The Hawaiian word for dream, moe'uhane, litteraly means "soul sleep." But in the days of old Hawai'i, people believed the spirit wandered rather than slept during dreams. Through the tear duct, called the lua'uhane, or "soul pit," the spirt slipped out and traveled great distances, having adventures while the body slept.
