" Now, forgetting is the means of transition from one state of consciousness to another. Even in the case of sleep, which can be considered as a “natural ecstasy”, one has to forget the world of the day in order to be able to pass into the world of the night. In order to fall asleep one has to be able to forget. Insomnia is due to the inability to forget. "
