When God communicates with us: Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more

The story of Joseph in the Book of Genesis is a good teaching of how the Lord communicates with men to show his mysterious design. Joseph was from his birth a person full of the fear of God (constancy, firmness, devotion), and for this spiritual gift, God also gave Joseph the ability to guess dreams and read thoughts, an ability that, as the Bible tells, he had from a very young age.
God is eternal, that is, eternity is one of his attributes, in God is all the time, past, present, and future, and from eternity God predestines men. The Bible tells us how God symbolically communicated his destiny to Joseph through dreams. And Joseph innocently opened his heart to his brothers and told them his dreams, but his brothers in front of this mystery, due to the hardness of their hearts, did not understand this truth and that is why the Bible tells us that they hated him.
This is how the Bible tells us how Joseph from a young age showed his ability to receive dreams from God:
"Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. He said to them, ´Listen to this dream I had: We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.´
His brothers said to him, ´Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us? And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said" Genesis 37:5-8.
In general, dreams appear to the reason in a confused way; dreams can mean something or mean nothing at all, if we are not inspired by God dreams can become a double-edged sword: "Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God" Ecclesiastes 5:7; and the ability to interpret them correctly is truly a spiritual gift from God, dreams are closely related to intuition.
