Angels are messengers from God. They protect us, guide us, or carry out other heavenly tasks.
Therefore, angel dreams symbolize a greater force that is watching over us, directing us, sheltering us, or trying to show us something important, which is hidden. The important part about angel dreams, is in translating the message within, based on what is currently happening in our spiritual and physical life.
The message can be a shared joy of something divine that has happened, a blessing of good things to come, or a warning of something we should prepare for.
Interpreting Our Dream About Angels
To interpret our dream, we want to pay special attention to the angels.
- What were the angels wearing? What is the color and texture of their wings?
- What were the angels carrying?
- Is there only a single angel or multiple angels?
- Are our dream angels male or female?
- What were the actions or expressions of the angels?
What were the angels wearing
The color and material of the angel’s clothes and wings, are part of the message that they convey.
- White clothes and wings indicate purity, peace, blessings, and rejuvenation. We may be at peace with ourselves and our life. Alternatively, the white angels may be telling us that to achieve inner peace, we need to seek greater spiritual support, need to be cleansed, and need to focus on the purity of our actions.
- Colorful clothes and wings suggest playfulness and joy. We may be looking forward to something happy and hopeful in our future, which could be a new relationship, new job, promotion, inheritance, or some other good fortune.
- Black clothes and wings signal a warning of some kind. Our physical or spiritual well-being could be in danger, we could be burdened by sin or guilt, and we may need to take some action to heal ourselves.
What were the angels holding
The items held by the angels or carried on their person, will also have great significance. We want to examine each object carefully, explore what each of them symbolizes, as well as what they each mean to us.
- Objects of knowledge such as a book or scroll, indicates greater clarity for the future, and confidence in our actions.
- Objects of war such as a sword or staff, signals that we may be experiencing some inner turmoil in our life or some disturbance in our soul. We may need to do battle to regain our spiritual equilibrium.
- Objects of love and peace such as an olive brand or a dove implies hope, care, devotion, and self-sacrifice. We may have a difficult journey ahead of us, but we have faith in a brighter future.
- Food and drink suggests that we are in need of spiritual nourishment. We may be feeling depleted and tired as a result of our daily struggles. The angel may be telling us that we need to take some time for ourselves, and refocus on our inner self and spiritual well-being.
Number of angels
- A single angel indicates a purity of purpose and action. We need to cast off distractions, and focus on the thing that is most important to us.
- Three angels signals harmony, completeness, and the divine. Indeed, the triad or trinity is a powerful symbol with deep roots in culture and history. In Greek mythology there are three Fates, the triad also plays a central role in Celtic religion, and of course, there is the Holy Trinity. Therefore, a message carried by three angels is very potent, and may involve all of our body, mind and spirit.
- Multiple angels suggest good fortune, divine support, or spiritual fortitude. Angels guard and guide us. Therefore, having multiple angels watching over us, is a sign of great protection, and also an indication of a promising future.
If we are one of the angels in our dream, then likely, we have done something good and pure, we are planning to embark on a journey of spirituality, or planning to do God’s work.
Male or female angels
- Femininity is associated with the Venus symbol, which captures love, beauty, prosperity, and fertility.
- Masculinity is associated with the Mars symbol, which captures war, savagery, guardianship, and virility.
The masculinity or femininity of the angels in our dreams, also constitutes part of the message that they carry.
Actions, expressions, and environment
Finally, actions and expressions are also important. What did the faces of the angels convey, and how did we feel in their presence?
- A calm expression indicates that we are looking for some peace and quiet. Our life may be hectic at the moment, and we may need some protection from our daily noise and activity. We may be seeking sanctuary, some time for reflection, or spiritual comfort.
- A happy expression signals that we are feeling confident about our present and future. It may also signify a recent positive achievement, or the expectation of some imminent good news.
- A sad expression suggests future challenges and possibly heartache. However, we have a guardian angel watching over us, so we will ultimately prevail.
- An angry expression implies some mistake, wrong-doing, or sin. We need to admit our mistake, make amends, and try to do better in the future.
Similarly, the actions of our dream angels also carry meaning. An angel that is brandishing a sword in warning, will have a different message than one who is handing us his sword, or one who is standing still, with his sword pointed to the ground.
