svapnanidrājñānālambanaṃ vā .. 1.38..

38. Or by meditating on the knowledge that comes in sleep.

Commentary on Sri Patanjali Yogasutra by Swami Vivekananda

Sometimes a man dreams that he has seen angels coming to him and talking to him, that he is in an ecstatic condition, that he has heard music floating through the air. He is in a blissful condition in that dream, and when he wakes, it makes a deep impression on him. Think of that dream as real, and meditate upon it. If you cannot do that, meditate on any holy thing that pleases you.
