che.zev denotes the dream-related sight or experience in which Daniel or a king sees events, often at night or upon a bed.

The term consistently marks dream-related sight or experience: scenes seen at night or upon a bed, including the tree, beasts, winds, and the figure coming with the clouds. It can also occur where such a reported experience is to be made known or interpreted.

    The supplied forms occur in clauses about sights seen at night or on a bed. In Daniel 4:10 the APB renders a scene of a great tree after “The visions of my head upon my bed”; in Daniel 7:2 it renders Daniel seeing four winds stir the sea, and in Daniel 7:13 it renders a nighttime scene of one like a son of man coming with the clouds. The same usage includes experiences that alarm Daniel in Daniel 7:15 and reported material whose interpretation is sought in Daniel 4:6 and Daniel 4:7.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB commonly presents the surrounding clauses with “vision” or “visions,” especially in nighttime and bed-related scenes, while other verses foreground a “dream” or its interpretation. These renderings show the verse context rather than a fixed English equivalent for each occurrence.
