During the period when you are asleep, your conscious mind tends to shut off. Then you begin to dream of soft kittens, probablydancing on top of a piano. And then suddenly you wake up. Your mind becomes activated again. Familiar thoughts begins to flood into your conscious brain. This occurs almost instantly, you begin to gain awareness of your self-image, your responsibilities, yours goals and ambitions, then comes your relationships, finances and how desperately you would need to be successful.
