waking like dying

I guess we're on the topic of sleeping and dreaming so I'll post this hear too...

So I woke up the other day and the feeling of waking up is almost always one i don't like. As I felt myself dragged outta bed it felt like what i imagine dying to feel like.

I guess this video is somehow appropriate:



I think dying and waking are very similar even in our spiritual life. being awake and aware inevitably incorporates the shedding and death of the sleeping self. I guess transitions are just that, going from life to life is like going from asleep to awake.
