Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ʿal-mishkevi {עַל־מִשְׁכְּבִי | ʿal-miškəḇî} ‘upon my bed’ situates these experiences temporally and spatially in the nighttime setting, attached to “thoughts” to show where this agitation occurs.
In context — Daniel 4:5
I saw a dream , and it frightened me; and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head were terrifying me.
