Dan Daniel, chapter Book of Daniel, chapter 2
“It's obvious to me that you're just trying to buy time!” said the king. “You can see that I can't remember the dream.2:8. It may not be that the king was already convinced that they could not tell him the dream, but that they were plotting against him by deferring the interpretation. Dreams were often understood to come at an “opportune time,” and the king may have been concerned that delay could mean he would “miss his chance.”
