in the dream
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בַּ ("in the") + masculine singular noun absolute חֲלוֹם. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֲלוֹם derives directly from the root חלם, meaning "to dream," and denotes the dream experience itself. With the prefixed בַּ (in the), masculine singular absolute form, it is faithfully rendered as "in the dream," preserving both root sense and grammatical form. |
