What is the meaning of "Emar Chelma l'Avdach u'Fishra Nechavei"?
Malbim: They said, we cannot know what you thought, but we can know the interpretation (a good or bad decree) without the dream, via astrology or witchcraft. The decree is clothed in a vision that depends on the dreamer's imagination. E.g. death of the king can be portrayed via cutting a great tree, a mountain falling, or death of an awesome beast. They suggested 'tell others the dream, and we will give the interpretation without hearing it.'
