If this is all a dream...

[Julio Juliopolis]

Then why do we need to sleep? (Serious question)

[Atlantean]

sleep is our visits to where home is (my opinion)

I'm sure you don't mean home in the conventional sense, but I'm not sure what sense you do mean it. Care to expand on that?

Also, anyone else have any answer to the original question?

It's all a dream, while being all real..at the same time. It's like a syzygy.

I like to think it's less of a balanced equation, and more of a map/territory distinction.  But also I'm not really sure which one is supposed to be the map and which is supposed to be the territory.

Too bad. I imagine it would be nice to know something like that. Being aware of terms makes it easier to play.

I like this. This sounds on point.

I know.  I'd like clear boundaries too.  But is it a game or is it real?

[Pixie Dust]

Is life ever either real or a game? It depends on perspective. Boundaries are an illusion.

The question is "Why do we need sleep?". Focus people!

[Pixie Dust]

Forgive Le, he knows not what he does.

Before I can reason out an answer to that question I first need an answer to why we have bodies, and this is all interrelated.

I mean if you didn't want a DIALOGUE about it you should have just googled it and found the answer.

Let me just go ahead and ruin it for everyone then

The complaint wasn't that I got a DIALOGUE, it was that the dialogue wasn't ABOUT IT.

You're more self-aware than I thought.

You're more self-aware than I thought.I think your complaint is that someone has the audacity to come into your safe space with questions you don't already have the answers to.

[Le_Regard]

It's cool though, you can delete the whole thread again. I don't want to interfere with your TEACHINGS. I'm just finishing up here anyway.

When he sleep we have a chance to dream and to enter the spirit world. I say home because the way I see it we are primarily spirit having a temporary earth sojourn.

There's no need for your self-serving speculation. I stated my complaint directly, that y'all weren't addressing the question I asked which this thread was created for.

Actually, that's all you ever do is aggressively interfere. Changing topics, baseless accusations, and posturing as if you were superior is in every one of your posts. All of which are meant to distract others from doing their work and instead give you their attention. I'm tired of deleting your stupid impotent posts. Is there any reason I shouldn't just ban you?

I like this.  I can groove with this.

IDK, really . I remember that DJ said that dreams are like streams or tributaries that lead to the ocean, or the dark sea of awareness.

Sleep, as opposed to dreaming, may be that state in which we are utterly disengaged from the tonal to the extent that what is perceived there cannot be remembered b/c there is no lexicon for comparison. Ironically, being totally disengaged like this brings us into total engagement with the source of our existence/energy and is thus refreshing? Does that work? A good an explanation as any, maybe

[DoktorGreen]

All perception is dreaming. There is always an effort to expand and grow. It is the Eagle's command. Because our fixation here in the physical activity is so intense, sleep and dreaming is the forced avenue of expansion. Those anchored in other realms do not "sleep". They simply shift.

[funnyguy]

Would you expand a bit more on those anchored in other realms Dok? Sounds incredible.

[DoktorGreen]

Well just like we are anchored here, innumerable entities are anchored in other realms. Those fixed below us sleep and dream of this and other worlds. Those in finer worlds are mostly less locked to their environment. The shifting of their awareness is quite common and natural. The anchoring is the result of the alignment of compartments within the cocoon. There are 8 possibilities based on the 4 compartments. Here, we generally align the two top compartments; left and right.
