 When we downplay the role of dreaming, and we've done that with sleep for a long time, what happens is waking dominates, and we are wake-centric. It's similar to ethnocentrism. We believe that waking is the gold standard for consciousness, and if you have waking that is not modulated or tempered in a rhythmic fashion by sleep and dreams, it's runaway. And we are, as a culture, we're hyper aroused. This is sort of hidden in plain view. I was just in California, and I used to live there, and I love it. But you know, you can't not speed on the free way because everybody is going above the speed limit. And I think it's true with the psychological pace of life. We're a hyper aroused culture.
