This search, undertaken at the age of puberty, usually entailed inducing visions through fasting and solitude. Such dreams amounted to communion with the spirits and were often seen as predictions of the future. 

Another key point is that as Dreamers Rock is a spiritual place, photos are not allowed yet there are videos posted to youtube.]]> 2021-11-07 20:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gbayliss2_2/j47l96ebrbrld381/wish/1873334856 Joelle joeldevr311_2 https://padlet.com/gbayliss2_2/j47l96ebrbrld381/wish/1876074141 “Dreamer’s Rock has been used since time immemorial as a sacred ceremonial place by Native peoples” said Dr.
Pitt. “Fall is a time of cleansing and Dreamer’s Rock is still used today as it was since the Creator created us; for
fasting, vision and sweat lodge ceremonies
 at the summit of Dreamer’s Rock."

He offered this learned interpretation of the site. “It may be a place to stop and rest, and possibly trade. It is on the voyager route, and the Bell rocks were nearby. I see it as more as of a historic era site, possibly as a vision quest site.” It would be a significant cultural landscape marker, in my opinion.
