Dreams: all about perspective

[Daniel Levy]

There are 3 sets of dreams in the story of Yosef. For Yosef’s 2 dreams, and the שַׂר הַמַּשְׁקִים & the שַׂר הָאוֹפִים’s, the Torah does not describe the dream itself – it relates only the dreamer’s description of his dream to others. Only for Paroh’s dreams does the Torah relate the dream itself, exactly as it is being dreamed.

 

Why is there this difference?

 

Probably relatedly, why does the Torah go back and repeat both dreams of Par’oh when he is describing it to Yosef?
