Genesis 37

Listen to this dream I had

Listen… I had another dream

(Vs6,9)

The telling of a dream is using sound to invoke image. The dreams themselves have no sound. No speech, no other sound. But it is through sound we know of Joseph’s dreams. The telling of dreams and their interpretation becomes core to the Joseph story. Here sound is used to bring out what is deep within the person.
