Isaiah 14:13 ``I will ascend on high;'' from a John Gill commentary suggests your reference is that of becoming a deity. As a set-up, i.e., "I sat on high..." made immediately and continuously transcends the nature of the first deity to the female deity that dominates much of the rest of the poem. The poem suggests the engulfment of the “Anima” archetype. I make gracious deference to milo, as I agree with the author’s “feelings” that, "on high" to is an excellent choice given the transition of somnium's character from "on high," in order to remain equal in symbolic stature to his "G"oddess without needing any further inference to his character as he has placed himself "on high." This illusion, albeit, unconscious, perhaps, offers a perfect transition to the "G"oddess being of supreme attributes, yet the main character reining, as her creator, by virtue of his dreaming her.
As for the remark that the, "expression came to mind and felt right," not only could be, but is a very good thing. Trusting your own feelings is good for anyone writing their own poetry.
‘The word sundered, which means to split apart, break up is another excellent choice of words as it indicates the disillusion of his dream, as “love’s waters had turned into drought.”
