What happens to consciousness during deep sleep?
What happens to consciousness during dreaming?
Why are some dreams mundane, meaningless and monotone, while lucid dreaming is bursting with color, emotions and symbolism?
Goggling the scientific view on any of the above leaves one without much to go on other than stats about electrical impulses and where they originate in the brain.
I have intuitive views on all three states of sleep.
Deep Sleep
Brain function is not dead during deep sleep. Mundane consciousness is absent. To all extents and purposes regarding this life, we are not at home. So where are we? And if we have been elsewhere, why is there no residual memory of where we went, like we have in mundane and lucid dreaming? Does mundane consciousness simply fade into a void? If so, why?
My answer:
In deep sleep we are pure consciousness.
There is no sense of separation (no observer.)
The sense of an individual self, or analyzer, is a mundane fabrication of the Ego.
I believe that in deep sleep we merge with Cosmic Consciousness. Consciousness is totally pure during this state, not clouded, color-contaminated or confused by immature egotistic interpretations of Beingness. This timeless nightly return to Divine reality refreshes and reasures the soul.
Mundane Dreams.
The artlessness of a mundane ego wandering aimlessly around the mind within the borders of material experience. The dreamer is unstimulated by pure consciousness. Mundane dreaming reflects the material fixation of a consciousness not tuned into the ripples it's life experiences cause in the cosmic fabric and the effects it produces..
Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming is a special trip to the Astral realm of existence, or Comic Disneyland.
The mundane ego is given a tiny peek at the limitless nature and ground of pure consciousness. The phantom creation of the self is allowed to see and experience a fraction of how the effects of trillions of life experiences are woven into the fabric of Cosmic Being and the range of emotions that can be evoled by it.
