The Dream
Weaver’s Oracle

Time to Feed the Hungry Heart

Essential meaning: time out, self-care, a need to regroup and replenish, nourishment

There are times when you work so hard and move so fast, juggling so many things and putting others first, that you don’t remember to take care of yourself. When this happens, you start to feel burned out. You might resist this knowledge and force yourself through the exhaustion to prove you’re a hero, to show how far you can push yourself. After all, it’s impressive being the too busy one, the one who handles it all, isn’t it? Well, the Universe is not impressed at all!

Did you know that the world will continue to spin if you take some time to take care of yourself? Do you remember what kind of books or shows you love to explore for the sake of fun? You must build yourself up with stories of hope and redemption, love and goodness, triumph and truth if you want to write it into your own story. Maybe you need a hot bath and a good cry (or not), a hug from a pet, dancing for the sake of it, a walk where you don’t bring your list of to-dos with you. You can accomplish so much more if you include rest, relaxation, fun, spending quality time with your loved ones, healthy food, and lots of self-love to your menu. It’s time to feed your hungry heart. Feed it with love.

Let the Fire Dragons Sleep

Essential meaning: a warning to stay out of drama, respecting the consequences of possible dangerous outcomes, dealing with contrary people

Fire Dragons are powerful and uncontrollable. By their very nature, they can cause destruction and damage that can take a long time to heal from. These creatures like their rest; they don’t like to be awakened by a stranger. When this card arrives, it’s a gentle warning that whatever situation or person is inviting you to dance with anger, jealousy, or resentment must be avoided.

This is not the time for battle or even engaging in argument because there is no underlying strategy or logic to the situation at hand. You will cause yourself and others unnecessary suffering if you take this on because you’re sure to lose. Do not let anyone or any situation provoke you. Know the situation is rooted in a deep, unhealed wound, one either inflicted by you or projected onto you. This situation cannot be healed through this expression, for it could become an indulgence and misuse of power.

That said, the Fire Dragons are not your enemy. They arrive to warn you when you are about to make a choice that could potentially hurt you. Be thankful for this! You can say no and choose to move away from the danger to higher ground. Have a sense of humor now, for laughter tickles the Fire Dragons, lulling them to their rest. So, let the Fire Dragons sleep, content and curled up in their cave. You will be so glad you did.
Your weaving must remain true to the patterns you want to see more of and the stories of your journey to be proud of. If you keep to the road of your destiny and your eyes on the prize, holding space for your unique gifts, your light will be a beacon of hope for us all.

When the Birds Sing Grat-it-ude

Essential meaning: gratitude as the essential power of manifestation, the Law of Praise, saying thanks in advance of goodness

Right now, you’re being reminded of the quickening power of the Law of Praise. Saying “thank you” before actually receiving those good things you desire in life is a magical, sacred act. You may have been taught to say grace over your food, blessing it and giving thanks for nourishing your body. Most people know to say thank you after receiving something, expressing gratitude for what they have already. This is a conditional gratitude; you need the result to be there and complete before you feel it.

The true manifesting power of gratitude is the declaration in advance of your needs being met. You do not need to rely on anything being in the outer world before you express appreciation for it. Saying thank you is the abracadabra of life. It calls beauty and grace to you, reminding you of your humility. As part of life, you are a grain of sand on a beach, blessed to live this brief time on Earth.

Gratitude is the key to your question right now. Can you be thankful for whatever happens? Can you show appreciation for the highest good of all and not just for yourself? Can you see this adventure called life through the eyes of gratitude, humility, and kindness?

Yes, be thankful for all that you have experienced up until now, all your loved ones, fresh air, the food on your plate. Be grateful for the divinity in you. Look around you, all things are sacred, praise what you see and what you don’t see yet. Miracles are waiting for you to call them to life.

A Firebird Is Called to Soar

Essential meaning: being fully yourself, knowing who you are and who you’re becoming, authenticity, shining on behalf of the Divine

Do you know who you are, what you truly value, what matters to you, and how you genuinely feel about things? Can you be that person without worrying what others think? You are a unique and special being with your own path, your own journey to travel. You have incarnated with a purpose built into your very being. You don’t have to look for it ever; it’s inside you and has been all along.

