👉 Awakening is a concept in psychology that refers to an emotional state of being fully awake and aware. It occurs when someone is able to perceive and experience reality, even in the absence of external stimuli or events. In terms of literature, "A Wakeful Man" by William Shakespeare is often considered one of the first works to explore and describe a person who has awakened from a deep sleep, which is called an "awakening." This concept can also be applied to other cultures and societies as well
