COMMENTARY

The followers of one Sakha, namely the Kanakas, state in their text that the Supreme Lord is alone the creator of all Kamas in the dream-state for the dreamers (Katha Up., V., 8.)

He the Highest Person, who is awake in us while we are asleep, shaping one lovely sight after another. That indeed is the Bright, that is Brahman, that alone is called the Immortal. All words are contained in Him and no one goes beyond Him. This is that.

The term Kama here denotes such things as sons and the like, which are objects of desires, and does not denote mere desires. It is used in this sense in the previous passage also, such as, «Ask for all Kamas according to thy wish». (Katha Up., I., 25) And that the word Kama there means sons, etc., we infer from Katha, I., 23, where we find these Kamas described as sons and grandsons, etc. we give these three verses in the original here:

Death said: Choose sons and grandsons, who shall live a hundred years, herds of cattle, elephants, gold, and horses. Choose the wide abode of the earth, and live thyself as many harvests as thou desirest.

If thou canst think of any boon equal to that, choose wealth, and long life. Be king, Nachiketas, on the wide earth. I make thee enjoyer of all desires.

Whatever desires are difficult to attain among mortals, ask for them according to thy wish; — these fair maidens with their chariots and musical instruments, — such are indeed not to be obtained by men — be waited on by them, whom I give to thee, but do not ask me about dying.

In the Gaupavana Shruti we find the following:

From this Lord when He overpowers the soul through sleep is born verily the son (seen in dream), from Him the brother, from Him the wife.

In the next Sutra, the author mentions the material and the means, with which the Lord creates the dream objects.
