ॐ सन्ध्ये सृष्टिराह हि ॐ ॥ ३-२-१ ॥

In the intermediate stage (of dream) occurs (real) creation; for the Upanishad says so.

english translation

ॐ निर्मातारं चैके पुत्रादयश्च ॐ ॥ ३-२-२॥

And some (following a particular branch) consider the Self to be a creator (of things desired); and sons and others (are the objects desired).

english translation

ॐ मायामात्रं तु कार्त्स्न्येनानभिव्यक्तस्वरूपत्वात् ॐ ॥ ३-२-३॥

But the dream creation is a mere Maya, because of its nature of not being a complete manifestation of the totality of attributes (found in the wakeful state).

english translation

ॐ सूचकश्च हि श्रुतेः आचक्षते च तद्विदः ॐ ॥ ३-२-४॥

A dream is also an omen, for so it is known from the Upanishads and experts say so.

english translation

ॐ पराभिध्यानात्तु तिरोहितं ततो ह्यस्य बन्धविपर्ययौ ॐ ॥ ३-२-५॥

From the meditation on the supreme Lord, however, becomes manifest that which remains obscured; because the soul’s bondage and freedom are derived from Him.
