LEVEL 0

LEVEL 1

LEVEL 2

“Soulish” emotion based on emotion, sentiment, and feelings. The mind of God is not usually reflected. The mind of God is revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Causes strife, always emphasizes the negative and takes away hope. Misplaced priorities—does not have the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. The dreamer acknowledges the true worthiness of the interpretation and speaks God’s wisdom into the situation.

Seeks self-interest—no respect for human life, especially the life of an enemy. Does not lead to a closer walk with God—it may cause confusion. Speaks God’s mind into the situation and gives clear, unambiguous instruction for the way forward.

Does not speak of love—drives the dreamer from God and seeks vengeance. The dreamer’s yearning is not satisfied. Bears relevance to the dreamer’s circumstances.

Leads to bondage. Creates fear and lack of faith. Always speaks of love. Leaves the dreamer with hope and builds up faith.

Interpretative attempts are not based on principles, and therefore, are unable to link a series of dreams on the same subject. May be correct symbol-derived meaning, but relevance to the dreamer’s life situation and proclamation are wrong. It is truthful—even if it’s a warning. Correctly links related series of dreams and brings appropriate exposition and proclamation.

Joseph’s Track Record of Interpretation

In the later part of life, Joseph operated at the Level 2 category. But in his younger days, he remained ignorant of the spiritual principle that public pronouncement of divine revelations should only be to bring about change in a positive way; it should never be done for self-aggrandizement. Joseph took 17 years to reach the Level 2 grade.

Joseph Interprets the Cupbearer’s and the Baker’s Dreams

THE CUPBEARER’S DREAM Genesis 40:9-11 Within three days, Pharaoh will lift your head and restore you to your position.

“I saw a vine in front of me…” A “vine” is life, for Jesus said, “I am the vine, the source of life.”“Front of me” means ahead of the dreamer.

“On the vine were three branches…” Three branches indicate three days. Perhaps the vine tree sprouts one branch per day.

“It budded, it blossomed, and its clusters ripened into grapes…” A miraculous and speedy progression of future life events that result in fruitfulness.

“Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup…” “Pharaoh’s cup”: responsibility in high places. “In my hand”: hand is the symbol for service and “my” indicates the dreamer’s service.

“Put the cup in his hand…” A restoration to former position and service.

THE BAKER’S DREAM Genesis 40:16-17 To be held responsible for, or to bear consequences for one’s actions.

“On my head were three baskets of bread…” The baskets indicate judgment. Bread is also a symbol for life, or a source of nourishment for life. Putting the two symbols together refers to judgment.

“Three baskets…” Indicates three days of baking because there were no means of preservation, thus there was a need for daily baking.

“…basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.” The birds: agents representing leadership.
