"In the time of sleep this body is as though dead;... but the spirit lives and subsists. Nay, its penetration is increased, its flight is higher, and its intelligence is greater... Our body is like a cage, and the spirit (soul) is like the bird. We see that without the cage this bird flies in the world of sleep; therefore if the cage becomes broken, the bird will continue and exist: its feelings will be even more powerful, its perceptions greater, and its happiness increased." (Bwf 326- 7)
(46:5)
