Exploring the Hidden Meaning of Dreams at the Knoxville Bahá’í Center

Are our dreams simply random flickers of memory and emotion—or could they reveal something deeper about our true nature?

Join the conversation on Saturday, June 7 from 3–5 PM at the Knoxville Bahá’í Center (1323 Hannah Ave) for a thoughtful and welcoming discussion on the spiritual significance of dreams.

This unique gathering will explore the Bahá’í Teachings and other spiritual perspectives on how dreams may offer glimpses into a higher reality. Together, we’ll consider whether our dreams could be more than just nighttime narratives—perhaps even messages pointing to our essence as spiritual beings.

✨ Open to all perspectives
✨ Thought-provoking dialogue
✨ Refreshing spiritual insights

Come connect with others in a warm and inclusive setting as we dive into what our dreams might really be telling us—not just about ourselves, but about our shared human journey. More Info