If we are being handed something, then we may need to perform an important task, or go on a quest for our spiritual well being. The nature of the task or quest will rely on the object handed to us. On the other hand, an angel standing with his sword pointed down, may be guarding us from something. Perhaps we need to be vigilant, check our spiritual defenses, and watch out for sinful temptations that may lead us astray.
Actions may also indicate immediacy of the message, in particular, whether we need to attend to it very soon, sometime in the near future, or NOW!
The environment surrounding our angel is also important. An angel standing in the middle of a storm, signifies spiritual turbulence, whereas one who is standing in a calm pool of water, signifies peace and relaxation.
Are Dream Angels Real?
When we dream of angels, there is always the question of whether the angels are real and sent by God, or whether they are a manifestation of our subconscious mind.
Studies show that a large percentage of Americans believe in angels.
- A poll in 2008 by the Baylor University Institute for Studies of Religion, shows that 55% of 1700 respondents, believe that they were protected from harm by a guardian angel.
- A 2007 Pew poll revealed that a whopping 68% of respondents believe that angels or demons are active in our world. Up to 20% describe encounters with either a heavenly or demonic being.
However, some argue that angel dreams and visitations are the result of our subconscious mind only. They further propose that visitations that occur during the day could be the result of lucid dreaming. It could also be the result of a hallucination or trance.
Are angels real?
As with all things spiritual, that is difficult to prove or fully disprove. The belief in angels, I think, is a very personal thing.
However, if through belief we gain hope, solace, and spiritual strength, then isn’t that the very purpose of an angelic guide and protector? And if so, then perhaps angels exist within us, if we but dare to see.
I had a dream of an Angel flying in the sky wearing all white with a glow around it. I woke up immediately and Heard that was an Angel in my head. There’s no mention if one is flying in the sky.
I had my only Daughter Murdered last year she was pregnant we saved the baby but Unfortunately my daughter was shot 3 times 1 to the back of the head walking into her own house she was 5 steps and would of been in the door. The Detective says they have no leads I’ve been trying to figure out who how why I even had a Physcic tell me 2 names from my daughter and they were the first 2 that her dad said he thought it was. But I can’t go to the cops with a physcic info.
Not all are believers. But I finally just said God I out it in your hands so I prayed about it and forget it and just believe God will give me Justice.
My current realionship ship is Violent and verbally abusive and really thinking of leaving him.
I just want to know what the Meaning is Of an Angel flying glowing.
Wow what an amazing dream! That angel could have been your daughter visiting you and letting you know that she is safe and well, and that she is with you and the baby. And I’m sure this angel is going to help you and give you the strength that you need to leave this situation. Pray and ask for the name of that angel that appeared to you. I bet you will get the name. Don’t let that dream slip away, pray to God and that angel everyday and night ask for the name please! Also ask for the strength and help to leave. Then you can always refer to that angel by name. You can do this ! You will change your life for the better. You need to move far from this neighborhood. Start a new life! You have spirit helping you now, and you need to be strong and stop the vicious cycle of accepting this type of life Especially to show and be a great role model for your grandchild! Go mama! You can do it! Xo
I had a dream that an angel in golden color appeared to a congregation where I was but am the only one who managed to touch the Angel. And immediately I received supernatural powers, the Angel disappeared, i developed wings and flew. Thereafter I met some two possessed people in the trees who tried cutting me but the powers around me couldn’t allow their knives to reach me. I ended up praying for them and the evil spirits were going away as they were asking me where they should go to. I directed them to the desert.
I had a dream that i was in an awkward position and i had angel wings formed from like an yellowish energy light that turned into white wings. Then i was outside the school with my kids and other on lookers as i was floating in pain where wings turned black and my eyes from white to red and when pain disappeared the wings on my back where white again but the feathers on the edge where black. What does this mean?
I had a dream just last week that I was chatting with a numbers of angels, but after some time the angels realised that not all of them are from God and that some were from the devil so they angels of God started fighting the one from the devil to protect and I was also praying behind them while they were fighting what does that mean and rem they were all men and in human nature.
