यावद्भानं किल स्वप्ने तावत्सैव नियन्त्रणा ।
स एव संविद्भानस्य कुर्यान्नियमनं मुनिः ॥ २१ ॥

yāvadbhānaṃ kila svapne tāvatsaiva niyantraṇā |
sa eva saṃvidbhānasya kuryānniyamanaṃ muniḥ || 21 ||

As long as the mind dwells on the appearance of dreams (either in sleep or waking), so long it is troubled with its vagaries; therefore the sage must wipe off their impressions from his consciousness.* * The mind involved in ignorance, is said to be waking, and the uncontrouled mind is styled as dreaming: the mind subdued by weariness is said to be asleep, and when brought under subjection by any effort, is called samadhi or meditation, lastly its liberation from ignorance, is known as its state of mukti or emancipation.
