I wonder if Plutarch and other Greeks thought of "sleep" and "dreaming" as different, or if the word for "sleep" used here and in Plato's Apology (where he gives his famous "either/or" for what to expect from death and says either is preferable to living through shameful deeds) implies the not-dreaming part.

Cheers,
Jeff
