Asleep, that is during rapid eye movement or REM sleep. This is significant because when you are in REM sleep, this is when you dream. This is also you have relaxed. That's when your parasympathetic nervous system is in its maximal state. So that goes with saying that a happen when your mind is in a relaxed state.
