Mount Sinai is where dreams come true

It's interesting. when you think about the #Israelites journey to Mount Sinai & #Yoseph being sold 5 times by his brothers laying the groundwork. (The fifth sale occurred when the Egyptians sold him to #Potiphar Genesis Rabbah 84:22). In #parsha #Vayeshev Yoseph was sold into slavery because his "dreams" invoked jealousy from his brothers. Gen 28:12 says;"And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!"... This pasuk is referencing Yoseph’s father #Jacob having a transformational "dream"; leading to him to changing his name to Israel. In parsha #Miketz it was Yoseph ability to decode the Pharaohs "dreams" that eventually lead him to his greatness/destiny . Generations later #Moshe comes on the scene in Egypt asking the Israelites to "dream" a dream that was beyond logic; 1)the Israelites will be freed from 210 of slavery 2)they'll see God face to face. Mount Sinai metaphorically, is a manifestation of all dreams that are beyond logic being manifested on #Earth. #Metaphorically the revelation of Torah on Mount Sinai, was the complete understanding of everything complete systematic clarity of how too manifest all Dreams . Think about it this way. when you see your friends do something new and innovative (a skateboard trick, dance moves, using new technology etc) it makes it easier for you to replicate or do better.right? Arguably, the #Torah was revealed to humanity so we would have no excuses not to aspire and reach levels beyond imagination... No excuses because Gd n the Torah takes regular people and over and over and over again "lifts them" (naso) 2 levels beyond human comprehension. No excuses, not to be great or to believe in your dreams that are beyond logic!
