Sleep
While the metaphor of sleep can denote a psychic unconsciousness, [it also] symbolizes creation and renewal. Sleep is the symbol of rebirth. In creation myths, souls go to sleep while a transformation of some duration takes place, for in sleep, we are re-created, renewed. The above excerpt is from "Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D. - a fabulous and highly recommended book!
