svapne svapnāvabodhaḥ saṃstvanyadā sa mudhaiva hi .
budbudo budbudavidhau satyo mithyaiva cānyadā .. 16

16. [Sanskrit available] Any thing seen in a dream is true as a dream, and appears to be so in the state of dreaming, but afterwards it proves to be untrue, so a bubble of water is true as a bubble, which comes to be known afterwards to be false in reality. (So all things appearing to be true to sight, vanish into nothing when they are judged aright, and even a judge may deem a thing as just, which upon further and right investigation is known as unjust).

Vihari-Lala Mitra 1891, The Yoga-Vásishtha-Mahárámáyana of Válmiki
