This topic always bothers my mind. we go to sleep we shut down for the night and for the next 10 hours your conscience goes somewhere. You dream okay, but when you don't dream it's just blank what happens to you? Any ideas?
Nice Info^^ Yea consciousness is mechanically turned off. The brain activity required to create conscious experience (~13-30 Hz up to 100Hz for sensory processing) is diminished (~1-13Hz depending on stages mentioned above by Neurosis). Why the brain needs to sleep though I'm not sure, some say memory consolidation.
That BLANK............. is what it's like to be dead. So you got two options while your still breathing. 1. Quit your 9 to 5 job and go experience the world. 2. Keep your 9 to 5 job, save up money then go experience the world. Either way, light a blunt and go experience the world.
Actually you only truely dream when you enter REM sleep mode, which only happens for 2-3 hours over the course of the night. The rest of the time its just biological processes going on to heal your body with no cognitive response.

Our physical world does not really exist. We are creating it by processing emitted photons. An atom is a majority of empty space. Yep, space. All matter is vibrating at a range of frequencies we are able to visualize. Now, consider the billions of frequencies the human body is not capable of creating visual representation for. These frequencies, do they exist if we cannot visualize them? If you answered yes, then you would agree there is an extension to matter at a range of frequencies not capable of being seen by humans therefore our "reality" is limited to a s range of frequencies. There are many more realities to be created
I've been trying so hard to explain this, but could never find a decent way of wording it. I'm in complete agreement with this statement.
Although the quantum level part of that is in fact true your statement on reality is only a theory and for it to be true would mean that anything you perceive with your eyes simply vanishes when not being viewed. Reality never actually shifts; it's always there. Reality only seems to shift when seen without understanding of a true multi-dimensional reality by something trying to make sense of what it is seeing.
Being able to "see" something is irrelevant Vision is not the only sense we use to gain information about the world Other animals use others senses as well that we don't have.
I always thought that if you could see inside your head when asleep there would be a blue screen that says "windows is searching for a solution."
