Why it is essential for spiritual progress to meditate just before and after the sleep?

Just a month ago a girl wrote me, when she woke up from the sleep; she was able to see everything with the closed eyes. And a Metaphysician clarifies if a person sleeps with lower consciousness; unconsciously, he might do astral-travel in lower dimensions and can meet with strange looking creatures or can see the bad dreams.

The girl who felt miraculous experience was at high consciousness, somehow. And the people who see bad dreams are with lower consciousness because with higher consciousness the bad dreams or astral travel to lower dimension isn’t possible.

The Upanishads say, we have the astral body and it works with the thoughts, and during sleep when the conscious control over the physical body subsides, the astral body starts working according to the thoughts; if thoughts are positive and strong, we can see positive dreams; if they are negative, we can see negative dreams.

But, the better sleep is dream-less sleep where no positive or negative projection of the mind comes. And to get this sleep, doing regular meditation is important.

It is cleared that before sleeping why meditation is important, but after the sleep, meditation is also important because this time our body and mind are relaxed and little efforts can show greater results, as happened in that girl case.
