RUSSIAN TEACHER Bibigul Mamaeva wants to set a Guinness record by creating a "dreamcatcher" amulet nearly 13 meters wide by the lake.
Mamaeva, who calls herself a descendant of Genghis Khan, spends a week creating a giant "dreamcatcher" amulet by the lake, about 380 km northwest of Moscow, Russia. The shaman uses palm tree wood to form the frame, then adorns with beads and feathers inside like regular dreamcatcher.
"I want the world to really change. There are a lot of souls angry about who we are and this is an effort for everyone to go towards the good," Mamaeva said, expecting her dreamcatcher. will fulfill the original purpose set out.
It is not clear whether Guinness this year will confirm Mamaeva's new record. Mamaeva once set a Guinness record for a dreamcatcher with a diameter of 10.14 meters in 2016.
The dreamcatcher or net that captures the dream comes from the Native American culture, which is crafted from the willow branch, then bent into a circular frame. Within that frame, people weave sparse networks outside, the tighter the inside. A dream net is often decorated with feathers and beads, becoming a souvenir in many parts of the world today.
Local wizards often believe that the use of this net to protect people from evil spirits. They believe that these souls will be trapped in this network.
However, science to date has not found any compelling evidence for the existence of ghosts, according to Live Science.
