Note:
  1. Dream (Sleep Walking) is not a mode by itself but is a companion mode to the Standby Sleep mode. This mode cannot be entered directly through a software command.

All transitions from the Run state to any of the low-power states is simply initiated by the WFI command from the CPU, however, prior to initiating the WFI command.
