Yes because the mind does not work if the brain is not functional. While sleeping the mind still works but not as powerfully as when awake. The brain however constantly works to provide the body with necessary abilities, for example telling the heart to beat, and telling the body to move. But the mind will not work if it's not, "open." So technically the mind is always, "open" but we can control it to open more towards other things, when we are thinking and are awake..

∙ 11y agoThe old saying -- "A mind is like a parachute; it functions better when open" -- is meant to be funny but meaningful. If a parachute is closed, the user dies. When your mind is open to new ideas and influences, you will live well and thrive. If your mind is closed to new influences and ideas, you will live a poor life, and your mind will wither away.