This is something to celebrate! Just as a great symphony is made up of many instruments, each one integral to the whole, your special note is essential to the great Song of Life. You need to play your note and not someone else’s. So, at this moment, being yourself, speaking up about what’s important to you, and making choices from an authentic desire to participate is always what’s best for everyone.

You have come so far in your life. It’s time to be proud of who you are and what you have to offer the world. Like a Firebird is called to soar, so are you called to express the fullness of yourself and shine. Just remember your true heart; it’s okay to be vulnerable. Take off the masks you hide behind. Then and only then can you make an empowered choice to fly. Ready? The Dream Weavers think you are!

Even Wisdom Needs to Rest

Essential meaning: giving yourself time to slow down and dream, allowing ideas to form without forward movement, a necessary natural cycle of downtime

Sometimes you are exposed to so much information, it overwhelms you. You aren’t able to translate that knowledge into wisdom because you don’t find time for integration. Life is busy, and you may be used to moving through life’s obstacle course at a fast pace.

You might even be at a time in your life when you’re working so hard to achieve your goals, you think you’re not allowed to take a break. What if you missed something or let go of a responsibility? What would happen if you said no to something or someone?

Now is the time for releasing the badge of busy-busy. This a time for slowing down and integrating the knowledge you have gained. You will not receive the wisdom of your past experiences if you don’t pause and process. Take your eyes off your to-do lists and goals. Relax, knowing that resting is imperative to integrate the information you need to thrive.

Now is the time for dreaming, for downtime, for slowing your pace and taking things off your plate. Maybe take a vacation or, at the very least, schedule time to do nothing. It’s an uncanny truth that the cycle of nonaction, not doing, resting, and dreaming can sometimes bring the most astounding revelations upon your return. Remember, even Wisdom needs to rest.

All the Shoes Fell from the Sky

Essential meaning: waiting for the other shoe to drop, expectation of failure as a means of self-sabotage, fear of success, not trusting good fortune

Sometimes when good things are presented to us, we keep our guard up because we’re still expecting the worst to happen. We exaggerate our fears, or we get triggered and begin to speak about what is missing, what does not work, what could go wrong, or why we shouldn’t attempt something. We may genuinely want something but push it away, rationalizing that we won’t get it perfect.

This mindset is actually a way to exert control over an outcome. You can neither fail nor succeed when you keep yourself suspended, staring at the proverbial shoes falling from the Sky. It’s easier to remain in stasis than to take the risk and move toward your dream or take action to build something better.

This card gently tells you it’s time to shift your thinking. Nothing will ever be perfect, and there will always be a shoe that drops here and there. That’s life. If you don’t step forward toward your dream, you’ll regret it. So, summon your courage, and the Dream Weavers will weave their magic of protection around you and shower you with love. All the Shoes may fall from the Sky in some other universe but not in yours.

Underneath the Lizard’s Skin

Essential meaning: shedding the skin of the past, temporary vulnerability as you process something new, releasing resistance to change

There is only one constant in life, and that is change. We are not always aware of how things evolve within us. Sometimes the process is slow and organic, while other times its rapid pace is unnerving. This is the state you find yourself now: the swift peeling away of the layers of your life that no longer serve you or protect you.

Be willing to let go of everything you know that impedes your progress. Those things you need to release are hindering that flexibility you need to be in the world. You feel resistant to what is still new and unknowable, but you have nothing to fear. When a Lizard sheds its old scales, there is new, healthy skin waiting just underneath the surface. The tender pink skin hardens quickly as you release the old to make way for growth and new life. You need space to breathe and stretch and grow as nature intended.

You have been wanting a new life, a new version of yourself, and you are evolving to meet that self. Be present to this new time of discovery. This is a sacred experience that is woven into your destiny. Your soul knows the beauty that is waiting for you. Underneath the Lizard’s skin is a sign for you to trust the process of your own magical discovery. Who are you becoming? The one who is not afraid of shedding the skin of the past to embrace the dream of your future.

When the Weavers’ Way Is True

Essential meaning: trusting and surrendering to an essential partnership with the Divine, reclaiming your magic

The mythic story of the Dream Weavers invites us to imagine the purpose of these wise, benevolent beings working on our behalf, who represent the Higher Wisdom that governs our lives. So, if we don’t really trust in them, or in any Divine force, it means we believe only in our human will to make things happen, that everything is on our shoulders to carry. If we can’t see the Hidden Realms, they don’t exist; only what we see does. Even the idea of our Higher Self is reduced to a philosophical ideal. Effort then becomes primary: hard work, struggle, goals to achieve, difficult relationships.

