Name of the stage.
Jagrat-turya
Remembrance of the turya state also. Exclusive students of religion and philosophy who possess highly developed intellectual power reach this stage. Devotees and yogis also attain to it. Turya is called super-consciousness, or cosmic consciousness. Not only do people who reach this stage "know that they had dream and dreamless sleep states, but over and above this, when they wake up, they remember the experiences of their turya state and say that immediately before awakening they felt an ecstatic pleasure which they are unable to explain in ordinary language,"
Swapna-jagrat Recognition, while dreaming, of a dream as a state of consciousness different from waking consciousness. Awareness of the additional fact that the dream will disappear ou waking up. In this stage a person "still believes it to be a creation of another creator and himself a created personality, separate from all other creatures of the dream world."

Sushuptijagrat
xxiii
Swapna-turya Awareness of the fourth avastha (state of consciousness), that is turya, while still dreaming.
Mastery over one's dream creation and the power to stop or alter it at will. In this stage one fully recognises "that he is dreaming, that the dream world is his own mental creation and that he will next pass into a dreamless sleep state; but he does not know his fourth avastha, the turya."
Awareness during deep-sleep of the bare fact of one's existence. In this stage one" still believes that, though not seen by him, the waking world as well as other personalties like himself also exist."
