by Kenneth Jaques | 31,733 words
The Mandukya Upanishad is a short, just twelve verses, description of the material manifestation and the eventual return to unmanifest form of the Universe....
Verse 2
2. And on account of the time being not long, a person does not see things in a dream, having actually gone over to different regions, and further, when awakened, every one is not in that region which he had travelled over to in the dream.
"And on account of the time being not long, a person does not see things in a dream, having actually gone over to different regions",
Further obvious proof of dream events being false is offered, in the case of distances travelled to foreign locations being too great. During a dream period a person could dream of travelling to the other side of the world, which is too far to travel in one night. Again this can be seen only from the higher "waking state".
"further, when awakened, every one is not in that region which he had travelled over to in the dream".
Besides, people don't wake up in the place they were dreaming of just before waking. but, again this is only seen in the waking state following the dream state.
