Genesis 41:30-31,38
Genesis 41:28-32 The Message (MSG)
“The meaning is what I said earlier: God is letting Pharaoh in on what he is going to do. Seven years of plenty are on their way throughout Egypt. But on their heels will come seven years of famine, leaving no trace of the Egyptian plenty.

The fact that Pharaoh dreamed the same dream twice emphasizes God’s determination to do this and do it soon.
