Hawaiian Dreams for You and Me.
By Robert Worstell
Many people dream at night - others don't remember whether they do or not. One interesting point is that you don't have to sleep to have dreams - and the term "day-dreams" is more correct than not. There are subconscious messages going on all the time. If you just sit down and close your eyes, more often than not, you'll find yourself in the middle of a vision or feeling which is best described as a dream. Edison used to take advantage of this with short "naps" to gain inspiration - and only needed some 3 hour sleep at night. He didn't nap to rest, he napped to dream. If you study the Hawaiian Huna traditions, and in particular Serge Kahili King's "Mastering Your Hidden Self", you'll find a whole chapter on dreams. And in these traditions, you can find that there are four types of dreams Four Dream Types. 0. Overall, the ancients held that dreams were the realm of the spirit - they called this moe 'uhane, meaning "spirit sleep". Essentially this held the idea that the spirit moved away and went elsewhere. You are that spirit. During this deep sleep, your ancestors or any Divine spirit (or God, if you will) could send you a message. Some Huna Kahuna's held to the tradition that life itself was a dream - that you woke to this world, but the dream you just had was also just as vital and real as this one. Death was held as just not waking to this dream again, but that's a Western simplification. 1. Dozing lightly, or trances, were used to get the meaning of things. And there are many forms of this in use today. Some meditation approaches or passes this. 2. Erotic dreams were held as a high point of self-integration - but usually only trained kahuna's could appreciate these fully. 3. Programmed dreams (much like Silva Method's use of their "3 scenes" technique, where you send a video of your proposed solution up to Higher Intelligence for review) is where someone purposely asks for an answer during that night's sleep. 4. And whether you ask for it or not, where you do get an inspiration from the "High Self" or other spiritual guides, this is a dream which is a direct message. Dreams, Symbols, and Interpretation Dreams are often used to tell you something you should know. Either from your subconscious or as spiritual guidance. The trick is that mostly these are symbolic. And symbols don't mean the same thing from person to person. But your dreams, as you work to sort them out, should give some meaning to you. Some symbols are almost universal in application, such as travelling on a path or road, or enountering a bridge can mean a transition. Houses, hotels, and apartments can mean held beliefs or mindsets. While there are many books on this area, I've found that simply sitting up and reviewing that dream in your half-awake state will tend to tease out some meaning or application you cam put it all to. (If only as simple as quit eating big meals right before bedtime - joke) Recurring dreams are usually some important data that you are supposed to get right away, as it affects your life-quality to ignore. Recalling Dreams Some people say they never have dreams because they don't practice recalling them. If you concentrate on wanting to recall your dream for that night just as you go to sleep, this will help you remember them. As well, just lay in bed for a few moments when you just wake up and see if you can get any sensation or feeling of the dream you last had. As well, moving to different sleeping positions might bring that last dream back to you. As in most things, practice makes perfect. Where you keep up your work at recalling dreams, these become much easier to recall. You can also practice with your day-dreams as well. Sitting in a comfortable chair, relaxed with eyes closed, will often give you a dream-like rendition of the actions you took or witnessed that day, or fantasies, or even voices, or impulses, or just sensations and feelings. Day dreams can be interpreted as sleep-dreams - and are good practice for the latter. - - - - This is, of course, not even scraping a thin coat off an iceberg of data that exists about dreams. However, knowing and utilizing these can bring you into greater understanding of the world around you and within you.

Contributor's Note
I've found that the Huna traditions, even as they differ in their lineage, provide fascinating insight to our Western "conventional wisdom". Often people will find solutions to long-term puzzles when they encounter Huna's different approaches to life.