A lot of people live this way. You don’t. You know deep down that you can only do so much on your own. You need this Divine partnership to make your life work. You were born to reclaim your magic, your roots in the mystical ways of the world. Trust becomes essential to surviving and thriving.

Today, trust the way that is illogical, intuitive, perplexing, curious, and creative. This is the Dream Weavers’ way, and it will always steer you into exploration and adventure. You will meet and befriend extraordinary people who will be your mystical companions. Just keep asking for a sign and the next step will be revealed. Right now, your choice is obvious to your heart. Follow it and trust the outcome.

Could It Be a Dragonfly

Essential meaning: seeing the meaning beyond the illusion of perception, signs from the Universe are all around, recognizing the outer world as a living oracle, paying attention to the signs

There are days when you begin to notice just how in sync you are with the world. While you’re thinking of a person, they call you or you see their name on the side of a truck. You might need to know the answer to something important, then you overhear just what information you need in the lyrics of a song on the radio.

It’s common to develop a relationship to a sign that always shows up when the spirit of someone you’ve loved and lost is nearby. Oftentimes it is based in nature, like a feather or a butterfly. Maybe a Dragonfly shows up to let you know you’re on the right track.

Now is the time for you to trust those signs in the world around you as a way in which the Universe reflects you, witnesses you, and loves you dearly. Pay attention, as the entire world is your oracle. Uncanny and serendipitous occurrences remind you that you matter, that the Universe is watching over you. Could it be a simple Dragonfly or is that a message from Spirit sparkling through its wings? Trust these symbolic moments. They are sacred and personal.

Weavers Share Their Magic Tea

Essential meaning: divine inspiration that could be life-changing, being receptive and curious to following through, selflessness

When the Dream Weavers share their Magic Tea, it’s a sign to remember the Divine quality of inspiration. You know the feeling: one moment you’re walking, taking a shower, or driving your car, and suddenly ideas come pouring through your mind and heart. You feel like you could explode with hope. These are gifts from the Divine, from Source, the Conscious Universe, or any other name you claim to describe Spirit. These gifts come unbidden, and may answer a query you forgot you even asked!

Inspiration is a feeling sense and comes with its own intelligence and logic. It’s as if you’ve been staring at a complicated series of locks that have kept you away from the next manifestation of a destiny you’ve always known but just couldn’t get to. Suddenly all the locks just begin turning, pins click into place, and the door swings open to let the light shine in! Now you have inspiration in all its Technicolor glory.

Did you think the Dream Weavers would keep their Magic Tea all to themselves? You just need to stay receptive and follow through on your curiosity, then watch the magic arise to greet you. Inspiration wants to give you a gift. Let it.

What the Sunbeams Have to Show

Essential meaning: gentle illumination on things needed in order to progress, truth revealed when you are ready, curiosity, a flicker of an important idea

There are times in life when you get momentary glimpses of possibilities, and you know that if you don’t act on them right away, they’ll disappear like fireflies in the night. Yet, like soft Sunbeams flickering on the surface of still water, the awareness of those possibilities is nonetheless soothing and comforting. They serve to remind you of the magic of the natural world and also the impermanence of things. They come to capture your attention.

Something is flickering in your awareness now. There is some idea, some niggling thought, some intuitive tingling calling for your attention. Don’t discard or deny it. This is the spark of inspiration asking for you to follow it into a greater radiance. Now is the time for exploration, for gaining clarity, as the important pathways to your destiny are being illuminated and celebrated. Ask to be shown and it will be done.

What the Sunbeams have to show is your next step forward—never revealing the entire staircase, just one step at a time. Follow the Light and trust in the Divine. This is the brilliant way of the highest good.

When the Storm Spirits Play

Essential meaning: understanding how to navigate divine chaos, clear the air, stir the pot, scatter seeds, bring new possibilities

You’re being asked to surrender your need to control outer circumstances, which is based on a desire to feel more certain, avoid confrontation, or resist change. This card signifies a time to trust that this chaos, this disorder, this turbulence that has shown up in your life is temporary but important. You’re now able to let go of what is unnecessary or that which you’ve resisted releasing.

