Did you see the world in deep sleep?

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Q: If during my sleep I did not see it (the world), others who are not sleeping saw it.

M: To say you existed while asleep, was it necessary to call in the evidence of others so as to prove it to you? Why do you seek their evidence now? Those "others" can tell you of having seen the world (during your sleep) only when you yourself are awake. With regard to your own existence it is different. On waking up you say you had a sound sleep, so that to that extent you are aware of yourself in the deepest sleep, whereas you have not the slightest notion of the world's existence then. Even now, while you are awake, is it the world that says. "I am real", or is it you?
