Sleep / Higher Dimension
Sleeping on earth is mostly about being submerged in a state of stupor or being occupied in an incoherent psychic experience. It may be said that sleeping in an earthy body is a nightly experience of a semi-comatose state. One hardly remembers anything even though one feels sufficiency or insufficiency and even painafter finding the self awake as the physical body.
The sleep state is studied by a yogi, as to how it is initiated, as to what happens to the observatory self during sleep prevalence, as to how the self-awakens when consciousness of the physical body is reestablished.
What principle or power operates the sleep-wake cycle?
Certainly it is not the coreSelf in each case. Even when someone takes sleeping medication, even then it is not a willpower decision that causes sleep but a chemical action which induces the stupor state or the complete suspension of objectivity.
If there is no self, if the self is an illusion how does that self become reestablished as the same personality after sleeping?
Once during breath infusion practice, September 17, 2018, I became aware of the presence of Yogeshwarananda on the astral side. Suddenly kundalini sparkled within the trunk of the subtle body. It spread though the neck into the head. This felt like being immerged in sweet syrup with bliss crystals tenderly sparkling like a lover’s touch. I was fully alert to it, when Yogeshwarananda said that this was how it feels when one is in the Maharloka dimensional existence during sleeping at that place. One is in full consciousness there during sleep but one is like a sugar crystal in a syrup of crystals feeling bliss energy during the entire sleeping phase. There is no stupor, drowsiness or suspension of self-consciousness as one experiences with a sleeping material body.
On Maharloka, sleeping is like going to a celestial health resort. One remains fully conscious ingesting bliss crystals which give the celestial astral body special life energy which is not experiences in the realms below.

Yogeshwarananda explained that there is no need for an accomplished yogin to take a new material body as the child of parents on planet earth or in other locale elsewhere which gives the facility of species of life in material forms. His idea is that if there is a need for physical experience for whatever reason, a yogi may gain the contact through others who already have material forms.
A yogi can enter the psyche of another person where that possessed individual knows or is totally unaware of his presence. Then the yogi may experience anything that person experiences. That would be anything good or bad, moral or immoral, criminal or socially uplifting, degrading or uplifting.
