The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

1
Chapter II
Vaitathya Prakarana
(The Chapter on Illusion)
Harih Aum. The wise declare the unreality of all entities
seen in dreams, because they are located within the body
and the space therein is confined.
2
The dreamer, on account of the shortness of the time
involved, cannot go out of the body and see the dream
objects. Nor does he, when awakened, find himself in
the places seen in the dream.
3
Scripture, on rational grounds, declares the nonexistence
of the chariots etc. perceived in dreams.
Therefore the wise say that the unreality established
by reason is proclaimed by scripture.
