Usage: The term "challamuth" refers to a dream or vision experienced during sleep. In the Hebrew Bible, dreams are often seen as a means through which God communicates with individuals, providing guidance, warnings, or revelations. Dreams can be symbolic and require interpretation, as seen in the narratives of Joseph and Daniel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, dreams were considered significant and often believed to be messages from the divine realm. The interpretation of dreams was a respected practice, and individuals like Joseph and Daniel were esteemed for their God-given ability to understand and explain dreams. Dreams played a crucial role in decision-making and understanding divine will.

It is doubtful whether Dillmann's reason for preferring purslain to ᵑ9 חֶלְמוֺנָא yolk of egg (׳רִיר ח slime of yolk, i.e. the white of the egg) is convincing, namely, that ancient Hebrews did not keep hens, or that of Delitzsch, namely that white of egg is not slime, and is not unpalatable; meaning yolk preferred also by Da Bu Du.
