'Meaning' in the Bible

He told it to his father as well as to his brothers; but his father rebuked him and said to him [in disbelief], “What is [the meaning of] this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers actually come to bow down to the ground [in respect] before you?”

The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the [two] dreams are one [and the same].
