The Interpretation of the Vision
Daniel 8:18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
This is very similar to being overcome by the Spirit. Being in the presence of heavenly beings brings this type of reaction.
Review 6 examples of deep sleep:
Adam (Gen. 2:21)
Abraham (Gen. 15:12)
Saul and his army (1 Sam. 26:12)
Israel (Isa. 29:10)
Daniel (twice, Dan. 8:18; 10:9)
Eutychus (Acts 20:9)
At the mount of transfiguration, Peter, James, and John went into a deep sleep. This is a special privilege to be in the presence of heavenly beings.
