Gen 37 begins the story of Joseph.
The meeting with Esau back in Gen 33 probably had a great impact on Joseph, he and his mother were the last to present themselves and bow down before Esau. That impression was to give Joseph insight into his dreams a few short years later as a teenager. The first dream was about the food and the second was about fealty.
Jacob kept the "matter in mind". He must have remembered the interactions he had as a younger man. Siobhan
