What is dreaming?
Most people might say that who we are, really, is the person who is awake and that when we sleep, we are simply a shadow of our wakened self, merely resting and preparing for consciousness. There is little doubt that, awake, and only awake, we reach our highest potential while sleep remains a hazy, necessary inconvenience.
Flip it around, though, and consider, for a moment the possibility that sleep and the dream state presents us with our best opportunity to realize most fully the enormous capabilities of our minds and imaginations. We can be whomever we want, go wherever we want, experience the universe unconstrained.
The question: "why do we need sleep?" then might become: "why do we need bodies?"
To provide a sanctuary for our dreaming self.
This explains why we sleep and have always slept, in spite of the obvious dangers; we sleep because only then are we truely alive.
The waking state exists to feed and protect the temple of the superconscious.
