Enlightenment is described as being like awakening from a dream.  What an individual learned is one's own and not from outside sources.  Meaning the individual sees the world in all its aspects without the fog obstructing its view.  This fog takes many manifestations including; (in our own world) how we are instructed to think from school, how we are suppose to look by the magazines and TV, how much money we should make, the way we should act and dress,  all of which are only the cognitive constructions of someone else's mind dictatorially forces as "the way it should be" into our minds.  The enlightened mind will be free from these mind traps.
