Well, then you would see its true nature.You would understand instantly that it is not real, that is just the product of the human mind.This, i call, enlightenment, seeing the true nature of reality.

This is just my humble opinion about it, I may be wrong, I am still learning.
Practicing Yoga Nidra I have learned a new word “Turiya”:
