Timeless Portraits and Dreams is an album by pianist Geri Allen recorded in 2006 and released on the Telarc label.

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Geri Allen's musical interests prove to be quite diverse in Timeless Portraits and Dreams, delving into jazz, spirituals, sacred works and originals... While some jazz fans may prefer to hear Geri Allen in a strictly instrumental setting, they will miss out if they fail to investigate these stimulating sessions. Highly recommended".The Guardian review by John Fordham awarded the album 4 stars noting "Everything else on the album is uplifting - in the most free and least doctrinal sense".JazzTimes stated "Allen’s unique, distinctive keyboard style shines brightly throughout this recording".All About Jazz enthused "Throughout Timeless Portraits and Dreams, Allen's piano and Carter's bass keep the listener engaged. Cobb's drum work is subtle but effective. Lundy, Walden, Roney, Shirley and the Atlanta Jazz Chorus supplement the trio with great results".
