 Do Dreams Prophesize Your Future? 

SUMMARY: Dreams reflect a higher reality.  But only when we lead meaningful lives do we experience those higher truths.  Joseph was an evolved soul. Hence his dreams prophetically foretold his leadership of the Jewish people.

Notes:
• Teenagers spend a lot of time dreamily – dreaming about their life, future, and circumstances.  But when the teenager is Joseph, the dreams are prophetic.  He dreams a future where he will be a leader of the Jewish people.  It is not a dream of fantasy – but a dream of prophecy.
• What is a dream?  In sleep, our soul momentarily separates from the body, not completely, but sufficiently to allow us a semi- conscious experience of a higher state. In dream-state the higher reality is distorted. As the Talmud states: 1/60th of dreams is true prophecy – in all of us.
• Most dreams are basically senseless and meaningless. But from time to time we sense something higher about the dream and listen to it more intently.
• But the preparation for a meaningful dream is to lead a meaningful life, because dreams basically reflect our life experiences. Live flippantly and the dream will be superficial and flippant.
• Joseph, albeit at a tender age, was already a highly evolved human being, with very special middot and a high soul. He became one of the greats of Jewish history. He dreamed his brothers would bow down to him.  They may have resented this but when the future unfolded, the dream held true.
• May all your good dreams reflect a wonderful life.
