waking stage is also a dream and when you wake up in the self,know it? We dream while we sleep. The dream seems to be perfectly real to you at that time. When you wake up you will realise that this dream is illusion. Likewise the so called waking stage is also a dream when you wake up in the reality of self. In deep sleep, there is neither body nor mind. In dream there is only mind which operates, which assume all the form, which illumine the dream world, with various sound, emotions, reactions etc. In the waking stage both the body, mind and senses are active.
