What was that dream? He saw seven fat cows and seven ripe stalks; then came seven lean cows and seven dried-up stalks. He saw that the lean cows and dried-up stalks swallowed the fat cows and consumed the ripe stalks. That was his dream. Reb Noson explains that this is the dream of the evil person, Pharaoh. Many times, we find blessing in our lives (seven indicating many times). We are happy, we are content, we are upbeat in our outlook on life. Along comes Pharaoh. Along come challenges, frustrations, difficulties. We become despondent, angered, and frustrated, to the point that everything seems lost. So much so that we completely forget we did have good times! Times that are "swallowed up" by the challenges we face. This is Pharaoh's dream: to make us forget that there were good times. To conceal the fact that there are always ups and downs in life. He wants us to never remember that there was, is, and will be good times. The solution to Pharaoh's dream is Yosef, who advises, "Store from your good times and remember to keep them foremost in your mind. Then, when the difficult moments arrive, you will remember that there was good, and it will pass." How? Because you've stored in your mind that there was good and there will be good times to come. The powers of Pharaoh, of evil, want a person to linger in despair with no hope of ever seeing good. "Swallowed up," as it were. On the other hand, Yosef, the tzaddik, encourages people to believe that good does exist and that we can emerge from the lean times into salvation.
