5263. 'Pharaoh's dream, it is one' means that a similar situation existed in both parts, which was foreseen. This is clear from the meaning of' dream' as that which was foreseen, dealt with in 3698, 5091, 5092, 5104, 5237; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the natural, dealt with in 5079, 5080, 5095, 5160; and from the meaning of 'it is one here as a similar situation existing in both parts - in the interior natural and in the exterior natural. For the natural has two parts, see 5118, 5126. What Pharaoh dreamed about involving the cows was a foresight regarding the interior natural, and what he dreamed about involving the heads of grain was a foresight regarding the exterior natural; and since both parts of the natural must act as a single unit through their existing joined together, a similar situation in both parts is meant.
