I am personally insomniac and have a great deal of struggle on regular basis to get some good sleep. However, I have seen people close to me who love to sleep, so much so that I believe their aim is to sleep. This has led me to take my imagination to the next level.
I have been wondering if these people who love to sleep so much are actually motivated to sleep as it is their purpose of life. We have always heard of people day dreaming about what they want to achieve, also of people losing their sleeps for their dreams. However, what if there are people who plan their day so that they can sleep really well. People who wake up so that they do everything to ensure that their sleep is undisturbed.
While there are people trying to achieve their best in their life awake, what if there are opposite set of people who are living a completely different life, unnoticed by everyone around them, in their sleep. The time they are awake is just the effort taken to ensure that they do enough, get enough energy so that they can sustain their sleep. In the nature, we know about bears who go into hibernation mode in winters for close to 5-6 months. It is their requirement of the surroundings that to survive they need to hibernate such that they consume very little energy. In case of humans, I imagine them to be aiming to hibernate for the sake of it so that they can live through the hibernation. And during this time, while in animals the brain activity goes to the minimum, the humans in their sleep might be taking their brain activity to the maximum.
Meditation is another such example that we can relate to. Often people talk about meditation as a state where you are awake but then you take the mind to such a state where it does not revolve around anything and reaches a trance state. What if there are set of humans who are trying to reach a state of active brain usage while their physical body is sleeping. Is it possible that there is a world where everyone who is going to sleep can connect to each other and then be very active in that world.
