In some sense, readiness, probably. But who knows really what that means. Perhaps it’s just the right flux of the electric field coursing through your neurons, or perhaps it’s something even less intelligible. Maybe it’s good health leading to leftover nighttime surplus reflective capacity - with a grain of salt: I once read a paper [0] suggesting that while awake, the brain processes exteroceptive signals; asleep, it processes interoceptive signals - maybe it’s a ‘belief confirmation’ / error-prediction “circuit” gone haywire, affirming beliefs so strongly that you awake to feel the beliefs hot in your bones, but for no apparent reason. But maybe it’s just a jolt that happens like something to remind you of what it feels like to have the feeling of strongly held convictions, if you’ve been having a hard time coping with sparse rewards from the outside world. I could only speculate :) [0] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23697225/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23697225/
