Id Entity

What is left after all construction is removed? The subconscious self as a package, a parcel to be unwrapped. The difference between the sleeping me and the awake me. Somewhere in there things are determined.
Some people experience sleeping and dreaming as life without boundaries, without limitations . To them waking up means having to force themselves back into the straightjacket of the physical world. The limited world.
To me it is the other way around. I love sleeping, but I wake up to a part of life in which I can actually do things. Waking up means all restrictions are lifted, I am no longer caught in sleep and dreams that chase me down an increasingly narrow lane.
It is an Id-thing.
Who I am, wo we are, is determined by our ego and our Id. Those two make us who we are, they move each other about without telling us what they're doing.
Does your night reach into your day? Does your sleep resist your waking body? Do your dreams fight our thoughts? Do you feel you want to scream to keep the day at a distance? If only for a few minutes?
That's your Id kicking your ego. An active Id entity keeps the flow between your conscious self and your subconscious self open and therefore your subconscious self barges in whenever it feels like it. Dreaming and waking fade into one another and the waking world, the physical world will lose it's attraction, because nothing can compete with dreams. Not for the Id.
But if your day reaches into your night, if your thoughts resist your dreams, if your body shakes off sleep like a dog shakes off water, then your Id is folding. The physical world invades your dreams and your dreams will lose, because nothing can compete with the real thing, the action. Not for the ego.
