The Sandman (1992)

A bedtime story for adults. Based on a Hoffman story, this gothic version of the classic story conveys the horror of the original- and also offers another reading as a primer in Jungian theories: sleep equals denial of life, unconsciousness is therefore an invitation to death. The film led to Paul Berry (1961-2001) working as animator on Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas."

Wen you sleep, you are in an unconscious state, therefore you are escaping reality. You are denying being conscious and living. Therefore, you are inviting death.

You know that does make sense, but I see it more as a trust your base instincts, there there for a reason.

The Sandman makes noise but the boy ignores it and keeps trying to sleep,being awake is what keeps the sandman at bay thus why he makes noise, only the foolish ignore their inate senses and thus lose them.
