Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, dreams were often considered messages from the divine, requiring skilled individuals to interpret them. The role of a dream interpreter was significant, as it was believed that understanding these messages could influence decisions and actions. In the biblical context, figures like Joseph and Daniel were renowned for their God-given ability to interpret dreams, which played crucial roles in their narratives and the unfolding of God's plans.
