What does Genesis 41:15 mean?

Joseph is the favorite son of Jacob (Genesis 37:3), hated by his brothers for that status as well as his grandiose dreams (Genesis 37:8). His brothers arranged to sell Joseph into slavery, where he served in the house of an Egyptian (Genesis 37:36). This led to imprisonment on a false charge (Genesis 39:19–20). Two years later after being freed, one of Joseph's fellow prisoners mentions that he met a man who could interpret dreams (Genesis 40:3; 41:1). This was in response to the Egyptian king's inability to understand a pair of ominous visions (Genesis 41:8–13).

With no warning, Joseph has been quickly brought from prison, shaved according to Egyptian social customs, dressed, and placed before the Pharaoh of Egypt. Now he learns why. Pharaoh has heard of Joseph's ability to interpret dreams, and he wants someone to interpret his (Genesis 41:14).
