To originate from bile.
As for the dreams that are of the wind type,
They are said to occur during the third watch of the night.

“If one sees all the directions
Completely filled with light,
And perceives oneself as moving through space,
Traversing the firmament of the sky,

“And continually wandering everywhere
Through space as far as the expanse of the sky,
Such a dream is said to be of the wind type,
As it brings this type of experience.

“Swimming,¹¹⁴⁵ jumping,
Climbing trees,
Reciting all treatises,
The mantras in particular,

“And also teaching or speaking,
Are generally caused by wind.
Also, climbing thorny trees,
Or eating food that is very bitter,

“Pungent, or sour—any such type of food—
Is caused by wind.
Tree fruits that are scattered by the wind
Produce masses of the humor of wind¹¹⁴⁶—

“If they are eaten in a dream,
Such a dream is said to be generated by wind.
The element wind present in
Liquid and solid foods and substances¹¹⁴⁷

“Agitates the minds of beings
When they touch or eat them.
If one sees oneself
As being a servant to all beings,

“If this vision comes in a dream,
Such a person should be known to be of the wind type.¹¹⁴⁸
Different types of movements,
Different types of embracing and speaking,

“Or different harsh expressions¹¹⁴⁹
Indicate that the dream is the wind type.
These and other types of dreams
Have been taught by the most eminent of men.

“Three types of associations have been taught
Related to those who are of the attached, hateful, or deluded types:
Those with a proclivity to attachment generate phlegm,
Bile is the product of hatred,

“While wind originates from delusion.
A mixture of the three generates a mixture of humors.
When attachment is stirred in sleep,
It will manifest as sexual dreams.¹¹⁵⁰

“Thus, the desire for women will manifest
In dreams generated by phlegm.
Quarreling based on hatred
Will occur in dreams generated by bile.

“Torpidity born from delusion
Manifests in dreams as the loss of memory.
In reality, though, dreams always manifest
Based on a mixture of the humors.¹¹⁵¹

“Thus, that which is designated as a dream
Is devoid, in all its [three] types, of pure essence.¹¹⁵²
Those who teach the truth taught the activities and lifespans
Particular to each of the [humor-based] category of beings.¹¹⁵³
