The correct interpretation of the pharaoh’s dream that Joseph interpreted is that Egypt was going to have to store food to prepare for the coming famine. In the biblical account found in Genesis 41, Pharaoh dreams of seven fat cows and seven thin cows, and also seven healthy ears of grain and seven thin ears. Joseph interprets these dreams as a warning that there will be seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine, and he advises Pharaoh to store surplus grain during the years of plenty to prepare for the upcoming famine.
