A Dream

I am a non-Baha'i. I had the following dream the night of the 30th of
December.

I dreamed I was in a room full of men dressed in white robes (which
resembled typical middle-eastern wear). In the center of the room was a
handsome man who was preaching to the other men. The man in the center
said: 'Blessed is he who loveth himself. More blessed is he that
loveth his neighbor. Most blessed is he that loveth Him Whom God Hath
Made Manifest.' The other men in the room said to themselves 'This is a
hard saying - who can believe this?' I said to myself, 'Can this be
true? Is Baha'u'llah the Promised One?'. This dream has been haunting
me for the past two days.

Comments? What is the Baha'i position on dreams and personal
revelations? I have definite Baha'i sympathies - i.e., The world which
Baha'is want to build is the world I want my children to inherit.

Another question - how does a person come to have faith that Baha'u'llah
is who he claimed to be?

Thanks and Salam.
