I have 2 power animals - elephants and butterflies. I got them from a Shaman at Burning Man last year. It was a really amazing experience. He told me that he could feel some sort of dark entity deeply attached to me, and he cleared it away. I felt incredible after the treatment. He told me to consider that my barometer, and measure how I am feeling against how I felt then, and that is how I will know it is time to do some more work. He taught me how to call on my power animals and go for journeys. Unfortunately I haven't been able to maintain the feeling I had after the treatments, and when I've tried to journey with power animals on my own it hasn't really worked. I've been considering trying to connect with a local Shaman to pursue this, but I haven't gotten around to it. I'm going back to Burning Man this year, so hopefully I can reconnect with the Shamanic journeys then.

I don't know about crystals and dream catchers.
