What happens to human consciousness when a person falls asleep?
At the moment of falling asleep, the connection between the higher layers of the mind and the activity of the physical and etheric bodies weakens. Physiological processes subside and no longer draw as much attention from the mind as they do during wakefulness. At this point, the assemblage point of a person gains a greater ability to shift horizontally within the cocoon, and the subconscious gains greater freedom.
Such freedom allows for a different shift in space-time, and the assemblage point begins to gather information from the environment available to it—information it could not access during wakefulness due to a lack of sufficient freedom. During sleep, the assemblage point attempts to move beyond the usual range of the mind’s control in order to retrieve information from spaces that remain closed to it while awake.
One can draw the following analogy: a person’s assemblage point is on a leash held by the mind. In the waking state, this leash is short, but during sleep it has the opportunity to lengthen. If, during sleep, the leash remains short, it means that some malfunction has occurred in consciousness — either in the subconscious or in the superconscious. The assemblage point will first begin to remove internal obstacles that prevent this leash from extending. At this moment, a person experiences dreams that allow them to process certain life events and emotions that were not lived through in real life, or were experienced incorrectly (from the perspective of gaining new experience or “lengthening the leash”). Such dreams are always quite emotional; they may or may not be remembered, and in the latter case, only residual sensations remain.
Such “repair” allows consciousness to heal from unnecessary complexes and to process excess emotional energy that burdens it and restricts its freedom.
If the astral body is free, with no limitations or energetic blockages, the assemblage point begins to move more freely through space. However, this space is not physical but astral, and it exists in a different dimension.
The astral space, which is highly plastic and fluid, allows consciousness — through shifts of the assemblage point — to enter realms that the human mind can reach only in dreams. Therefore, in sleep, one can move across different realities, come into contact with beings from other spaces, and see deceased relatives and loved ones — things that are rarely accessible to the waking consciousness in ordinary life.
Practitioners who feel at ease in the astral space have the ability to communicate with their mentors, with their fetches, receive information upon request, and even shape future events.
Journeys in the astral body can sometimes be quite dangerous, and an injury sustained there may manifest upon awakening in the physical body as well. Thus, many travelers, waking up in their beds in the morning, have been surprised to find scratches, broken nails, and scraped knees.
