The Upanishads (c. 700 BCE) identify four states of being. These are Jaagrat "the waking state"; Swapna "the dream state"; Sushubdi "the deep sleep state"; and Turiya "the sleepless sleep") The first 3 states cover our day-to-day experience; the fourth state is only accessed when the mind is at rest.
