I am very stressed will it help me and for how long?
Yes! In private studies over the years it has been shown that the DreamWeaver greatly reduces stress, physical pain and balances the mind. The worse the condition the more dramatic the result.

The DreamWeaver is a synergy of 3D geometry and sound. You hear the sound from the top speakers and you feel the sound from the transducers (speakers with no cones) mounted in the bed. The result is that you hear and feel the music throughout your body. The pulsing action and the progressions within the music become very soothing and relaxing. In the sample below 5 out of the group of 12 reported being completely relaxed in 5 minutes!

12 clients were asked how stressed they were before dark green and after light green 5 minutes in the DreamWeaver with music playing. The results were recorded on a scale of 1 to ten where 10 is best!
The results from thousands of sessions shows that the information provided above will vary from person to person.

Can the DreamWeaver Relieve pain?
Often the result are nothing short of dramatic. Feedback from thousands of sessions has show that the response is not limited to only physical pain but also emotional and even addictive patterns. The reason for this is that sound and music has proved an effective remedy for pain. In the DreamWeaver it happens even faster and since all of the body is vibrated not only is the physical body effected but the mental and emotional and even the spiritual bodies.

How often do can I use it?
Most people can use it daily after some experimentation. Over the long term you will use it less and less because your body will hold the calming resonance of the DreamWeaver for longer and longer. After a few months most people report having far less chatter going on in their heads and enhanced clarity, creativity and well being.

Who uses the DreamWeaver?
The DreamWeaver is used privately in the home or professionally in health and wellness centers, spas, gyms, corporations and social programs.

Is it suitable for children?
Yes! From infants to adolescents they will all benefit. An article written by Linda Stalvey (2001) and published in International Child Birth Educators Journal November 2001 shows how the DreamWeaver enhanced a group of women through pregnancy.

Is the DreamWeaver really suitable as a gift?
Most definitely! The DreamWeaver makes an excellent present because they are so unique and if you really care about your friends and colleagues the DreamWeaver is a gift that keeps on giving.

What is the DreamWeaver?
The DreamWeaver is a powerful spiritual healing temple that combines sacred geometry and music felt throughout the body as a musical massage. It consists of three essential elements the sacred geometric frame, the musical massage bed, and your intent. Sacred geometry, music, vibration. The blissful journey is quickened with your intent.

How does the DreamWeaver work?
The DreamWeaver gently vibrates the body with musical notes and rhythms. The geometric frame wraps sound and energy in and around the mind, body and spirit. As you lie in the DreamWeaver you will enjoy music like you have never before!
The pulsing of the music resonates through the body to release stress-induced blockages. This quickly restores the body's natural flow of energy, freeing it to return to its natural state of harmony and well being. The more you relax the more of the musical energy you absorb. It is like laying on the skin of a drum very gently feeling the music pulse through your body". The pulsations creates patterns as illustrated below from Hans Jenny's book "Cymatics".

What does music have to do with the DreamWeaver?
Everyone loves music! In the DreamWeaver you hear it, feel it and experience it! From the novice to the seasoned performer or musician you will appreciate music at a whole new level.

How can I FEEL the music?
Within the frame lies a musical massage bed which enables one to FEEL the music. The bed contains transducers originally developed for NASA and the USN, but in the DreamWeaver they are designed to vibrate the body with music. See What is cymatics. Also built into the bed are four amplifiers (two for the top speakers and two for the transducers). A 12 band equalizer can be adjusted to maximize your relaxation and listening pleasure. See What does the Equalizer do?

What are the benefits?
On the physical body lowered muscle tension, reduced physical pain, decreased heart and breath rates plus the meridians and chakras are balanced.
On the mental body the hemispheres are balanced leading to heightened acuity, creativity and inner peace.
On the emotional body nerves are calmed, you feel nurtured and empowered with increased self esteem and renewed drive and passion for life.
On the spiritual body lucid dream states accompanied by beautiful colors and mandalas, out of body experiences, visitations from guides and masters and a feeling of being connected to source. Sometimes these experiences are prophetic.

Who thought of such a thing!
The inventor Benedick Howard had been researching the use of sacred geometry on healing for a number of years. In dreams he was shown the DreamWeaver and from these he began to investigate how and why it worked so profoundly on so many levels of the body, mind and spirit.

Where can I experience the DreamWeaver?
The best way to experience a DreamWeaver is with one of the DreamWeaver Facilitators registered on this site. Or contact us!

What countries have DreamWeavers?
United States, Canada, England, Jordan, Israel, Australia, Hong Kong and Japan.

