Sleep

Hypothesis on sleep…

I suspect that the thousands of gigs of RAM that make up the id’s flowchart are actually volatile memory.

That is, they need power (they aren’t  there after we die) and they have to be fully refreshed every night to prevent ‘errors’ building up.

Without the nightly refresh, after a few nights, we are screwed because we can’t even make simple instinctive decisions (e.g. lift that leg, pump that heart, etc).

Sleep…. Nightly refresh of volatile memory. All others processes of the id have to be shutdown while this if going on, hence sleep.

The super ego, however, plows ahead with its scenario making and efforts to discredit the id via dreams.
