What Happens When You Go To Sleep?

peace
i read a few things about such topics...
said something like... we shift frequencies when we go to sleep (also when we die).
we're just in a different world.ok the article talks more about death, but sleep is very similar.

hmm. i don't think we go anywhere.
when we sleep we are in restmode, we are unconscious. the body repairs itself, the more you are physically active the more rest needed.
the same goes for the brain.3942 God takes the person when it dies, and during their sleep. He then keeps those that have been overtaken by death, and He sends the others back until a predetermined time. In that are signs for a people who will think.
nafs
Soul/spirit, the vital principle, intellect/reason/mind, inner desire or feeling, knowledge, pride, self-magnification, a state where there is ample scope for action, 'willingly' when used as adverb, nafs - soul of discrimination (mental) and ruh - soul of breath (physical), oneself/itself, whole, essential constituent, reality, sometimes ghayb and nafs are synonymous, a person/being/individual, quantity, man, life, soul + body, life-blood, body, contention/thought/face/substance, heart, stomach, gulp, drought.
Peace.
I disagree. The brain enters a subconscious state, but I think the soul goes somewhere beyond this universe. 3942 seems to point to that as well and I'm glad you showed me the verse. When we die, God takes us somewhere and the same happens when we go to sleep, so wherever we go when we die, we go to the same place when we're asleep. That's obviously not any "location" that we're aware of; in the Quran, God says that He has created seven universes. What these refer to exactly is unknown. Couldn't one of them be the place we go to when we go to sleep? Peace.

when we sleep we are unconscious, god takes the nafs = consciousness
god takes the nafs doesn't means it is transferred to another place, but we are withheld from consciousness until we are awake. -

I just love this subject. Try google about out of body experience or OBE and astral projection. They explained a lot of things about this stuff. There's a lot of people experienced spontaneous OBE where they just project themselves out of their body and capable of exploring the other realms in this universe. This can also be achieved by using some tools and technique too... Mindset and attitude towards it is an important thing in achieving this.
I could say some key figures about this phenomenon,
the late Robert Monroe who developed the Hemi-Sync technology and Monroe Institute.
Thomas Campbell who researched this nonphysical universe.
William Buhlman, Robert Bruce and plethora of others.I just let your google shows where you should start. ;D

I have read somewhere that when we go to sleep, our soul, our POV consciousness, goes to higher planes, thereby allowing the body to rest and heal itself, I believe that dreaming occurs in middle-higher planes, whilst deep dreamless sleep occurs in the highest plane.
One useful tool of increasing self-awareness is to try to control your dreams (when you dream you are in a plane where anything you feel-intend is easily manifested) if your POV (for lack of a better name) is just swept though the dreaming experience you miss out on playing with it and using it to create the micro cosms in which you live. I know for myself this to be hard, it is a bit scary when you realise you can take change and put consciousness in your dreams, for they become more real and you percieve things you don't understand. If that happens remember to have a positive mantra (sth like "be corageous", or "I'm in charge" w-ever) and remind yourself that you are also God you are also the creative principle and that as such you can both create or dissolve whatever you find or not find possitive.
BTW, dreaming occurs on REM sleep, REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement, I wander if this isn't just the body trying to match the all-seeing nature of the pure consciousness (it becomes unidirectional when locked in our bodies.

A word sebt سَبْت (Sabbat) means "retrospection" not "rest". Benu Isra'il had a task to observe it and to remember what happened in Musa and pharaoh event, so they can remember how Allah helped them. There's a word subaat سُبَات also, used twice in the Qur'an with newm نَوْم (sleep), which is connected with "retrospective memory".
The beneficial effect of sleep on memory for past events (retrospective memory) has been thoroughly investigated and firmly established
Other then a physical rest, I think that sleeping and dreaming are needed to us for memory, both retrospective and prospective. There're a lot of scientific articles on this.

Although this is an 'old thread' yet it's an interesting and important question.
If the question is What happened to the consciousness when the body fell to sleep (or disabled such as in physical death)?
Then this diagram might provide a map towards an answer.https//i.ibb.co/pvXyczc/GVpSCXL.jpg
The explanation of it

Concur, it depends on the 'state' of the consciousness.
That's the reason why everything that you do, think, feel will have an impact towards your own soul.
