Because dreams arise from thoughts, they are called "dream-thoughts"; the previous seven inversions arise from false thought, and one acts while abiding in a dream, hence they are called "dream-thoughts." Or, the previous inversions are all the causes of birth-and-death, whereas these dream-thoughts are the fruits of birth-and-death: just as when abiding in a dream one mostly perceives bodies and realms, the name "dream-thoughts" is specifically applied to the fruit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2.83) - [Next: 2.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2.85) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710~en-mt.2.84) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2.84) · Pramāṇa
