MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL :5. (b)-3.

(b). SVAPNA AVASTHA (DREAMING STATE) : 3.



The objects perceived in dreams are revivals of impressions received in waking state and have an external reality only to the dreamer.
When modified by the impressions which the external objects have left, the Jiva sees dreams. Perception takes place through the internal organ called Manas; so it is called “inner perception.”




Every man has his own subjective mental world and his own dream-creatures.

The dream-creatures of a young lady are her husband and new-born babe.

Her mind has two strong mental images, viz., those of her husband and baby.

The mental images are strengthened by constant thinking.

The dream-creatures of a doctor are his patients, while those of a barrister are his clients.




There is temperamental difference.

Some rarely get dreams.

A Jnani who has Knowledge of the Self will not have any dream.
