Dreams are always a mystery. The dream state is known as Swapna in Sanskrit which literary means loss of touch or ignorance. According to Upanishads, dreaming or Swapna is one of the four states of being. The other three being Jagrit, Supta, and Turiya.

The difference between waking and dreaming state is the senses you use to perceive the object. The dream world is created out of old memories you had when you were awake.

Acharya Charak states that the transmigration in the dream is one of the indications of the soul or Atma.

Charaka, principal contributors to Ayurveda, in the classification of the Swapna, covers the waking experience, Somatic impulses, imagination.

Ancient Hindu texts suggest that the dreams, which one has during the first quarter of the night, take one year to show their effect. Dreams of the second quarter manifest their effects within 8 to 10 months. Dreams of the third quarter materialize within 3 to 5 months.

whereas dreams, which one has during the fourth quarter or Brahma Muhurta, show their effects instantly or within a month. Dreams of early morning periods are virtually ineffective for they are an outcome from the state of half-sleep.
