[104] παρὰ δὲ τὸ ὑπνοῦν ἢ ἐγρηγορέναι διάφοροι γί- νονται φαντασίαι, ἐπεὶ ὧς καθ’ ὕπνους φανταζόμεθα, οὐ φανταζόμεθα ἐγρηγορότες, οὐδὲ ὡς φανταζόμεθα ἐγρηγορότες, καὶ κατὰ τοὺς ὕπνους φανταζόμεθα, ὥστε εἶναι αὐταῖς ἢ μὴ εἶναι γίνεται οὐχ ἁπλῶς ἀλλὰ πρός τι·
πρὸς γὰρ τὸ καθ’ ὕπνους ἢ πρὸς ἐγρήγορσιν. εἰκότως οὖν καθ’ ὕπνους ὁρῶμεν ταῦτα ἅ ἐστιν ἀνύπαρκτα ἐν τῷ ἐγρη- γορέναι, οὐ[κ ἐν τῷ] καθάπαξ ἀνύπαρκτα ὄντα· ἔστι γὰρ καθ’ ὕπνους, ὥσπερ τὰ ὕπαρ ἔστιν κἂν μὴ ᾖ καθ’ ὕπνους.

[104] Sleeping and waking, too, give rise to different impressions, since we do not imagine when awake what we imagine in sleep, nor when asleep what we imagine when awake; so that the existence or non- existence of our impressions is not absolute but relative, being in relation to our sleeping or waking condition. Probably, then, in dreams we see things which to our waking state are unreal,¹ although not wholly unreal; for they exist in our dreams, just as waking realities exist although non-existent in dreams.
