Sometimes in a dream we see something never experienced or heard of in this life, but all these incidents have been experienced at different times, in different places and in different conditions.

In the previous verse it was explained that in dreams we see that which was experienced during the day. But why is it that we sometimes in our dreams see what we have never heard of or seen at any time during this life? Here it is stated that even though such events may not be experienced in this life, they were experienced in previous lives. According to time and circumstance, they combine so that in dreams we see something wonderful that we have never experienced. For instance, we may see an ocean on the peak of a mountain, or we may see that the ocean has dried up. These are simply combinations of different experiences in time and space. Sometimes we may see a golden mountain, and this is due to our having experienced gold and mountains separately. In the dream, under illusion, we combine these separate factors. In this way we are able to see golden mountains, or stars during the day. The conclusion is that these are all mental concoctions, although they have actually been experienced in different circumstances. They have simply combined together in a dream. This fact is further explained in the following verse.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Sometimes one sees in the mind things that are impossible to see or hear in this life. These things should be understood to be experiences dependent on a place, time and action. “How is it that one sometimes sees impossible things in dreams, such as an ocean on a mountain top, stars during the day or one’s own body without a head?” It should be understood that whatever form appears is dependent on a place, time, or action. The ocean on a mountain top depends on seeing those things in particular places. Seeing stars in the daylight depends on experiencing stars in the night (a particular time). Taking a massage or other events depends on actions performed during the day. One may then perceive the illusory action of having one’s head cut off in a dream because of a disturbance of the dhātus. .
