svapnaḥ
Sleep; sleeping.
In Vedanta
The dream state — in which the individual (called taijasa) creates and experiences an entire world projected by the mind alone, without external objects. The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad identifies this as the second pāda. The dream state reveals that the mind can generate a convincing experience of duality from within itself — a key insight for understanding how waking duality is also dependent on consciousness.
