Or HaChaim on Genesis 37:11/אור החיים על בראשית ל״ז:י״א

אוַיְקַנְאוּ בוֹ אֶחָיו. בַּחֲלוֹם זֶה הֵסִירוּ הַסָּפֵק שֶׁהָיָה לָהֶם בַּחֲלוֹם רִאשׁוֹן, שֶׁבָּא הַחֲלוֹם לְסִבַּת מַחְשְׁבוֹתָיו, כִּי וַדַּאי שֶׁלֹּא חָשַׁב וְלֹא עָלָה עַל דַּעְתּוֹ לְהִשְׂתָּרֵר עַל אָבִיו, וְאֵין זֶה אֶלָּא הוֹדָעַת דָּבָר מֵהַשָּׁמַיִם, וְלָזֶה נִכְנְסָה בָּהֶם קִנְאָה.
1 ויקנאו בו אחיו, His brothers were jealous of him. When the brothers had heard this second dream they backtracked from accusing Joseph of wanting to be a ruler over all of them; they agreed that Joseph could not have aspired to rule over his own father. The very fact that he had such a dream, however, indicated that he had received a message from heaven. They were jealous of Joseph having received that communication.
