The following video is about dream weaving as well.

In Gary's post the picture he uses is one of a Dream Catcher so he must have been thinking of both sides of the public we serve.  All of us have the ability to "weave" dreams, and as Gary points out, with action, dreams can become reality.  We all serve in the role of Dream Catcher more of the time, in my opinion.  Dream Catching means we have to listen to the people we serve to know what their dreams are and then, with Gary's action, we assist our clients in seeing their dream come to reality.  Below is a short history about the physical dream catchers.

Dream Catchers
 
Dreamcatchers are an authentic American Indian tradition, from the Ojibway (Chippewa) tribe. Ojibway people would tie sinew strands in a web around a small round or tear-shaped frame--in a somewhat similar pattern to how they tied webbing for their snowshoes--and hang this "dream-catcher" as a charm to protect sleeping children from nightmares. The legend is that the bad dreams will get caught in the web. Traditionally Native American dreamcatchers are small (only a few inches across) and made of bent wood and sinew string with a feather hanging from the netting, but wrapping the frame in leather is also pretty common, and today you'll often see them made with sturdier string meant to last longer.

Do you really listen to your client and pick up on all the little nuances of what their dream really looks like?  If you find your self talking a lot, try asking leading questions that will paint the colors into the dream.  You'll be surprised as to how much difference you will make for your client.
