लघुकालात्मकः स्वप्नः सर्वदैव हि जाग्रति ।
लघुकालात्मकं जाग्रत्स्वप्नकाले सदैव च ॥ ५ ॥

laghukālātmakaḥ svapnaḥ sarvadaiva hi jāgrati |
laghukālātmakaṃ jāgratsvapnakāle sadaiva ca || 5 ||

Whatever lasts for a short while, as a temporary delusion or flight of imagination, passes under the name of a dream even in one's waking state; and so the short watchfulness of consciousness in the state of dreaming, is known as dreaming and never as waking.
