Brahman is reality itself. It has this extraordinary power which produces this magical display. But it is not a second reality apart from brahman. Just as sleep and the mind, he sleep has a unique power. It makes the mind forget the waking state, and it becomes the foundation for dreams. Without sleeping, you can't dream. So i am giving an example of waking and dreaming to explain how consciousness projects a minolomaya project a universe.
