SLEEP

What is sleep? Why do we
need sleep? Do worms sleep?
What are dreams? How can !
get to sleep
These are questions we have
all asked ourselves at one time
or another. OF the first two
questions, we know little. Some
where between your two ears,
each day there is produced, by
some strange mechanism, a
state called consciousness. You
become aware of things. Where
it's produced, or how, we don't
know. But whatever it is, when
it's not being produced you are
asleep.
You might notice that just be-
fore you go to sleep tonight,
you enter into a sort Of fantasy
land. We all do. For a few mo-
ments our fondest wishes can
come true. We can grow toma-
toes as big as melons; we can
pay off the mortgage; we can
be King; we can have whatever
we want because, at this point,
our higher brain centers, which
are concerned with everyday
probabilities, have stopped func-
tioning. Lower, more emotional
centers are then unrestricted;
and they can carry us anywhere
we want to go, make US anyone
we want to be. Maybe this is
why many of us like to sleep.
It gives us an escape from real
ity.
These fantasies go on period
ically all through the night. We
call them dreams. 1t was pre-
viously thought that dreams
lasted only an instant. We now
know that they last anywhere