Consider how clear the air is after a storm, how dead branches are pruned from trees, and how potent seeds are scattered so new life can sprout in new soil. Even if you find yourself in conflict now, there is a gift in this. It invites you to see things from alternative perspectives and provides you with a lot of valuable information. New, important possibilities arise from the chaos at hand.

For now, the highest good for you is to remain in the center of the storm. Meditate and be mindful of your reactions, as you don’t yet have all the information needed to make an authentic choice. Watch and wait. There is a divine reordering at the root of this chaos. Listen deeply for the epiphany rising to greet you, and you will know the gifts this experience holds for you.

When the Storm Spirits play, amazing things are stirred up through this divine change for the highest good of all! Remember you are a weaver of dreams too; even if you must pivot, even if the threads of your destiny get frayed, the pattern you set will be breathtaking.

All the Willows Know Your Name

Essential meaning: being witnessed and seen by another, being understood, the flexibility of healthy relationships, interdependence

It’s such a beautiful feeling to know that you are truly seen by another or by a whole community. When you are known, accepted, and witnessed by others, you have a wonderful sense of connection and communication. You feel the grounded safety of belonging.

These are the kinds of relationships present in your life now, and they provide you with plenty of room to grow. This sense of connection rises from a space of transparency, honesty, trust, and radical self-acceptance. You naturally invite others to see you as you see yourself, in the fullness of your expression. When you shine, it comes from a true desire to share, and that is compelling and attractive to others who can appreciate you.

Know that right now you are seen, witnessed, respected, appreciated, and accepted. You don’t have to look for approval, for you already have it. Remember that you shine on behalf of the Divine! And isn’t it amazing that all the Willows know your name? Doesn’t that feel good?

All the Diamonds in the Sky

Essential meaning: limitless potential and possibilities unique to you, moving out of limiting beliefs, reaching for the stars and trusting you will reach them

Often the only things that separate us from the life we want to live are our beliefs and the inner stories we tell ourselves about them. Perhaps you’ve been conditioned to see yourself as limited, less than, unworthy. Maybe you’re worried about the consequences of stepping out of your comfort zone right now, for the results of your expansion may not please others. Could it be you don’t know the “how,” so everything looks like too much work, and it makes you feel discouraged?

The star you’re reaching for may seem out of reach for you, but if you remember you come from the stars, you will see the threads of destiny the Dream Weavers have placed for you to find. Dream big, and don’t be afraid to be honest with yourself about what you really want to experience. As soon as you claim it, let go of your resistance to surrendering and shift from merely wanting to consciously intending—you will see the thread connecting you to the star that was there all along. Step by step, the way forward will be revealed and the “how” will be in the very capable hands of the Universe.

Believe in the power of the Divine that exists in all things and especially within you. Believe in yourself, and soon you will see the magic. No man-made construct can rob you of your inner Light or the expression of your dreams, as they are sacred and holy! Keep going. You’re on the right track. Like all the precious diamonds sparkling in the Sky, this star of yours matters.

When the Grit Became a Pearl

Essential meaning: reinvention, learning from past mistakes, surrendering to the lesson with grace, maturity

Something transformative is happening within you: all that friction, irritation, and resentment; the growing pains; identifying with your wounds and then releasing them. You’ve been through rough seas for sure. Now you hold the precious Pearl of wisdom in your hands and heart and psyche. You are forever changed. After all, you cannot change the Pearl back to the Grit, nor would you want to. Yes, you might get triggered here and there by the ghosts of the past, but nothing compared to the arduous journey of learning you have been on. You will notice how quickly you can turn things around, how quiet you can become in the middle of a storm, how adept you’ve become on knowing when to speak up or to step away, how mature you are now.

This is a time to look at how far you’ve come and to be mindful of opportunities, relationships, and interactions that remind you of the ones you’ve been through already. You do not have to learn the same things repeatedly. You have the choice now to move forward or walk away. Some things cannot be changed no matter how much you want them to; certainly you know you can change only yourself, even if you want to influence another person to see things your way. That didn’t work before, and it won’t work now. Take things at face value and trust your intuition to avoid unnecessary Grit.

Treasure is waiting for you on the other side of this situation. Whatever choice you make now, if you move forward and discover it’s not for you, you can always change your mind. The point is, your next move is about having an experience. Because you have already accumulated so many Pearls of wisdom, you can trust yourself to make the right one. Breathe . . . you got this!

