All the three states are made of the same substance, whether it is dream, deep sleep or waking experience

All the three states are made of the same substance, whether it is dream, deep sleep or waking experience. All the object and sense perception is of the same substance. This is the great lesson to be learnt by the seekers of truth.

The three divisions of time--past present and future--are within the waking or dream.  It becomes necessary to analyze the three states. Whatever may come in the future, whatever objects existed in the past, whatever thing one can think of in the present--all these are possible only in waking experience. Waking or dream consists of things, names and forms.” All names are but words.

All the three states are created out of consciousness, corresponding to formlessness. One has to mentally merge waking into dreams, then merge dream into deep sleep. When wisdom dawns than all the three states mentally merges as consciousness in the midst waking experience.

Anything which is an experience, is part of the mirage, and hence a superimposition. Consciousness is the substratum of the three states.
