Acharya Prashant addresses the concept of daydreaming, noting that the term is often used pejoratively by materialists who believe the waking state should be dedicated solely to facts and reality. He explains that while materialists distinguish between dreams and facts, wise men and spiritual traditions view both as part of the same dualistic state of consciousness. In this view, the waking world and its so-called facts are just another form of dreaming, as both involve a subject-object relationship. Therefore, there is no fundamental difference between dreaming at night and perceiving the world during the day; both are expressions of a mind limited by space, time, and nature.
