Two dream books have survived from ancient Egypt. They provide us with a glimpse of the mindset that Joseph encountered in Egypt. People were eager to understand the meaning of dreams, and anyone who could help in this task would have been held in high esteem. The questions that follow are selections from one of these dream books. For each, try to match the meaning with the dream.

As you will see, the logic of these simple associations can be difficult to predict. Someone like Joseph, who was able to accurately disentangle complex visions, would have had considerable political advantages.
