The same thing happens in dream. (Even there, there is no difference in awareness. But the only specialty there is this). For the duration of the dream, the known objects do not remain stable. (They are only visible). But in waking they are stable. (They can be transacted with). This causes waking and dream states to seem different. But the awareness in both states again is uniform. The states do not create change in awareness.
So in waking, there are differences in objects due to variety. Due to uniformity, awareness is without difference. The same exact situation persists in dream. When the senses are resolved, the awareness with objects arising from impressions of waking is called "dream". Even in that dream state, only objects are different from one another. There also, awareness does not undergo change. The only difference between waking and dream is this. In dream, visible known objects are not stable, they are only visible. In waking, seen objects are stable. They can be seen after the passage of time also. Only stability and lack thereof cause differences in these states. But in the awareness of both those states, there is no difference, since it is always uniform.