Wow interesting! Do you know how many good angels there were? Could they have been the 7 Arch Angels? The Arch Angels are all men. I think the dream was something in your life where you are fighting a demon. Some issue or person in your life, or a battle. Have you prayed or asked or wished for something to stop or ease up? If so they are here for you to receive your wish.
Let me know what happens!
I have a dream where I was taking my partner for a walk though the weather was faint and some boys was passing us by, and my partner became scared and ran out from me returning back from where we come from so I ran after him searching for him I couldn’t see him ,, so while wandering in search of him multiple little female angel appeared all was on white except one was on red, so they where laughing, what came out my mouth was angel please do u see him, and the biggest one among them point at a place where I looked but didn’t see him, I pleaded again that she should please show me where he is and she finally pointed him to me that was when I see him, he was looking at me with surprise so I ask him to forgive me that I mean no harm, out of love he came and hug me and I woke up immediately, please what does this dream mean
I had a dream recently about crashing ships in dark water. With a cloudy sky in the dream after the ships crashed a man rose out of the water with long blonde hair that looked beaten then God made him an angel and gave him a staff and told him he could do good or bad with it if he chose to do bad that he would parish mortal.

Was also like a warm glow or aurora all around me
Hello Pete my name is Jodi. My story relates to yours. Me and my partner have been together for 9 years and we want to get married but we don’t know what’s stopping us. We’ve been arguing and have disagreements. I love him and he loves me god gave us a daughter and a son which I am truly greatful for and very blessed to have them these kids have change my life in so many ways. I am a deeply believer in god and pray when I need him and ask questions and I always get answers. Me and my partner are taking a break it’s been 3 days. I’ve been mad about him always wanting to leave and also wanting to spend time to do family things but we’re both at faults. Meaning my kids are always asking there dad to do things but he pushed them away and makes broken promises. The lord has blessed us with another child when we found out we were so happy about the lord giving us another chance to have to do this right. I’ve lost 2 babies because of our actions. And we’ll cut it short here, this past week since Jesus died on the cross Friday I’ve been think about why and thanked him so much about doing what he did just for us all to be here and have what we have. I tried to get my kids baptized but my boyfriend didn’t want it to happen till everyone is here. And wants to do it right and wants them to be baptized by the Mormons which I don’t want. I want my kids to be baptized by people I know and from our home towns church. I’ve invited all the people who I could think of my family his family but I know everyone has there own beliefs but to me there is only one god. To me there is only one god and we all pray to him even tho he symbolizes in different clothing and how he looks. Last night I have a dream about so many angels standing in front of me choring and blowing trumpets and I felt peace happiness and love. I wasn’t scared my chest wasn’t filled with fear and anger like how I was a few days ago. My boyfriend called me a devil and I just thought why would he say such a thing to me when I know where my heart belongs. That got me thinking and talking to myself asking if god can send me sign and told him I’m still here nobody can tell me that I am that. I got mad I cried and second guessed myself that maybe he’s right but then I had that dream and now I feel peace I feel like myself again. I doubted myself for so long I thought everyone was leaving me and forgot about me but my kids stayed by my side to comfort me and keep me busy and the lord never left….maybe you can ask her about her feelings about herself and how is her life cause if we’re ok maybe they ain’t and we can’t give up on the ones we love cause god gave us strength love and forgiveness happiness and so much more. But I know what to do I know I can’t give up on my boyfriend i know I have to be calm and supportive towards him. Cause inside I know I love him with all my heart nothing can break that. We are 20 years apart but I know when we get to heaven the lord has plans and love. And for me I’m afraid of losing my baby so I’m taking steps to become a brighter person Iam helping kids at school learn which I never thought I could do I am raising my two kids to be happy and well beings and to respect Mother Earth. But now I need to focus on my boyfriend he needs my help. And for you to have a blessed day with your wife and may god bring happiness and fulfillment to your marriage. God bless you and your whole family. Peace!
I really don’t know about angel or I never think about it but yesterday I had a dream that multiple little angels ( looks like toddlers angels) circled with happy face and protecting me and wore light blue color cloths
I was waking from a dream, I didn’t see the angels but they were singing. I think I was singing with them. The last word sung was what I heard.. It sounded like con-something. It seemed to convey absolution, cleansed., joy and many other meanings. It was a pure word and all these descriptions pale to the actual meaning. I want to know the meaning behind this. I actually felt very good after hearing it.
