Bestir
I saw this example on wordweb: he bestirred himself. I take it bestir is wake. We also say: He woke himself out of his dream. Can we also use bestir in its place? He bestirred himself out of a dream. He bestirred himself out of apathy.
What I am asking is: can 'out of' be used in a sentence with bestir? Bestir oneself out of 'this or that.' Is that possible?

The problem is that the word itself is old-fashioned. I only find these in use:
Bestir oneself
Bestir...to do...
There are indeed a few instances of these, also:
Bestir...out of
Bestir...in doing...
Bestir...to + location
Bestir...from
