Hawaiian Big Dreams

 A most influential dream is the hō'ike na ka pō, a dream that is a "revelation of the night" and often interpreted as a prophecy. Sometimes a visitor comes to the dreamer as a husband or wife, called kāne o kapō or or wahine o kapō. A dream may deliver a special name to a child, called an inoa pō, a "name from the night." Some dreams come on their own (kupu wale), while other dreams are premeditated (no'ono'o mua).

To understand dreaming in Hawaii it may help to study the beautiful, concise Hawaiian language of dreams such as researched by Caren Loebel-Fried from books, unpublished manuscripts and transcriptions of elder interviews she found in the Bishop Museum Archives and reported in her book Hawaiian Legends of Dreams.
