If life is a dream, then what is reality?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Who said that life is a dream? Whatever has happened in the past till this very moment, is nothing more than what remains in our memory, and our memory is no different than a dream. If you see everything that has passed in life from this understanding, then it all really appears as a dream. The moment such knowledge dawns upon you, something stirs and awakens within you – and that is awareness, that is Prajna (awakened intellect) . All these practices that we do are only to bring ourselves into that state of awareness, nothing more.
