Dream (Svapna)

Svapna is the dream state — consciousness turned inward, weaving a private world out of its own stored impressions while the senses rest. Unlike waking's shared, solid world, the dream world is self-luminous and personal, built entirely from the mind's own material. The contemplative traditions prize it as evidence that consciousness can project a whole convincing world from within, a clue to how it projects the waking world too.
