I was innocently watching a nearly naked Donny Osmond in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and it dawned on me:  the dream that Joseph had about the sheaves of wheat bowing down to him was not a dream about how Joseph felt about himself in relationship to his brothers (as his brother all thought it was).  It was a precognitive dream about how Joseph above Pharoah does indeed rule over his brothers (his thoughts) in Egypt:

^{Genesis 37: 5} And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

⁶ And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

⁷ For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

⁸ And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.

⁹ And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

¹⁰ And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

^{Genesis 42:6} Now Joseph was governor over the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground.
