Verse 7.144.17

वस्तु दृष्टं न दृष्टं च सच्चास्ते चेतनेव खे ।
स्वभावाद्भाति स्वात्मापि दृष्टवच्चातिजृम्भते ॥ १७ ॥

vastu dṛṣṭaṃ na dṛṣṭaṃ ca saccāste cetaneva khe |
svabhāvādbhāti svātmāpi dṛṣṭavaccātijṛmbhate || 17 ||

These mental impressions or reminiscences, are perceptible to us in our dreaming and not in the waking state; and though they are unseen in our waking; yet they are not lost unto us so long as we retain those impressions in the mind. They naturally appear in the soul in dreaming, as the visibles appear to sight in the waking state.
