On the Threshold of a Dream is the fourth studio album by The Moody Blues, released in 1969 on Deram Records. It followed the success of In Search of the Lost Chord and continued the band’s pioneering blend of progressive rock, symphonic pop, and psychedelic themes.


The album is notable for its short, interconnected tracks, dreamlike atmosphere, and philosophical lyrics exploring consciousness, time, and perception. Key tracks include Never Comes the Day, Lazy Day, Are You Sitting Comfortably, and the two‑part spoken‑word piece Have You Heard. The group’s signature Mellotron‑driven sound is central throughout.
