does a Jnani know the dream to be unreal while in dream ? ( in other words,
the Turiya Jnana
attained in waking continues to be available during dream state also ? )

or it is to be understood that..

Jnani knows that dream is unreal and waking is unreal too (as all avasthas
are due to adhyaasa), during waking only?

Thanks
