While awake
Physical things are real.
Memory is intact
Eyes see
Ears hear
Skin feels
And, nose perceive scent
But, while in sleep,
Having travelled to another realm,
Putting on an unknown self
In an intangible world,
Sense organs get deactivated
Yet, objects are seen
Sounds are heard
Pains are felt
And, scent are perceived.
The question props up -
"Which is real?
The physical or dream?
Or, are both vapour?
That distill off in due time?"
