The state of deep sleep is viewed as some sort of border between life and death. The critical beginning of a person on this border “achieves itself” and “is liberated from fatigue”, but the spiritual substance of a person, his soul, is sort of detached from it.  When the time comes to wake up the soul returns to its owner. This occurs in a moment and is independent of how far it is from his body.

    Cool shot. Kind of creepy how it really looks like her soul is coming out of her body while she is sleeping.
