The Spiritual Purpose of Sleep: Realigning with Your Higher Self through Dreams and Service

This discussion focused on the spiritual meanings and benefits of sleep, dreams, and metaphysical restoration. From a word study of the Hebrew words for “sleep,” the discussion explores the concepts of a sweet sleep versus a languishing sleep. It provides spiritual insights on realigning with our higher nature through sleep, dreams, and service to others. As an example of looking past surface events to find ways to help others, the discussion views the story of Job. The story shows how we can still be connected to God, even in times of trouble.

The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether they eat little or much, but as for the rich, their abundance permits them no sleep. Ecclesiastes 5:12
