I got this tidbit from the internet, so I have no idea if he actually said it. But I'm saying it, so you can quote me if you like.
The best thing about sleep is you don't have to think while it's going on. Even in traditional meditation, you have to think. You have to think about not thinking, which is really annoying. Meditation is one big struggle to convince yourself, OKAY, I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW. NOPE, I AM NOT THINKING ABOUT BIG BOOBIES AT THIS MOMENT. THAT IMAGE THAT JUST FLASHED BY IN MY MIND WAS NOT A NICE PAIR OF LEGS AROUND MY WAIST. I'M AS CLEAR AND CALM AS HELL.
With meditation, you're lying to yourself, and I'm a guy who deals in truth.
Dreaming is not thinking. Dreaming is like being entranced by a great movie, and in my case they are mostly porn movies. The great thing is this is not my fault. I didn't click "porn dreams" among a choice of dreams on a big dream screen list that pops up in my head. First of all, they are way too expensive. And my wife will see the bill.
These dreams were chosen for me. By some really nice dream theatre owner.
Is it possible to nap while you sleep? This is what I'm studying these days.
Like the Russian dolls, one nested in another. A nap, nested in a dream, nested in another nap, and so on…
This can get confusing. What if I wake up from sleep #7, but nap #6 and #4 are still going on? I think some days I wake up from all my sleeps but there are still several naps going on in the background. Like apps that are running behind everything else.
That explains a lot.
I'm not getting old.
I'm napping.