So random but I just woke up from a dream. It was a normal day then a storm happened me and my friend we’re driving then two tornadoes appeared you knowing me I’ma try to outrun this thing . Well eventually It was on each end of the road but one kept spiraling back up and down so I timed it and tried to drive through at that point the car dissapeared my body lifted up with my arms stretched up like a cross and then there was a big blast of flames then an angel appeared to me and said Johnathan Jesus has came to you several times and still you kept turning him away . Then I woke right up. I’ve never had a dream about good or angels I’ve just had scary dreams in my life. But never one about an angel I have made crazy poor decisions in my life and I know this. Plus I’ve been in a fight with myself for past 8 years if God is real and I’ve so I thought came to terms that I don’t believe it’s real. But I feel ashamed when in a fight with my parents and they bring good up and I boldy say I don’t care I don’t believe. Like I have lil tears in my eyes right now cause I can’t come to terms of what this dream really is . Cause it’s not a normal dream. My mom said my uncle before he had a heart attack he had something like that happen . And just has me shook up.
Your dream is a wake up call Gods tried to get you to see believe and take a first step he loves you and wants you to to believe I myself am a Christian and don’t think you have to dive right in take it slow go to church.
Wow! So you should believe in him now! He’s sending messengers to tell you straight up! If you have made bad decisions I’m sure he is trying to help you and protect you. But we have to want the help, and then when you pray for guidance and to make the right decisions and to better your life, it will happen! Just believe, pray, ask for it, and you will see it happen. You don’t always have to go to church, you can pray at home every night or morning or both. You can also have conversations with God while driving, showering, or just walking and talking in your head. Please try it, you will be amazed! God bless!
nice site sr..
In 2017 I started having dreams and they would happen and not long after that I started having those dreams I’m sorry to having Vivid detailed dreams that confuse me. I grew up in a First Assembly of God Church always been a believer but these dreams that I had confuse me the first thing that I had where’s the night before I went to sleep I had. For a sign or anyting to let me know if I was on the right path that night I had a dream and I was in a beautiful place words couldn’t describe where was that it was just very beautiful I was walking up 6 steps and there was exotic animals mythical creatures all around and this is very colorful miss beautiful there is was a lizard crawling in the path I try to reach down I pet it and it froze so I kept on walking up stairs are the steps and it led me 2 water and for some reason I leaned my ear to the water and something swam up and whispered in my ear “mother Mary wants me to let u know that your doing great keep up the good work” and then I woke up very confused.
Omg!, what a beautiful dream! What are you confused about? You received your answer. You most certainly are on the right path. In addition, you are going through a spiritual ascension getting to a higher level of spiritual knowledge. The reptile appearing in dream is significant of this. Wow this is such a beautiful dream! You are blessed keep going on this path. No need to question, all the spirits up above are with you on your journey. Love and peace!
My Fiancee had a dream and she was in the the middle of a circle of angels like she was being protected and to my surprise I was one of the angels but with a lot of difference.. like i had long hair and it was white.. I was holding a sword and in a spartan like outfit and I had wings as she said.. the setting was like a war and she was being protected by me and a group of angels with an old man that is all white and like a hermit. To my surprise also I had the same dream but it was years before I met her.. on my dream I was protecting someone dear to me.. fighting with huge monster like beasts.. surrounded with a lot of em.. It all felt so real when I had that dream.. when I woke up.. I can still feel the tight grip on my hands like holding a sword and on my back was like you have a feeling you have wings..
I do not have normal dreams since I can remember.. every dream I had up until now happens in real life..
Can anyone enlighten me.. weird part about this is I always see the number 6 in single or multiple 6 66 666 6666 66666 and so on..
I am very confused to what is going on in my life..
thank you.
