When in Bahá'í history
‘Abdu’l-Bahá used his dreams to gain insights into what He should talk about:
I have made you wait awhile, but as I was tired, I slept. While I was sleeping, I was conversing with you as though speaking at the top of my voice. Then through the effect of my own voice I awoke. As I awoke, one word was upon my lipsthe word imtiyaz ("distinction"). So I will speak to you upon that subject this morning.
