On the Threshold of a Dream is an album by The Moody Blues released on the Polydor record label. It was released in 1969, and rereleased as a remaster in 1997. The album includes 13 tracks and has a total duration of 36:59 minutes.

Like the first two albums, On the Threshold of a Dream follows a concept. The album explores dreams, especially on the second side, which climaxes with the "Voyage" suite, inspired in part by Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra. The piece, by Mike Pinder, features mellotron orchestration and flute.

In 2006 the album was completely remastered into SACD format and repackaged with 9 extra tracks
