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 39
39. Having seen the unreal in the waking state, one being deeply absorbed in it, sees the same in the dream; and having seen the unreal in the dream also, one when reawakened sees it not.
The fact of all objects that are detected by the senses being unreal does not prevent one from becoming affected by them. Consequently such object will be dreamt of. Similarly unreal objects produced in dream are not seen in the waking state.
"Real" objects seen in dream are taken as unreal in dream but real in the waking state. "Real" objects seen in dream but not in the waking state are seen as unreal in the waking state.
