svapne taddarśanenāntaḥ kathaṃ jāgransamaṃ bhavet 19

bādhakaḥ svapne tat darśanena antaḥ katham jāgrat samam bhavet

19. Śrī Rāma said: "This is not so, because in a dream, an immediate conviction (of its reality) is quickly contradicted (or sublated). How then can the waking state be equal to a dream, when by its (waking's) perception, the inner vision (of the dream) is negated?"
