Verse 7.205.10

चिद्भानमेव तत्स्वप्नजगच्छब्दैः प्रकथ्यते ।
भानं चास्याः स्वभावः खं तत्कदाचिन्न शाम्यति ॥ १० ॥

cidbhānameva tatsvapnajagacchabdaiḥ prakathyate |
bhānaṃ cāsyāḥ svabhāvaḥ khaṃ tatkadācinna śāmyati || 10 ||

Thus it is the same reflection of the intellectual, which takes the names both of the dream as also of the world; the working of the mind and its reflection in itself are natural to intellect, and though the visions subside with the disappearance of the dream upon waking, yet the working and reflecting of the mind are never at rest, either in waking or dreaming.
