In Bhagavad Gita,Lord Krishna talks about an imperishable banyan tree whose roots are upwards. The real form of this tree can be perceived along the banks of a lake where we can find the inverted reflection of the tree in the water.
This is actually a misled reflection of the real tree. The real tree is in the spiritual world. Our relationships in this material world are exactly similar to the ones in spiritual world but just misled due to our identification of the self with this temporary material body.
The reflection is representing the reality but has no value. The mayavadi school of philosophers say that this world is not real but illusion. This world is real but temporary. When a man shaves his beard he uses the reflection in mirror to correct the real thing. Therefore even though our existence in material world is like a dream it's relatively real to take us back to the real dimensions of spiritual world.
