abstract	This paper provides an outline of the importance of dreams and their interpretation in the Bahá’í Religion. After some general remarks on dreams, dreams and dream interpretation in Islam will be discussed, since they provide an archetype for the Bahá’í context. Statements on dreams by Bahá’u’lláh and 'Abdu’l-Bahá will be examined. Finally, a dream interpretation by 'Abdu’l-Bahá in Ottoman Turkish that contains significant Islamic elements, will be commented on and a provisional translation of it appended.
