Awareness of surroundings, but not through the senses. The buddhi doesn't function on a gross level during sleep. Tom T writes: It is my experience that one can have complete awareness of surroundings during sleep. The only problemo is that of complete and utter boredom. It is like watching the old Test Pattern on TV which used to be on most of the night. After so many nights of the same bedroom and the same bed it is all the same, all the same. After a while one just shuts it down. Deep sleep is preferable to total boredom. Spend weeks, months and years being aware of your intimate surroundings and see how long before you shut it down. TOm Yogic sleep *is* a form of deep sleep, albeit as Gaudapada notes, it is blissful. Thus there is more "charm" in yogic deep sleep than in regular deep sleep. Some people have suggested this may be another reason that yogic sleep is so rejuvenating, the bliss is the nervous system in deep rest. When to much attention is present, yogic sleep becomes not only more of a sleep disturbance, but also extremely boring.
