Do we die everytime we go to sleep?

[GetInTheTruck]

Dreamless, deep sleep is the Self's "somewhat" return to it's natural state - PURE consciousness.

I say somewhat because in the true natural state of the Self there's both PURE consciousness AND awareness.

The three levels of reality are the waking state, the dream state, and the dreamless sleep state.

Just like when you are sleeping and having a dream, you wake up to the "waking state" and realize that you were dreaming, there is a state beyond the waking state where you realize that the waking state too is a flawed perception of reality. This is the Self's true nature of pure consciousness AND awareness - "enlightenment," "liberation," etc.;

This world is illusory. It exists, but the way we view it is flawed. It's a misconception, like mistaking one object for another.

the true test of a man's character and strength of his soul is his ability to wake up even though his body wants to go back to sleep more than anything

I don't believe we die; but I think like someone else said we are at are most vulnarable spiritually and we maybe in other " states". Wheather or not op is trolling, I think and wonder about this stuff all the time

When I sleep everyone else dies

If you're smoking like that other nikka who made that wack thread with his (high) thoughts then you need to stop smoking too if this is what you came up with.

Nah not a troll thread, I was seriously interested in the answers to my question. I had a nightmare and was spooked from it after, that I woke up into sleep paralysis .
It lasted like a few seconds but I was hearing voices, couldnt move, and was seeing rainbow disorted lines around the walls in my room.

I just had this feeling that I woke up too soon and woke up in the process of going to a different dimension or something. I just felt uneasy.

I woke up from a deep nap yesterday and felt so damn weird, like I had been foreal.

This is exactly how I felt also after my nightmare

I read an AMA a while back about near death experiences.

My experience is as follows: It was cold, but from what I understand that was actually shock. A darkness sort of came in from my peripheral vision until all I could see was what was directly in front of me, like tunnel vision. Then it was dark. There was a feeling of complete relaxation of all of my muscles, sort of like what you get halfway through that first glass of wine but magnified. And then there was nothing.

I didn't see a light, I didn't have any flashback of my life, I didn't hover over my body and watch them work on me.

From what I understand I flatlined for several minutes and during that time my eyes never closed.

There's another one


And it makes sense from a physiological point of view, blood flow is halted so there's a decrease in the generation of heat, then the loss of some muscle tension. There's still rigor mortis to think about.

What I want to know is if you'll have a dream moments before you die.

this has happened to me a few times..where you feel like you're awake and aware but you cant really move...like something is holding you down..shyt is weird

I woke up the other day around 3am after some weird ass recurring dreams and just thought to myself for an hour like "what the fukk are dreams exactly?"...and what does it mean when you have the same dreams or an extension of the same dream everytime you sleep? ...my dreams are like a tv series at this point..shyt makes me wonder

What makes the waking state flawed?

 

[Saiyajin]

anyone ever have a shytty rage inducing, or weird nightmare and for the rest of the day you're pissed off ? even though you knew it was a dream and are wide awake the dream affected your mood for the day

one WOAT feeling tbh because of how irrational it s

 

[Malik1time]

We don't die breh
I've been reading on that astro projection shyt and I wanna know if it's real or not

 

[GetInTheTruck]

What makes the waking state flawed?

It's a misconception. Just like the dream world is for all intents and purposes "real" until you wake up (and then the dream world immediately ceases to exist and you realize you were only dreaming), the waking state ie; the everyday world of action and experience is only "real" so long as you remain in that state.

When you're in deep, dreamless sleep, the only thing that is experienced is pure consciousness. There's no concept of passage of time, or anything else, just pure existence. And when you wake up from this state, you feel refreshed and energized....that's because deep, dreamless sleep is a hint at what true reality is, minus awareness.

To answer the OP, deep dreamless sleep is kinda like death, except what makes death different is that the physical body is no longer a useful vessel for the Self to experience the "world" according to it's accumulated karma, so it moves on to another body. But even this transmigration of the soul from one body or another is also happening only within the boundaries of empirical reality. In absolute reality, it isn't happening at all. It's all just a projection of pure consciousness, which is the only "thing" that really exists. Everything else is illusory.

I hate that. Then I feel like shyt the rest of the day.

 

[JQ Legend]

I've had the same thoughts. I believe we experience what death is like (total unconsciousness) when we're in a deep sleep.

I get why you'd think that but it makes no sense

How can you no longer have a body yet experience something that you experience when you have one?

You need a body to experience sleep so how can you lose the body at death yet have an identical experience?
