When we step into the deep pool of the sleep state, mysterious yet momentous things happen. The worst pains of a disease-tortured body vanish as though they never were, as the worst anxieties of a troubled mind are cast aside completely. We find healing peace and strength. We rotate in a cycle of waking dream and slumber. It is therefore not enough and cannot be enough to examine our waking state alone.
