Midrash for Genesis 41:32

וְעַ֨ל הִשָּׁנ֧וֹת הַחֲל֛וֹם אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֖ה פַּעֲמָ֑יִם כִּֽי־נָכ֤וֹן הַדָּבָר֙ מֵעִ֣ם הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים וּמְמַהֵ֥ר הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים לַעֲשֹׂתֽוֹ׃

And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)

R. Jochanan said: "Three dreams are bound to be realized: that which is dreamed in the morning; that which is dreamed by one's neighbor: and a dream which is interpreted within a dream." Some add to this "A dream that is dreamed by the same person twice": as it is written (Gen. 41, 32.) And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh.