Wow nice dreams! I feel this dream was a glimpse of a past life that you and fiancée had together. The 6’s are the demon(s) that we’re plaguing your fiancée and the same demon that you were fighting to protect her. In past life you two fell in love while you were protecting her. And you came to meet and be together in this life. You two were meant to be together. You are spiritually gifted in this life, your dreams are psychic and you should tap into this more. Pray and ask God and the 7 Arch Angels to guide you on your spiritual path and also on your life path and you shall receive the guidance and any answers to your questions. It’s funny how you chose the name “ Jaded light”. Bc as you were an Arch angel in a past life, you had an experience with the dark side. And when people ascend higher in their spiritual wisdom they are aware of the dark and the light. They can see the “seen and unseen”. The veil is lifted. Nice powerful dream! Peace and love!
For those of us who dreamt about angels and heaven and yet we are not religious, what is It really telling us, is it that we are the chosen one. I am just curious and I seriously want to know.
I have thrice dreamt about an angel but the last one that got me amused. We were all gathered in a field and then the angel of god came down from heaven ,his wings and his gown were all white and he was holding a sword. I think I really do not remembered What the angel of God said but I remembered a guy challenged him and went against him and then the angel brought out his sword and strike him by cutting him into two. But why am confused here is that guy happen to be the guy am crushing on here on earth wishing he could just talk to me. So I just want to understand what the angel is saying to me..
You should stay away from him.
Is archaengel Michael!!! He came to protect you from someone who is in yr life charming but evil. It could be friend or lover ….good luck!
i have had 3 dreams of gabriel …the first many years ago i was standing at a bus stop and this man was beside me dressed in a long coat he told me everything was going to be allright and he gave me a hug he was so lovely striking eyes and blonde hair ….the second was 2 nights ago i was in what seemed a white space and a man was sitting with his back to me there was a gentle breeze i walked closer to him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders and a voice said this is where you belong your an angel the next night same white space he was standing in front of me i walked up to him and he said everything is how it should be dont be afraid this is how it happens …and that was it i woke up and remembered every detail and felt both sad and happy at the same time what is confusing to me is that im not religious never have been but i consider myself a good person im also autistic so im very logical but i cannot work this all out x

I had a dream when I was a little girl and it was about the world ended everything was on fire and everything was burned after everyone died everyone was in a huge big large line with there family but the thing was that everyone was in hell and in one side there was god with two angles beside him and on the other side was the devil with his two little like creatures things and slowly the line of people moved there was a fire hole right in front of the person the fire hole had dean burning people grabbing the person that was in front of the fire hole those burning dead people were the people that went to hell for not believing in god but the line continued to move there was some people that were crying but not god told every person if they believed in him and if you said yes then god would send there bright angles to come get you so you could go to heaven and if you did not believe in god then you would fall down the fire hole like the other people who said no when it was my family’s turn all of them said yes and the two angles took them up to heaven and when I was the last one I was scared and when god told me “do you believe in me” I stayed quiet for a few minutes and while it was silent I was just staring at the fire hole with a scared face and in my head I was just repeating to myself “I do believe in you” I was telling god that and I think god knew what I was saying in my head because he was talking to his angles and his and his two bright angles kept looking at me and when they looked at me I looked at them and they just smiled when I think I was going to say yes but before I could say yes to god I woke up from my dream and then when I woke up I was just confused.
I had a dream where i was surrounded by little demonic dog looking creatures with bodies of dogs, necks like snakes, and heads like goats but with teeth like a lions and had red eyes and they were all trying to bite my feet but everytime they would strike it would be like they are hitting a barrier and i saw a man appear in front of me dressed in all white, had a big smile on his face, and had a dove on his shoulder and I became frightened and asked who he was and he said “do not be afraid, for i am here to protect you and comfort you!” Then he swept away all the creatures trying to bite me and they disappeared. then i hugged him and cried on his shoulder because of the fear that was still going through me and he calmly comforted me and said that i am alright and that he will make sure no one harms me and that God will always protect me from evil and he said that one day i will not be afraid or cry anymore. When i woke up from the dream i felt a sensation of comfort and that someone was in the room watching over me then i fell back asleep with a great big grin on my face thanking God for watching over me and sending his angels to peotect me from harm or anything evil.
My friend had a dream that I took her to a house in the middle of nowhere and I had 5 children with me. She saw me happy laughing and I was wearing a red dress and I had black tipped feathers what does that mean
