This is going to sound crazy, but we’ve got it all backwards. Sleep is the actual purpose of life.

• Waking life only evolved in order to go to sleep. Dreams are the result of the brain dialing into a much more important state of consciousness.
• Everything we do in waking life is an intermediary state to gather the resources to keep dreaming. Civilizations and empires have been wasted on the assumption that there is actually something to do outside of dreams.
• Anything that can be done outside of a dream can be done more meaningfully inside one.
