I like the fact that Avraham was in a deep sleep. I am going to ponder the significance of that.
Do not overlook the fact that God was in deep communication with Abraham during this sleep concerning the fate of his descendants as a result of his covenant that he was now cutting with him. Remember that Abraham was a prophet and God was speaking to him at this time as he does to all his prophets, during a sleep which he brought upon him. Abraham was not callously "snoozing it off" and oblivious to God and his surroundings, but rather he was in direct communion with God in his spirit during this time.
Peace be with you.
