The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. The repetition of the forgotten abundance is the emphasis of the dream's most theologically significant element: the severity of the coming famine is such that the preceding abundance will leave no comfort. The application: the warning that repeats its most alarming element is the warning that takes the threat seriously and expects the hearer to do the same.
