Is there different Dream Catchers for different types of bad dreams?

Question

My youngest daughter has nightmares about different things.

Answer 1

No. Each dreamcatcher is made to do the same thing,  and that is to allow good dreams to pass through the web and drift down to the sleeper, while bad dreams are said to become hopelessly entangled in the web, where they perish at the first light of dawn.

The different looks are asthetics, and tribal based. Some add things to the dream catcher, such as a medicine bag which is a bag for sacred objects and such but the dreamcather part is the same.

The important thing is to be sure you are getting an authentic dreamcather from a Native American Tribe. There are many unauthentic ones out there, and they are not what you want to get for your house or your daughter. So I can not stress enough, be sure they are authentic.

Once you have found a reputable source, let your daughter pick one that she likes, and explain to her the story behind the dreamcatcher, she will be more at ease, and love the catcher even more!

Answer 2

I do not believe so. I think any dream catcher will work. Just make sure it hangs in the center above ber bed, not against the wall (the wall will block the dreams from passing through). It needs to hang freely.

Answer 3

No.  My daughter used to have nightmares.  I opened a bible in her room, to the new testament, to a page that contained the words of Jesus.  The nightmares stopped.  Try it.  the worst thing that can happen is nothing.

Answer 4

no there are not. you could put some lavender in her room. its used to calm people.

Answer 5

Dreams are the visions of the sub-conscious mind. That being said, if you convince her that ALL dream catchers work, (no matter what) she should start sleeping peacefuly.

Answer 6

Nope just a basic dream catcher to filter bad energy from going into the persons mind. Make sure it has a direct line going from the dream catcher to the person sleeping. Don't support it on anything like a wall and let it hang freely.

You can do other things though, like read her a nice story with a happy ending before she goes to bed or purify the house with insence!

Answer 7

I agree with Epona.  They have all different kinds, let your daughter choose one for herself so she feels a connection to it.  

The reason the dreams need to pass through it is so the bad ones get tangled in the web while the good dreams float from the feather.

Answer 8

Haha, I doubt it matters what anyone here says. Tell her that there are a few different kinds and get one or two more for her (let her pick). That should hopefully make her happy. Incase you were wonderring though, dreamcatchers don't actually work.
