योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-62, verse-24

रूपालोकमनस्कारैः स्वप्ने चिन्नभ एव ते ।
यथोदेति तथा तत्र तद्दृश्यं खात्मकं स्थितम् ॥ २४ ॥
rūpālokamanaskāraiḥ svapne cinnabha eva te ,
yathodeti tathā tatra taddṛśyaṃ khātmakaṃ sthitam 24
24. rūpālokamanaskāraiḥ svapne citnabhaḥ eva te yathā
udeti tathā tatra tat dṛśyam khātmakam sthitam
24. svapne te rūpālokamanaskāraiḥ citnabhaḥ eva (bhavanti) yathā tad dṛśyam udeti,
tathā tatra khātmakam sthitam.
24. In a dream, those (perceptions of forms, mental acts, sounds, and words) are merely the expanse of consciousness, appearing by means of our own form-perceptions and mental acts. Just as the phenomenal world (dṛśyam) arises there (in a dream), so too, in that (ultimate reality), this visible world exists as having the nature of pure space.
