Consciousness in the metaphysical sense isn't really turned off when you sleep; otherwise you couldn't have dreams.

- dllthomas 11y agoSure, above was not serious commentary, but a joke interpreting consciousness in the other sense.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoAssuming you're really awake and having dreams as opposed to your thoughts being reorganized in a way that you simply remember as vivid, real experiences. Even if you're conscious, that's only a tiny part of sleep (often REM). Being awakened otherwise is like just having missing time where there's a gap in conscious experience. As if it was off.