What is a DreamWeaver session?
A session is DreamWeaver experience divided into three separate components: the intake, the DreamWeaver experience and the out take. DreamWeaver sessions are focused on your intention and healing and performed by a trained DreamWeaver facilitator. Sessions vary in cost according to location and facilitator. They vary in time from 30 minutes to 2 hours. To find a DreamWeaver facilitator near you look at DreamWeaver Centers or contact us.

How long are the DreamWeaver sessions?
Sessions are usually an hour. However, some facilitators may run the session for as short as 30 minutes or as long as 2 hours.

What shall I wear for my session?
The DreamWeaver is designed to vibrate the body into resonance, not only physically but also energetically. So wear comfortable loose natural fiber clothing, remove any jewelry or any restraining clothing like a belt and shoes.

Why have so many people reported benefiting in so many ways?
For millennia sound and has been recognized as having an effect on all levels of the body mind and spirit. The DreamWeaver is an the intense sonic environment when compared to listening to sound or music with the ears alone. And so has a deeper effect calming the mind and soothing the body.

What types of music work best?
Any kind of music works. For the best result we have found that music with a strong rhythm and powerful melody and or lyrics work best. During the session a variety of musical compositions are used to assist you in your intent and to balance to body on all levels. Music with a strong rhythm create more movement in the surface of the bed than "calm" music.

How does the DreamWeaver facilitator chose the music?
Music selection is an art and depends largely on the taste and your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual state. Your trained facilitator uses a protocol that indicates the types music and the volumes and equalizer settings to be used. The DreamWeaver can be very effective even at very low volumes.

What does intent have to do with the DreamWeaver?
The third element of the DreamWeaver process is intent. Intent is the force which propels us toward our goals and, as Chopra reminds us, "intentions compressed into words enfold magical power." The DreamWeaver is a powerful quantum environment using advanced particle and wave physics to resonate the human body. Science and religion have both shown the power of prayer and intent on our bodies and the effect on subatomic particles where an instantaneous resonance is created in systems not physically attached. The DreamWeaver sessions are designed to a protocol that amplifies the short and long term benefits of your DreamWeaver sessions by the use of intent.

How can I maximize the use of the DreamWeaver for my personal enjoyment?
The DreamWeaver experience is quite extra-ordinary anyway! The design of the DreamWeaver allows you to fully appreciate the power of music. To maximize your personal enjoyment chose pieces of music that you like and regularly update your collection. See our music page. The equalizer and volume settings can be adjusted to complement your moods. Also the use of soft lighting, aromas and covering your body with a blanket are recommended. If you have back or neck problems then carefully positioned pillows under the knees or neck may be used. However lying perfectly flat is preferred so that the energy coming from the bed into the body, the spine, the limbs and head is not dampened by supporting pillows. Whatever is most comfortable works best!

How can I maximize the use of the DreamWeaver for my personal transformation?
The DreamWeaver training is designed to take you through a process of understanding self and how using the DreamWeaver with focused intent can open up whole new vistas of enlightenment. Yes, enlightenment! We call it the lazy man's tool for enlightenment because the DreamWeaver profoundly relaxes you and with the musical resonance you become more present and aware. With the brain waves balanced the mind chatter diminishes. There are many ways to maximize your enjoyment ... best of all is to experience it for yourself today!

What is the DreamWeaver training?
The fundamental elements of this course were created by DreamWeaver inventor, Benedick Howard B.Sc. This offering is particularly directed towards professionals in the healing arts, educators, managers, and other explorers of creativity, communications and consciousness.

Full completion of the Level I Professional DreamWeaver Facilitator is prerequisite for advanced level courses. Certificates of completion are given upon full completion of course requirements.

This is a foundational training in facilitating individual sessions in the DreamWeaver. The DreamWeaver has been experienced by many as an effective tool to promote relaxation and learning, explore consciousness, access creativity, relieve pain and manage stress.
It has been integrated professionally in health and wellness settings, in corporate offices, in nature retreats, in educational settings and in creative studios. It is the responsibility of each facilitator to determine how and if the DreamWeaver may be integrated into their professional practice as teacher, therapist, nurse, physician, corporate leader, creative artist etc. for the benefit of your clients/employees.
DreamWeaver facilitators commit to following an established code of ethics. All facilitators are encouraged to communicate with one another relative to their experiences and explorations with the DreamWeaver. This furthers the understanding and utilization of this profound and effective instrument.

What is the vision for the DreamWeaver?
To bring this awesome spiritual technology to the planet. Imagine how our world will change when the majority of our stress can be reduced so effectively in such a short time! See our vision statement.

