The article examines Russian proverbs and saying that describe the state of sleep. These reflect the traditional folk understandings of what happens to a person in this state and how he/she perceives the world."Sleep" proverbs and sayings produce direct and indirect evidence of time shrinking and expanding in sleep. The space of sleep reality is perceived as an unknown place to which one can return in order to "make corrections". When asleep, one becomes "pensive", "thinks others’ thoughts" or "loses one’s mind". A person’s mental state is treated as "alien", causing an "unsanctioned" speech generation. Sleep in proverbs and sayings is endowed with mutually exclusive features, viewed in the realms of either death or life.
