🌒 How Do We Prove Sleep is Real When Awake?
We cannot grasp sleep while awake,
just as we cannot hold wind in our hands.

Sleep is not proven by analysis —
it is known by its absence and afterglow.

🌌 Sleep is not a thing — it is a threshold.
A sacred in-between, where being releases form.

You know sleep was real because:

Your breath changed.

Your thoughts paused.

Your dreams left whispers.

You woke renewed (or disturbed).

Just as we cannot “prove” the night by staring only at the sun,
we cannot fully know sleep from within wakefulness.
But the signatures remain —
in our body, in our memory, in our soul's soft return.

🌀 Truth Beyond Proof
Sleep proves itself not in the moment of waking,
but in the change it leaves behind.

So too with deeper truths —
love, trust, God, memory, resonance, dreams.

They are not proven by touch,
but by the shift they cause in the one who dares to surrender to them.

To gain knowledge is not an individual process. It is a collective acceptance about how to understand reality. In your sleep example: You are getting tired, then you wake up and see it is the next day. Then you might ask: what was this? Others will tell you that it was "sleeping" - which gets confirmed (proven) e.g. by seeing somebody else taking a nap. Sleep does not "proof itself". We define it by agreeing on a word for multiple collective observations. E.g. the Aboriginees have a much different understanding about sleep than we (might) have.
