Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bəḥezwê rēšî {בְחֶזְוֵי רֵאשִׁי | bəḥezwê rēšî} ‘in the visions of my head’ places the experience internally, in the dreamer’s mind, and the following phrase ʿal-miškəḇî {עַל־מִשְׁכְּבִי | ʿal-miškəḇî} ‘upon my bed’ locates him physically, creating a contrast between inner revelation and outward rest.
In context — Daniel 4:13
I was looking in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher , a holy one, came down from heaven.
