Do You Know That Your Dreams Have Creative Power?

Whether you are a writer, a painter, an inventor, a farmer, a businessman, a doctor, a housewife or an ordinary employee, your dreams can create things for you if you will only let them do their job.

Many of the things you see and use today were created from dreams by people who have learned to value the creative power of their dreams. The sewing machine needles, the airplane, the submarine, the telegraph, even the lowly paper clip — all these were created by dreams — and a lot more.

Of course, you need not have a college degree to have the ability to dream. Each one of us dreams every time we sleep whether we remember our dreams or not. We spend about 20 percent of our total sleep time in a dream state. Research has found that, on the average, we spend some one and a half hours each night dreaming, or a total of approximately four years of our lifetime.

Many of our dreams are potentially creative, but we never provide the fuel to give them creative power.

The images that appear in your dream await to be given form and shape in your waking hours. They could well be the characters for a story, the scenes for a painting masterpiece, the missing link to a new invention, or the actual image of a pros1wctive life partner.

In an issue of the Reader’s Digest, a girl had sketched the face of a man she had seen in a dream. Unfortunately, she died before she could ever meet him. In a strange twist of fate, he became the recipient of one of her eyes in an eye transplant. When he finally met her family to thank there personally, he was astonished to see the startling likeness of the pencil sketch to him.

THOUGHTS ARE THINGS

Dreams are visual images distilled, during sleep, by the subconscious mind from our experiences, thoughts and emotions. These are the shape of things we have seen or will see, of people we met or will soon meet; the images of our thoughts and imaginings. Many are distorted out of focus; others are very vague and not recognizable at all.

It is your conscious thoughts that deeply affect the content of your dreams. Be negative, sour and fatalistic, and your dreams will he as negative. Positive thinking is the key to positive —and therefore, creative — dreaming.

Thoughts are things, someone had said. He was right. Unfortunately, we hardly see the things in our thoughts. We see the words that give expression to our thoughts, but we cannot visualize the forms that they evoke until someone shows them to us, or creates them for us.

Take the word “stone.” At once, you see it in your mind as something scattered by the roadside or in the river bed. It is round, it is oblong or jagged. It is big, it is small. It is black, it is white. Many shapes, many sizes. But it is just a stone. You don’t see it as a magnificent building, an exquisite jewelry, or an exotic garden decor. .

On the other hand, when you think of the word “glass,” it immediately evokes in your mind the many different products made of glass that you have already seen like drinking glass, eyeglasses, mirror, bottles, window panes, or broken glass. This is because someone with an unusual creative imagination has molded glass into these products. He had thought of glass as an idea with shape and form. Like thoughts dreams are things too. Many primitive cultures have discovered this a long time ago. The American Indians, the Senois of Malaysia, the batik makers of Indonesia, the porcelain potters of China, even the Igorot weavers and carvers of the mountain provinces in the Philippines have produced exquisite products with the help of the creative power of their dreams.

You can too.

Healthy Vacations In Hawaii on Maui

When tourists arrive on Maui, they often throw out their healthy lifestyles from home and trade them for the lazy life of beach living, large portions of divine food, and several drinks a night.  While this may be a much-needed vacation, it is possible to experience all Maui vacation rentals has to offer without throwing healthy lifestyles out the window.  By the very nature of pacific-rim and fusion cuisine, the use of seafood is an automatic help.  As long as visitors try local food instead of dining at national chains like California Pizza Kitchen, The Cheesecake Factory, and other food giants, they should be safe.  Some of Hawaii’s freshest fish is quite lean and actually very healthy.

Natural and organic diets can be continued while on Maui.  There are several health food stores in downtown Kahului, the island’s major city.  Milagros, Down to Earth Natural Foods, Alive & Well Natural Health, and a number of other similar stores can provide inexpensive but very healthy foods and drinks.  Most local grocery stores also have begun to carry a number of different organic, reduced fat, and healthy snacks and food items.  For tourists looking to eat the extra fries or drink the extra beer, most hotels have twenty-four hour gyms and fitness centers to shed those extra pounds.

Life Outside of Honolulu

The master planned community of Mililani hosts a population of 29,000 people on former plantation forms owned by Castle & Cook which began developing the area in the early 1960s.  The original vision or intention was to create Mililani Town into a satellite city in order to satisfy Oahu’s pent up demand for housing.  The first homes in Mililani were sold in 1968 and were sold quickly thanks to the interstate H2 opening and cutting the commute time into Honolulu in half.  Today, much of Mililani real estate is still in high demand.  While Mililani is still largely a bedroom community for Honolulu, the town is able to succeed on its own with commercial shopping centers, a golf course, and other suburban town amenities.

In 1986, Mililani was named an All American City, the only community in Hawaii to receive such an award.  In 2005, CNN Money Magazine ranked Mililani as one of the best places to live in the nation.  And in 2006, Mililani was named as the third wealthiest zip code by the Pacific Business News.  The still-expanding community combines suburban living with a self-sufficient and blossoming economic basis that has grown to support most of the community.
