We are living in a physical world that nonetheless has a spiritual reality to it (represented by God-given dreams in this instance). The astrologers and magicians are told to tell the king not only what the dream means, but what the dream was: and getting it wrong is the death penalty: high stakes! But only God can reveal ultimate truth. Application: How do we keep the spiritual in mind in such a pressing physical world? How do we avail ourselves of God’s truth. How can we cultivate a life of intelligence/wisdom/prayer/gratitude?
