Genesis40:5

5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream , the Butler and the Baker of the King of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.

(i. e.) Not a vain and idle dream, but one that had in it a signification of future things, and needed interpretation, and the several dreams were proper and agreeable to the several events which befell them, and to the several interpretations which Ioseph put upon them, the dream and interpretation did fitly answer one to the other.