What is Sacred Geometry?
Sacred geometry is the combination of the power of intent and the mathematical/cosmic organizational properties of geometry. The geometric frame used in the DreamWeaver is called a dodecahedron (doe-deka-hee-dron). It is a twelve-sided shape that balances the energy fields in and around the body. The dodecahedron is one of the five Platonic solids (Tetrahedron, Cube, octahedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron). Each corresponds to one of the five elements: fire, earth, air, water and ether. The dodecahedron corresponds to the element ether, in Chinese it is called Chi or life force, in the Indian Sanskrit it is Prana. The dodecahedron was chosen for the DreamWeaver after several years of research by the inventor Benedick Howard because it balances the body much more completely than the other Platonic solids.

From an esoteric viewpoint sacred geometry is the organizing form through which consciousness and life evolves. Sacred sites around the planet were constructed to grid the planet and our consciousness. The pyramids were built to specific angles, and churches built to specific arches and orientation to the earth's grid system. From the atomic to the galactic, matter is arranged in specific forms. In the mineral kingdom we find that minerals have different crystal patterns or different forms, in the plant kingdom and animal kingdom life is organized by similar crystalline patterns through the DNA. It is the ordering of vibration through specific mathematical patterns that resonates the crystalline nature of life.

There are five platonic solids which are the basic building blocks in sacred geometry and each has specific properties in different dimensions. They are the tetrahedron corresponding to fire, the cube or hexahedron to the earth, the octahedron (double pyramid) to air, icosahedron (20 triangular faces) to water and the dodecahedron (12 pentagonal faces) to the ether. There are many other geometric forms that hold specific qualities within a universe, but none of them resonate so deeply as a building block to life as the dodecahedron. That's why the ancients held this shape secret and why it was chosen for the DreamWeaver.

In numerology 5 is a number of change. The ratio between the side of the pentagon and the pentagram is the Golden Mean ratio of Phi or 1.61....which occurs in nature. The pentagonal faces of the dodecahedron collects energy that is moved through the connection points creating an environment of change and integration.

What is resonance?
Resonance takes on a whole new meaning within the DreamWeaver! Music has the proven ability to balance the body on all levels. It does this by bringing stressed areas in the body previously in dissonance into balance. The DreamWeaver effects the physical by resonating the physical tissues but it does not stop there! The brain waves are effected and the emotional body it complimented by the musical chords and progressions. As these systems balance and relax one's being and presence are felt more and there is heightened spiritual awareness. A lazy man's tool for enlightenment.

What is vibroacoustics?
Vibroacoustics is a term used in engineering for systems that are in a mechanical sonic vibrational environment. NASA uses vibroacoustics for their rocket simulators to create a sonic/vibrational feel to the cockpit as though during launch. Cymatics and vibroacoustics are in this sense interchangeable but Cymatics is preferred because of the studies showing how material move with sound waves creating patterns or mandalas.

What is cymatics?
The word comes from the Greek word for wave “Kyma“ meaning cymbal or vessel. The DreamWeaver is a cymatic environment because it is a vessel of sound that viscerally vibrates sound waves (music) into the body. Music has been studied extensively for the beneficial effects on the human body and plants. Within the DreamWeaver these effects are amplified exponentially. As the ancient Hindu scriptures stated: Nada Brahma, the world is Sound! See What are the benefits of the DreamWeaver. Dr. Hans Jenny pioneered and deep appreciation of the effects of cymatics on non living substances.

Who is Hans Jenny?
Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena, is a science pioneered by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist, Hans Jenny (1904-1972). For 14 years he conducted experiments animating inert powders, pastes, and liquids into life-like, flowing forms, which mirrored patterns found throughout nature, art and architecture. What's more, all of these patterns were created using simple sine wave vibrations (pure tones) within the audible range. So what you see is a physical representation of vibration, or how sound manifests into form through the medium of various materials. The DreamWeaver is a synergy of cymatics and sacred geometry.

What is the difference meditating inside the DreamWeaver compared to normally?
Long term experienced meditators report that 15 - 20 minutes in the DreamWeaver is equivalent to 60 - 75 minutes of normal meditation.

Aromatherapy and the DreamWeaver?
Any alternative/complementary therapy works with the DreamWeaver. With your DreamWeaver there is a set of Trinity Oils are made specially for the DreamWeaver out of the finest oils available. Hand blended and charged in a small dodecahedron to enhance their potency. They are remarkable and only available as part of the DreamWeaver package.

How do I assemble my DreamWeaver?
It takes under an hour to assemble the DreamWeaver. When you purchase your DreamWeaver there is a manual and videos to guide you through the process.

