"Wakefulness (yaqza) — may God encompass you in this matter with thoughts and ideas — is not to the exclusion of dreaming if the soul of the vigilant is awake and unblemished by evil and impurity. Dreaming, however, is more extraordinary, and man is more avid for it, for it is like a legacy one inherits, while wakefulness is like something gained by toil. And ardour for a vision is commensurate with this."
