Dreaming

Genesis 40:4-5 - The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them.

After they had been in custody for some time, each of the two men—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison—had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.

Some (most? all?) who study sleeping and dreams will tell you that you dream every night, even if you don't remember the dream(s) upon waking. Even if they're only half right and we dream half of the times we sleep, that's still a lot of dreaming.

So it doesn't seem likely that the cupbearer and the baker each only had one dream while in prison. Maybe this is the first one they could remember.

Did those men seek out an interpreter every time they woke and remembered a dream? Seems unlikely. If not, when did they seek an interpreter? What made a dream significant enough to warrant interpretation?

What made them so sad about not having an interpreter available? And apparently interpreters were available elsewhere. Hm, maybe they really did go to one after every remembered dream. Did interpreters charge a fee? Did some make a living from dream interpretation? Probably.

Did the two men attach any significance to the fact that they each remembered a dream the same day?
