You may ask, how is it that what we see during the waking state is also being described as a kind of dream? How can it be? It is all right if it is on one day or on two days. We are living through several years, fifty years, sixty years, and all that we see during these fifty or sixty years in our waking state, cannot be a dream. I will give what you sometimes experience in your dreams as an answer to this question. One has had a dream. In that dream, he saw that he was just then born. In that dream he found that after he was born, he had grown into a child, he had become an adult, he had entered the classes in , he had gone through all the summer courses, gone back home, got married, got a child, the child had grown and he got that child also married; and that son after his marriage got another son who becomes his grandson and all these were seen by him in the dream. So, in the waking state if he was to have been born and if he was to have reached a stage when he could have claimed a grandson, he must at least have spent 40 to 50 years. In the dream, the events that he was born, that he had grown, that he had a grandson and that he could play with his grandson, which would have taken at least an experience of 50 years in the waking state, had all been handed to you in that one dream. The experience relates to 50 years; but if you see the actual time of the dream, it was only two minutes.
