" I have a doubt that giving a higher reality to the waking state distinguishing it from dream experience, in the traditional advaita, is only with a view to averting the solipsistic, nihilistic, positions of the yogachara and madhyamika buddhistic schools; and that ultimately both the states suffer from the same error of unreality, the one not being superior to the other. Why I am dilating on this point is that Bhaghavan Ramna does not make this distinction. > with warm regards, > sankarraman > Namaste All, Dreams it seems can be personal and shared. If one is meeting with other dream situations whilst out of body so to speak, astral travelling whilst asleep etc. So really it isn't that much different from the waking state where we have apparent personal experiences and shared experiences of the illusion.................ONS..Tony.