Why does it have an open frame?
Part of the unique design of the DreamWeaver is the open frame. It provides easy access into the DreamWeaver for clients and facilitators and also the movement of the energy within and around the frame.

Why are there four amplifiers?
The top speakers (that you hear) may be adjusted independently from the transducers in the bed that you feel. This allows you to experience the power of the DreamWeaver even at extremely low volumes. This fine tuning makes the DreamWeaver a 3D instrument that greatly enhances the benefits.

What does the Equalizer do?
The built in 12 band equalizer allows you to focus the vibrations into the body in many ways to suite individual tastes of the person and to spatially adjust the positioning of the sound within the 3D space in the DreamWeaver.

Are there any videos about the DreamWeaver?
There are online videos and PBS is airing a series called Healing Quest in Spring 2002 and we have a series of videos and radio interviews available on CD ROM $15 US $20 international. Contact

Do you offer a multimedia version?
The DreamWeaver is a multidimensional environment facilitating the human body to connect with many realms simultaneously. Adding a multimedia visual component is very simple but tends to distracts from the pure inner experience. Contact us with your specific requests for a quote.

What are the dimensions of the DreamWeaver? The DreamWeaver is 6 feet wide across the frame and 7'4" long. Ideally you need a room about 8'x10' so that you may move around it. The Traveler is 4'8" high and the Throne versions are 6'8" high.

I want my own DreamWeaver, how soon can I get mine?
The DreamWeaver are all hand built by Benedick Howard. You select your choice of color for the upholstery, white, jade and soft rose pink are popular! The dodecahedron frame is made from copper and silver and 24 karat gold plated. Allow three weeks plus shipping for delivery. See sales page

How does the 24 karat gold plated frame enhance my experience in the DreamWeaver?
The dodecahedron frame enhances the energy within the DreamWeaver and as gold is among the most conductive of metals it is the optimal material for enhancing the energetic properties of the DreamWeaver. The energetic difference is very noticeable to anybody sensitive to energy, plus the gold versions look so majestic. The full gold plated DreamWeaver Gold version the energy is very bright, very clear and is clearly the ultimate experience.

How does the DreamWeaver work as a healing tool?
We do not claim that the DreamWeaver is a healing tool or make any claims about healing. However, so many people have experienced and reported what would normally be termed "healing types of experiences" that we want to make this distinction. We do claim that the DreamWeaver is a stress management tool and people using the DreamWeaver have reported a wide range of benefits.

What kind of career opportunities exist with the DreamWeaver?
Many DreamWeavers have already been incorporated in private DreamWeaver Centers or wellness practices and we provide professional training to support the use of the DreamWeaver in the healing arts. Also, the DreamWeaver is being used by musicians in their studios for inspiration in their creative process and for really feeling their music during the mixing and editing process. The DreamWeaver is an ideal spiritual technology for the Spa industry for deep relaxation and inner bliss. In the Arts and Entertainment Industry for musicians, composers, singers, dancers, artists, actors, writers and film makers find the DreamWeaver takes them to new levels of creativity and performance. In Progressive Corporations who understand the value of a stress management tool which can reduce stress in as little as five minutes to promote balance, productivity, clarity and creativity. We envision a wide range of career opportunities for people wanting to make a change on the planet fast. Contact us!

What exactly does "Full Body Surround Sound Environment" TM mean?
You are probably familiar with "surround sound system" if not go to a good stereo store and experience the five speaker system and how you hear the music coming from in front of you and behind you. It is awesome compared to you regular stereo, the sound fills the room. This experience pales when compared to the DreamWeaver! No only do you hear the music coming from in front of you, to the side and behind you but also you FEEL the music. That is where the full body experience takes on a new meaning.

How is the DreamWeaver a "Home entertainment system?"
Actually we experience the DreamWeaver as being much more than a home entertainment system. Yes it is like an extraordinary stereo and also it goes way beyond that. Many people have reported having enlightened states and spiritual journeys within the DreamWeaver. Thus the DreamWeaver is not merely an entertainment system in the normal use of the words!

What's this business about "enlightened states?" and "spiritual journeys?"
Enlightened states occur when the body, mind and emotions are in resonance to spirit. There are many academic studies show that a delta brain wave activity creates dream like states. That why we called it the DreamWeaver! The experience within the DreamWeaver becomes so relaxing and calming and similar to deep meditation that you become aware of the inner whisperings and visions that go beyond thought or imagination, we call these "enlightened states" others call them similar to "near death experiences" or "out of body" it is these states that a new creativity blossoms within the DreamWeaver.
