How did Josef know that the baking minister should be hung? There is a parable attributed to Rav Meir Shapiro. A king comissioned a painter to paint a man holding a bowl of fruit. The fruit was so life like that the birds were eating from it. The king said, yes the fruit looks real but the man does not because how is it that the birds are not afraid of him? It must be that the birds see him as dead. Similarly, the birds in the dream saw the baker as dead.
