"Like everybody we'll be dreaming. If we can get one of the big boys back at the Den that would be great," he said.
"It's something we've lacked in my time at Millwall, we haven't had the fortune of the draw. We hope we get it and look forward to it because we're one game away from Wembley."
Millwall's last appearance in the last eight came in 2004, when they beat Tranmere in a replay, external and ended up reaching their only ever FA Cup final, losing 3-0 to Manchester United., external
"If there's any sort of omens we'll hang on to anything we can. If we could progress it would be fantastic," said Jackett, who has been in charge at the Den since 2007.

"The players know they're playing for a very proud club and it's not always easy when we lose a game," said boss Paul Buckle.
"It was really nice to get Wolves here and go to Norwich. But we've got to dust ourselves down. There's a realism to it.
"We're a non-league team and I want the players to start playing like non-league players.
"What that means is when you're going away to place like Dartford and Barrow you have to roll your sleeves up and do the nasty side. If we do that we've got a chance."
