Show Notes

You're probably familiar with the account of Lehi's dream in the Book of Mormon. Since the Book of Mormon could be described as something that was "dreamed up" by Joseph Smith (sprinkled heavily with ripped-off content from other contemporary sources), we might aptly call Lehi's dream, "the dream within a dream". Dave and Mike discuss the symbolism in the dream and how it directly impacts core doctrines of the church, specifically with regard to how members should live their lives and view the world and people around them.
