4083. 'That I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream' means the perception of natural good when in obscurity. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up the eyes' as thinking and also directing one's attention, dealt with in 2789, 2892, 3198, and so as perceiving; and from the meaning of 'in a dream' as being in obscurity, dealt with in 2514, 2528. The good of the natural is meant by 'Jacob'.
