In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Nidrita (निद्रित) refers to a “dream” (=sleeping), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Janaka says to Aṣṭavakra]: “He who by nature is empty minded, and who thinks of things only unintentionally, is freed from deliberate remembering like one awakened from a dream (nidrita) [nidrito bodhita iva kṣīṇasaṃsmaraṇo hi saḥ]. When my desire has been eliminated, I have no wealth, friends, robber senses, scriptures or knowledge? [...]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
