A study of Molana's school of thought (A case study of sleep phenomenon)

Every speech and writing is done in order to convey a message to the audience and to communicate with him, but Rumi sometimes does not express his message naturally and based on a structure based on Sufi language habits and system of thought. He shatters the foundation of the reader's expectations and imaginations by disrupting the basis of mystical definitions. The dream is also intertwined in Rumi's mind with a multifaceted attitude and every moment is manifested differently. In this research, a descriptive-analytical method based on library data examines Rumi's thought style on the issue of sleep and its fundamental difference with common mystical ideas.

The research method in this article is analytical-descriptive.

Rumi has a different orientation regarding sleep and dreaming. While paying attention to this mystical and spiritual function of sleep, he considers awakening to be the cause of transcendence. "Transcendence" is one of the most important aspects of Rumi's mystical view of the phenomenon of sleep, which ultimately leads him to "God consciousness"; In other words, Rumi achieves consciousness through the process of sleep as well as through escape from sleep, and this issue is effective in transforming the poet's existential "I" into a new and extensive "I" or "I" connected to the kingdom.

The element of awakening plays a key and important role in Rumi's thought. Contrary to the common practice among other mystics, he considers the "true awakening" of the heart to have the same value as the dream, which is the gateway to knowledge in the true seeker. Rumi has somehow resorted to innovation and deconstruction of meaning in this matter. For Rumi, the phenomenon of sleep is on the one hand an escape from virtual sleep and the neglect caused by it, and on the other hand it is the same as awakening. For Rumi, the sun is a factor that keeps him from sleeping, frightens him from sleep, and brings him closer to his "human face."
