    • I kind of makes me crazy to have to acknowlege that we NEED to go to sleep, and also to consider that if this is an illusion, are we closer to what we truely are when we sleep, how dreams are so mulifacteted, so many kingdoms, yet we seem to accomplish developement on a spiritual level when we sleep. It makes me nuts.
