স্বপ্ন (হিন্দু দর্শন)

স্বপ্ন হল একটি সংস্কৃত শব্দ। হিন্দু দর্শনে স্বপ্ন হল চেতনার অবস্থা যখন একজন ব্যক্তি (সত্তা) ঘুমের মধ্যে স্বপ্ন দেখেন। এই অবস্থায় সে ইন্দ্রিয়ের দ্বারা বাহ্যিক মহাবিশ্বকে উপলব্ধি করতে পারে না। এই অবস্থায় স্মৃতি বা কল্পনার সচেতন কার্যকলাপ থাকতে পারে। এটিকে সাধারণত জাগ্রত চেতনা (জাগ্রত), গভীর ঘুমের অবস্থার সাথে তুলনা করা হয় যেখানে কোন জ্ঞান হয় না (সুষুপ্তি), এবং চতুর্থ রাজ্য যা তুরীয় নামে পরিচিত। চেতনার এই চারটি অবস্থা ছান্দোগ্য উপনিষদে বর্ণনা করা হয়েছে। মাণ্ডুক্য উপনিষদ স্বপ্নকে মনের অবস্থা হিসেবে ব্যাখ্যা করে। Shiva Sutra of Vasugupta as translated by: Feuerstein, Georg (2013-09-11).

"[Even] during the differentiation [of consciousness into the three modes of] waking, dream sleep, and deep sleep, [there is continuous] emergence of enjoyment of the Fourth [i.e., absolute Reality]. (1.7) The waking state (jâgrat) [consists in conditional or finite] knowledge (jnâna). (1.8) Dream sleep (svapna) [consists in] imagination (vikalpa). (1.9) Deep sleep (saushupta) [corresponding to] illusion (mâyâ) [consists in complete] nondifferentiation (aviveka).

Patrick Olivelle, The Early Upanishads Annotated, p. 23. "The cavity of the heart is the seat of the vital powers and the self and plays a central role in the explanations of the three states of awareness—waking, dreaming, and dreamless sleep— as well as of death. In sleep, the cognitive powers distributed throughout the body during the waking hours are gathered together in the cavity of the heart. The space of this cavity is homologized with cosmic space (see CU 3.12.7-9), and in the dream state the person travels about this space seeing and enjoying the same type of things that he experienced while awake. During deep and dreamless sleep, the self slips out of that cardiac space and enters the veins going from the heart to the peri- cardium; there it remains oblivious to everything (see BU 2.1; 4.3-4)."
