WEEK FORTY-SEVEN:
DREAM WALKERS
“All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
-T.E. Lawrence

Sleepwalkers arise from a slow wave sleep stage in a state of low consciousness and perform activities that are usually performed during a state of full consciousness.
These activities can be as benign as sitting up in bed, walking to the bathroom, and cleaning, or as hazardous as cooking, driving, violent gestures and grabbing at hallucinated objects.
'Dream-walkers' are slightly different. They arise from vivid visions in full consciousness and perform conscious activities to bring them to reality.
These activities can be as benign as reading, staying up late, and writing down goals, or as dangerous as training, sacrificing, delaying gratification, and grabbing at visualized objects.
