There is no waking, sleeping or dreaming, nor any other condition of being, in the Turiya or transcendent state of Brahma [as in those of the divine hypostases of Brahma, Virat and others]. It is something as the pure and primeval light and as the transparent air, all quiet and still, [as the infinite eternity].
