Verse 3.26.48

स्वप्ने नगरमुर्वीं वा शून्यं खातं च बुध्यते ।
स्वप्राङ्गना च कुरुते शून्याप्यर्थक्रियां नृणाम् ॥ ४८ ॥

svapne nagaramurvīṃ vā śūnyaṃ khātaṃ ca budhyate |
svaprāṅganā ca kurute śūnyāpyarthakriyāṃ nṛṇām || 48 ||

A dream presents us the sights of cities and lands, of air and water, where there are no such things in actuality; and it causes the movements of our limbs and bodies (as in somnambulation) for nothing.
