Symbol: Sleep
Why sleep fascinates me so much is because it acts as proof to me, that the human mind also needs rest as well. A specific type of people that need to constantly be thinking, and alter who they are as people, are actors. To trick your mind into thinking that you are a totally different person with different emotions is something that I think sounds impossible, because it's still you. What actors do to get into their roles is something I find remarkable, and with sleep, I find that the more actors enshroud themselves within their roles, the more vivid their dreams start to become. I for one, am a victim of these vivid dreams. Sometimes the dreams become so vivid that I wake up and act upon whatever I feel is necessary based upon the dream, and this can sometimes be dangerous. Sleep, is somewhere that people can escape into, and it's proof that the human brain is a master of creativity as well. Even in sleep, we're ourselves, even when the brain opens up and creates a massive world, we still know who we are. So, how hard is it really, when actors need to take on the role of a character, and believe who they really are?
INteresting idea. You can use the quotes from Shakespeare related to sleep. He has so much to say about it in his plays. We will need to clarify this but I can talk with you about it.
