Is sleep the same as dying?

[itsadistraction]

I had a realization that seems so obvious now.

It is the realization that dreamless sleeping is exactly like a death experience.  You have 8 hours without time, space, problems or ego.  Its pretty blissful. 

Leo says that your life is the same as the dreams you have at night. This actually helps make the case that "sleeping" is your natural state and the same as death. 

What do you think?

there is no such thing as unconconsciouness.  You are always dreaming, you just may not remember.

@Inliytened1 so are you saying I don't remember what happened during the 8 hours of sleep but stuff was happening or that the 8 hours of sleep didn't actually happen that is just an illusion in the eternal now?

Your not wrong, but what he means is you can imagine yourself as nothing. So when you sleep without dreaming you were experiencing being nothing.

If you sleep in the back of the car of a hottie on a first date, you will either die from bliss or be kidnapped and stabbed to death.

You are imagining sleep. 

Ta-Da!
