Is Awareness the Same When Awake and Asleep?

A man asks about the difference between awareness in the waking state and awareness in sleep. Why does being aware feel like peace and joy in the waking state but more neutral in the state of deep sleep?

Rupert says: ‘The waking state is characterised by agitation of the mind and sorrow of the heart. In contrast to the agitation, we refer to being as “peace” and in contrast to the sorrow, we refer to being as “happiness”. But in deep sleep there is no agitation or sorrow present to contrast it with, so awareness seems to be neutral.

‘But deep sleep is not a state that alternates with waking and dreaming. It only appears to be a state from the point of view of the waking and dreaming states. Deep sleep is just the shining of being all alone. It is ever-present, and it doesn’t come and go.’