When the Ones You Need Fly Close

Essential meaning: soulmates, important friendships and allies, positive community, help comes when it’s needed

There are moments in life where you recognize the soul family you’ve chosen to experience life with. Often they feel so familiar, it’s like you know you’ve travelled with them before. Some stay for a lifetime: you might find a true partner to commit to or friendships that you grow old with through thick and thin.

Some come into your life with wild passion, causing you to fall madly in love and think you have found the one true partner. When this type of relationship doesn’t last, you end up heartbroken and confused. These situations are potent invitations to discover your patterns so you can heal and become a more expanded, healthier version of yourself. Don’t withdraw and simply blame the other for your pain. No matter the outcome or the period of time it lasts, your connections are all meaningful. It’s how we all learn and grow. It’s how we find courage to be intimate, to change, and to discover who we really are.

Right now, be grateful for the beautiful connections you have made in this journey called life. The Universe knows the Dream Weavers pulled the threads of fate to draw you together to explore what it means to be human, to have a heart, and to know love in all its forms. When the ones you need fly close, it’s a reminder that love is here for you. Be grateful for the people in your life who make you feel safe and seen, and whom you can laugh with right now. They are all emissaries of the Divine.

Let Your Dreams Be Woven True

Essential meaning: the card of the Dream Weavers, co-creation, partnership with divine powers, trusting your dreams will be in alignment with your soul’s destiny, surrendering your will to a Higher Power

Human beings often believe they create their world through the power of determination and will alone. Hard work and effort, striving, ambition, focus, imagination, and desire are all worthy components of reality creation, but they are not the only ones. To truly be an empowered co-creator and work your magic in the world, you need to remember you are in a partnership with your Higher Power. This is the metaphor of the Dream Weavers: It is a reminder that you are never alone. There are always divine forces at work on your behalf, listening to the stories in your mind and heart and reflecting them in the outer world.

There is another message here about the strands in the fabric of reality that are constantly being woven. While there are things you cannot change or control, there are also the threads you choose to weave into this fabric of life, based on the electric force within you. You dance between surrender and creation, fueled by your inspired dreams and intentions.

Now is not the time for pushing harder but for allowing things to organically take their course. Do your part, taking your steps but surrendering the rest to the Divine. Remember your job is to know your why and hold space for the energy of your dream. In weaving the sacred essence of your desire, the “how” of it will be revealed. Weave and let go, weave and release. Let your dreams be woven true and, like magic, things will seem to work out, even when you’re not concentrating on the pattern.

All Is Calm upon These Shores

Essential meaning: a calm and centered sense of Self, radical acceptance, peaceful interactions with others, releasing attachment

There are days when you know you’ve done all you can and surrendered your attachments to outcomes, trusting that things will turn out the way they will. You don’t have anything to prove anymore. When you reach this moment, you experience a kind of satisfaction and accomplishment that may not even have anything concrete, any real perceived success connected to it. You just know peace and serenity. This may be fleeting, but it doesn’t matter how long you stay at peace. Once you know the feeling, you can always return to it.

The way to these calm inner shores is simple: meditation and prayer, coupled with surrendering your wants and your attachments to the will of the Divine, being humble and grateful for what is in front of you. Letting go of the need to control or change anything outside of yourself is key. This is not a passive state but rather an action of choice, like radically accepting what you cannot change. The Serenity Prayer beautifully outlines this: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Peace is the state of knowing that all is well. Enjoy it because it is.

For the Wind That Blows Our Sails

Essential meaning: forward movement, coming out of a slow period, a time for action

This is the time for action. Your obstacles have dissolved, you’ve integrated the deep work you’ve been doing, and you are on the other side of the dry spell. How wonderful to now have the energy to take the next steps unencumbered by the past! This is a time of new beginnings, of the excitement that comes with seeing your dreams coming to fruition after challenging work. Others may call you lucky, but you know what work it took to get here.

This time of expansion is not one to take lightly or for granted. Smooth sailing is not always offered to you, especially as you venture into uncharted territory. Now the wind that blows your sails is steady, and you feel the hand of the Divine next to yours on the wheel. Stay in touch with that partnership. Stay awake and aware, as waves can rise up out of nowhere. Have confidence that you are sailing in the perfect direction for you toward a destiny that will flourish. Go the distance.
