soon as I woke up.  This gives you some contact with your subconcious and practice you get actually gives you some control over what you do in your sleep.  Instead of being like two seperate people you start communicating with yourself.

I hadn't heard that before. If they are then it is your own personal truth. I don't think I do believe this statement. Dreams are the minds way of assisting you to sort throught a puzzle or dilemma or problem. Something you might not have even realised consciously that you were pondering. I am talking about the subconscious mind and the unconscious mind. If a dream is not precognitive ie. a vision of a future event (most dreams are not precognitive), then it is a dramatisation by the mind using expressions, images, words etc that are known to yourself. The mind generates a play if you like and you the sleeper are the only audience. So you are the only one who can recognise the images/expressions used in the play to understand what if any underlying message is there. Knowing this then saying dreams are the invention of truth is quite a sweeping generalisation which in fact, does not really tell you anything at all. Sounds like pretentious rubbish to me.

no, our brain continues to work while we sleep. You may not remember your dreams but you still have them. Dreams all have meaning and they are what helps you deal with the stress and helps figure out what to do because you cant deal with it consciencely (sp) so your subconscience does it for ya.

It's somebody which you can conjur up in a dream to help you on your way. Maybe via meditation one could train themselves to imagine somebody that they trust appearing and offering advice - then maybe by reciting some phrase at the same time as when they appear one could learn to invoke the dream guide dude during real dreams

I'm not sure...but dreams are usually made by random thoughts and memories. Your subconscious is constantly working 24 hours 7 days and that's what's making you dream. They are just jamming all these things together then you have a dream...most of the time it doesn't make sense or sometimes even it comes true! Dreams are sure fun and weird!

Not superstitious, but I think that dreams tell you what you really believe and even want to believe in your heart. It is you thinking without subconsciously second guessing yourself.
