I agree with Ajahn but more than just sleep or asleep I really think that is more about a psychological need. This need seems to be rooted in the unconscious desire to make things happen as we wish they should happen. As well, all speculative ideas are grounded in the deep need to be into superstition. Also as children do, adults do. A child thinks that his toy or her doll has some sort of power or self property that makes it special; it fits his or her emotional needs. Altars, figures, paintings, legends, told stories, statues, and all sort of "sacred" or ritualized artifacts, are not dolls or toys but they represent and fulfill that same need.

A topic to reflect about.
