The Book of Memories

Dreams At Night

Rabbi Shnayor Burton and Mikey Stone

Maimonides tells us in his Guide that not everyone who has a veridical dream is a prophet, perhaps having in mind Joseph the righteous. But if Joseph was indeed not a prophet, he nonetheless had a mastery of the dream realm, one that offended his brothers yet caused the highest members of Egyptian society to seek his counsel. Tune in this week to learn how this dreaming power relates to exile, why the other sons of Jacob rejected it, how it can be activated through proper eating, and more.
