This song is actually not from the Moody Blues, but from the Blue Jays who had as their band leaders Justin Hayward and John Lodge of the Moody Blues.
I love this song! It is one of my all time favorites. And I think the lyrics can only make complete sense when you view them as a conversation between two individuals - one person who had the dream, and the other 'person' who was in his dream. I will also go on to speculate that since John Lodge is a Born Again Christian, I believe the 'person' whom the dreamer dreamed about was God. And it is God who is answering him in his dream. As the lyrics are written and subdivided by verse, it is not obvious when one is speaking to the other and visa versa. But with that perspective on the tune's lyrics, the song makes perfect sense to me.
