TG Dream 5 - Genesis 40.

The Chief Butler's and the Chief Baker's fit into another category yet. 

The content is symbolic, but initially unintelligible.  The dream requires a divine interpretation, from a divinely gifted interpreter:

"We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.  And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God?  Tell me them, I pray you."  (v. 8)

We will call this type Type 3.

Hebrew for interpreter (poter) from a root meaning to interpret or explain.

פֹתֵר

Hebrew for interpretation (pitronim)

פִּתְרֹנִים
