'Abdu'l-Baha talks at great length about dreams in "Some Answered
Questions". I'm sure that someone will post the appropriate
quotations. If no one does in the next few days, I'll compile it for
you. Your dream is very personal, and I thank you for sharing it. It
may be that your heart and spirt are trying to tell your intellect
something very important.

As to your second question about how one comes about understanding the
Station of Baha'u'llah and accepting it. That is a very personal
activity. I have found for many people that it can only come from
reading the Writings of Baha'u'llah, directly and by studying His
life. All of the "proofs" that individuals can come up may contribute
to an intellectual acceptance of His Station, but, I have always found
that it is his Revealation, Itself, which, alone, has the ability to
affect the heart.
