I believe the deep and true revelation here is that it refers to when Jesus died.
God put Jesus into that deep sleep and out of this death, He brought the woman, the Bride of Christ.
She is that rib. Those three ribs in the mouth of the bear kindgom, which was Noah and his family, was the three sons and their wives. It means the bride who will reproduce another generation of people.
So the bride of Christ is to reproduce another generation of 'Christs', or Christians.
Jesus died that he might AWAKE the sleeping 'Lazaruses', or His true People. It is spiritual awaking and also physical awaking, at the resurrection.
Is this how you see it?
