Within the illusion the formless soul is bound by form,time and space. if the formless soul is bound by form,time and space than it is also bound by birth, life, death and universe. Within the illusion the soul sees everything as physical entity(ego or waking entity) within the world(waking).
The formless soul is in the form of consciousness. And soul or consciousness is the the innermost self. All attachment within the illusory world are also created out of consciousness; consciousness itself deludes through the illusion. Ordinary man does pious acts, but he does not know the consciousness is the ultimate truth and wastes his life away with his inherited beliefs and accumulated knowledge.

The one, who becomes aware of the
fact that, the consciousness is ultimate reality, is eternally becomes free from
experiencing the illusion as reality.
The three states are part and parcel of the illusion. Within the waking experience, the waking body and the waking world are present. Similarly the dream body and dream world are present within the dream. If waking or dream is not there
the body and the universe ceases to exist. the dream becomes unreal when waking takes palace .similarly the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns. the wisdom dawns when waking entity realizes it itself is not the self therefore the waking world in which it exists is mere illusion.
Limiting the mind to the physical entity is cause of the experiencing the illusion as reality.
Clinging to waking world is clinging to illusion. Clinging to illusion is clinging to ignorance. Clinging to ignorance is clinging to the illusory experience of birth life, death. clinging illusory birth,life and death as reality is accepting the world as as reality.
By accepting the experience of birth, life, death and world as reality is accepting the unreality as reality. Therefore, there is a need to know the formless witness which is aware of the three states which comes and goes in sucession.
The self is not the body which is born lives and dies within the waking world , but self is the formless soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

One tries to grasp illusion, but it eludes his grasp. “When one abandoned and discards illusion with by accepting the truth that, the consciousness is the true self, then the ignorance disappears and the reality starts revealing itself. Ignorance gives birth to the mind, which is mere illusion. The mind rises and subsides from the formless Soul.
Illusion is intoxicating material. It grips everyone and everything within the
duality. Because it pervades and grips everywhere and in everything in duality
therefore, everyone becomes unaware of the reality. No one has known thy bare reality. Only
who are discovered the true self and attuned mentally to the soul(consciousness), realizes the duality is mere mirage created out of
Consciousness.
Illusion has affected the three states,
and physical discipline erases not its effect; and men, involved in strife, are
intoxicated with its intoxication are immersed in manipulating the high and low
of their physical life. Only through
Self-knowledge one will be able to overcome the intoxication of illusion.
"When a person is sleeping soundly, free from dreams, with a still mind, that is the Self, fearless and deathless. That is Brahman, the supreme."
