अदृष्टमश्रुतं चात्र क्वचिन्मनसि दृश्यते ।
यथा तथानुमन्तव्यं देशकालक्रियाश्रयम् ॥ ६७ ॥
adṛṣṭam aśrutaṁ cātra
kvacin manasi dṛśyate
yathā tathānumantavyaṁ
deśa-kāla-kriyāśrayam
Sometimes in a dream we see something never experienced or heard of in this life, but all these incidents have been experienced at different times, in different places and in different conditions.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Dreams may contain events never seen or heard of in this life. The purport explains that their elements were experienced in previous lives under different circumstances.
The mind combines experiences from different times and places into unfamiliar scenes. Having experienced gold and mountains separately, one may dream of a golden mountain.
Such dream scenes are mental concoctions rather than new, independent experiences. Under illusion, the mind joins separate impressions together.
Śrīla Prabhupāda's own sentences, chosen from the purport as its central points. Read the full purport on Vedabase to see them in place.
Worldly absorption → Sobering awareness. The mind's identification with material life becomes visible.
