sleep

the white, neutral awakening:

This suspended-time (=a definition of the Neutral as such): like an airlock, not perhaps between two worlds (dream≠awake) but between two bodies.

In reality, this neutral awakening-precious, rare, fragile, brief- relates back to the substance of sleep: it is like a readable (perceptible, verbalizable) version of utopian sleep. Indeed, the aporia of sleep= anticipated, fantasized as a happy state: implies a divided consciousness cut off from speech. In that, we will call it utopian sleep, or utopia of sleep, since we can’t speak of it except as a fantasy: sleep that can only be inferred from some privileged awakenings, so fragile that they are heart-rendering.

The utopia of sleep is dreamless.

δημήτρη γράψε μια μικρή σκέψη για το κομμάτι που σε ενδιαφέρει. Θελω να καταλάβω τον τρόπο της προσέγγισης.

μπορεις να παραθέσεις κάτι πολύ απτό σε αυτή την ωραία σκέψη του Μπαρτ. Νομίζω κάτι μπορεί να βγεί καλό από την επισύναψη.
