The three states do not exist; that is not its point; what is felt as real in each states is one and the same thing that is the consciousness, the true Self.

 Those who object that the means and ends of waking are different from those of dreams, and therefore they are not on the same level, ignore that you have time, space and causal relation in both experiences. These three things make the waking experience real to everyone: and are its chief characteristics; similarly they give the same sense of reality to dream. They say waking is real and dream is illusory, but for the one who has learnt to view the worldview on the base of Atman, which is in the form of consciousness as self, both are illusory.

Where is the need of a creator when one’s own dream experience offers proof that, the true self bring into being a whole waking experience, which contains world and persons, and if it can create a dream world, why not also a waking world? Only seeker should not forget that 'Self ' does not refer to the ego which is itself a produced thing but he must know the true self is the formless Atman or consciousness.

The Advanced stages of pursuit of truth, resulting from the constant practice of inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base leads to “awareness of the true self”. One has to mentally separate the self from the three states, know the three states to be the consciousness, because the substance and witness of the three states is the consciousness.

The three states do not exist; that is not its point; what is felt as real in each states is one and the same thing that is the consciousness, the true Self.
