To think of the language of Savitri, it feels like Sri Aurobindo has stretched the bounds of the finite to the utmost, by capturing the Limitless in a limited language. One gets clear glimpses of para vak even through the finite and fractured human mind.
Here dream-fact is akin to the Dream state of the Upanishads wherein creation first enters the dream state, Hiranyagarbha, Swapna, from the state of supreme Intelligence, Pragya, Sushupti. We could almost say poetically that the Supreme Being in the state of absolute Superconscient trance begins to dream of the manifestation. Dream here means the Will to manifest is descending through the higher worlds and concrete material forms, Virat, jagrat, has not yet come into existence. However this dream state in which things are being formed is not an illusion because the dreamer is the Lord Himself. The dream is his sight extending through Space and manifesting through the instrumentality of Time. There is behind the visible manifestation much more that stands behind in the dream state that is progressively entering into the material world. That is why the material creation itself is true because it is the last result of the cosmic dreamer and not a random arbitrarily happening event.
However in the process of transmission through successive worlds in the dream state, the firmateur beings distort it little by little especially it passes through the lower darkened turbulent worlds. But the constant corrective too comes from within and works out the realization of the Divine Will as it passes through the Swapna awastha (dream state) through earthly instruments such as vibhutis and eventually the Avatars who are moved by the Divine Will. It is this struggle between the forces that distort and deflect the Divine Will and those that reset the balance and act as corrective so that the creation is more and more aligned to the Truth is the whole struggle and conflict of terrestrial existence.
Affectionately,
