Sleep. You need it, you have to have it. It helps you relax, empty yourself of the day that has just passed and file your thoughts into the correct storage areas. Sleep is also a time for the phenomena of dreams. When you dream, your brain produces wild, infinite arrays of scenery, geometric forms, and even depict life-like scenarios. This dream-real is often refered to as the realm of consciousness, the heavens, or just imagination.
Having said that, why do we arrange our sleep patterns in such a similar manner? Why do we understand a time of rest, and why do we sleep through the night? The night is a beautiful scene itself. What about those who cannot sleep, due to insomnia? Insomniacs are psychologically prone to sleep deprivation, even if its on a schedule (24/3 days a week). These people report having wild hallucinations that alter small aspects of their perception. Reports of faces in the trees and sky, shadow tricks, radical colors specific to certain materials. are these experiences due to sleep deprivation purely psychological, or could these experiences be more spiritual? As if due to lack of sleep, the frequencies in which you see alter. This would allow 'realms to merge' or for us to simply be 'changing radio stations'. I have found no direct experiment conclusion proving this, but I havent even found the experiment. Ill include some links concerning Insomnia, sleep, and the optical spectrum. Have fun.
