Swapn : A Dream State

about

When you sleep, all your identifications disappear, you become an absolute nobody. Or, in other words, once your identifications are gone, you have gone back to your original nature. It is just that this process is wonderful, but it is happening in total unawareness. You will see, on a certain day, even if it's just for an hour or two, or whatever, it's not the period that matters — on a certain day, if you fall asleep in a very deep way, the next morning when you get up there is a new sense of life, awareness, well-being in you.

Most people don't get to sleep like that on a daily basis. Only on certain days they sleep like that because even in your unawareness, if you touch that state of nothingness within you, that state of non-identification — when you are dreaming, you are still identified. Do you see that in your dreams you are still yourself? Maybe in various fantastic situations but you are still yourself. So in your dreams the identification is still there. When you go beyond the dream and just become perfect sleep, on those days when you wake up, it's wonderful. There is a completely new sense of freedom and well-being within you because you have been in touch with your original nature. You have been in a place where there is no identification. Something absolute has touched you but it happened in unawareness. If you achieve the same thing in awareness, then it's meditation. When you're awake, if you can be like that, that's meditation.
