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.
Earlier today I had a dream i was in my room all of a sudden I felt my self leave my body an someone was carrying me and I sunk in the floor but the person that was carrying me said i was going to be happy when I sunk in the floor i didn’t know where I was going but after I was on clouds there were gray or blue I don’t really remember what does that mean
Few days ago I had a dream that a woman angel appeared in the dark, middle of nowhere and behind her was a light beaming so bright, she called my name and asked me to come to her, with her arms reaching out to me inviting me to come her way, she just kept saying come and I just stared at her then woke up, felt so vivid, wondering what it meant?
Thank You
yesterday I had a dream and the angel flew into my house from the window kinda big wings all white and green eyes (glowing) when I saw it my mom was asleep and I couldn’t move and she or he flew into me and I woke up after that
6 yrs ago, I dreamed that Im in hell & infront of me there is a wooden hanging bridge that is very old to the point that if you step in you will fall to the cliff. The surroundings was on fire & below the cliff you can hear the spirits seeking for help to get out. They are crying & shouting for help. On the other side of the bridge there is a warrior angel with black wings. He is so calm & just observing me. Then he spoke to me in my mind. He told me to walk across the bridge. Im so scared that I might fall to the cliff or drag down by the spirits. He told me to calm down & pray. The spirits cant touch me if I have strong faith & they can only touch me if they sense my weakness. So I prayed Our Father & I Believe in GOD several times as I walk across the bridge until Im already in front of the warrior angel then he pats my head while smiling. He said”Congratulations, you passed! You may now go home” then I suddenly woke up. What does he mean? Then last year, I dreamed that Im flying. I have a companion but I cant figure it out if its a he or she. We passed through forest, wide ocean & mountains then we land to a very dry place. You cant see any living things only cracks on the ground. Then when I glance below the cliff, I saw many people that is shouting in agony. They want to go up but they cant do it because there are some men that is hitting them by whip. One of them shout. He said “You all cant get out here! You did a lot of sin while you’re still alive then you’re complaining now? Take the consequences of your action! Hahaha!” I feel pity to them but I cant do anything to help them. When I ask some help to my companion, he/she didnt respond to my request & just told me that its time for me to go home then he/she pats my shoulder then I suddenly woke up. Then a month after dreamed that scenario, I have another dream. In my dream, Im standing in front of a very big golden door. All I can see in the surroundings are white. I saw a living chain that passed through the golden door. The chain’s color was gold as well & its moving. The golden door suddenly open. All I can see is unending darkness inside the room. Im still outside the golden door & Im just observing the moving chains inside the room then suddenly I saw 1 big eye. It looks like an eye of a monster. The color of the eye is green & is just staring at me then the golden door suddenly closed. Someone pats my shoulder & told me to go home then I suddenly woke up. Until now Im confused why I dreamed of those scenarios. I already asked 2 fortune teller & 1 of them told me that its yet time for me to know the answer. Someone will explain it to me when the right time comes. She also told me that they wont allow her to tell me the answer. Its weird right? Who are them she is talking about? Can someone explain to me the meaning of these dreams?
hi can you tell me themeaning of my dream last year,

I had a dream that I was standing next to a big tree. It seemed as if I was now in an area between heaven and earth. I saw a very giant angel praying and speaking about me to God.
The other night I had a very vivid dream about my Archangel (Raphael).
(I’m a little new to the topic of Angels, I only learned I had one a couple months ago by visiting a medium in town and she told me Raphael was watching over me and guiding me. From that moment on I became fascinated with them and started praying and reading more about them, even expanding contact with other Angels like Michael and Gabriel. I haven’t had a dream of Raphael before but I have felt his presence.)
In my dream I was sitting on his lap, hugging him tightly around his neck. He was hugging me like someone would a child. In my dream I was crying and I kept repeatedly apologizing to Raphael but I don’t know why! I felt and sounded sincere in my continued apology but I don’t know if I had done something wrong or of the like…
Raphael was rubbing my back gently, telling me it was OK. Some of his exact words were: “It’s alright, Dear one. I know you’re sorry. It’s OK.” I could practically hear the smile and love in his voice when he talked to me.
Eventually, I stopped crying and relaxed and then not long after woke up. I’m confused to what it all meant. Is he trying to tell me something?
Last night I had a dream that my Archangel (Raphael) was comforting me. (Please forgive me, I’m a little new to the subject of angels. I only found out I had one a few months ago by going to a medium and having a reading. From that moment on I’ve been doing my reading on angels and praying to them and keeping my eyes peeled for signs) I’ve never had a dream of him before now.
I was sitting on his lap and he was hugging me like someone would a small child, I was crying and repeatedly telling him I was sorry (even though I didn’t know what it was I was sorry about) and he kept telling me it was ok. Some of his exact words were: “It’s ok, dear one. I know you’re sorry. It’s ok.”
Soon I stopped crying and relaxed in his embrace and woke up, puzzled to what the dream meant.
What could that mean? Is Raphael trying to tell me something?
Last night I had a dream in which I was outisde at 12:13 am. An angel in a white tanktop and dress was running collecting applications for Heaven. I called her and she said hi, very nice, no one I knew though. I was hoping this visit would allow her to pick my application to Heaven.
I’ve been having dreams since being a teen. They’re getting loud and more frequent. I need help. No.. I’m not crazy. I think my guardian is Uriel. Or so I’ve been told. I literally woke up to my boyfriend rubbing my back, I was jokingly arguing with Samuel. Please.. can someone get back to me with this.. I have had a real dream of Jesus. I can tell you hands down was real. I need to talk an no, not to a shrink.
In my dream I’m trying to help Angeles to fulfill a task. Ones I had I was carried away to safety, I just remember it seam like I seen more color of pink. Can anyone tell me what’s behind the dream.
I feel you I had a dream when I was the angel helping a young man atleast 19 and I was 15 even though I am younger I wore a white robe with wide white wings with golden eyes it scared me but help the teenager during this I felt a connection to the boy and I felt like I was an angel but was alive not deceased I was lo I’ve but with angel features and I actually was mumbling in my sleep, angels protect which scared my friends science it happened in a sleepover I then had the same dream for a month sometimes I still have the dream
Last night I had this dream. I was riding a bus with my mom and brother and some of my friends. Suddenly I disappear from my seat and I ended up in a place where when people die before the 2nd coming of Jesus. I was in a car and my dad was riding it. When we came to a stop we where in a city or town. Also there was this thing like an airline thing when you look at it, it tells the time your airplane is leaving. So there instead of when your airplane is leaving it was only dates. It turns out that it was a time machine. I asked my dad if we could go on it and he said no because only the people who live there can only use it. I appeared back in the bus. But then I decided to back to the place. Now lived in that place. We went to get some food and then my friends appeared in front of me. I told them that they could not be here because I was scared that some angels would know that they are here. She did not say a word, she just disappeared… that was weird if that was not enough I am only 11 years old.
I dreamed of a face in the sky that kept following me everywhere I went I not sure of it was an angel is was just a big face
Wow, I had a dream around the same time that you did. There were a bunch of angels dressed in white and I saw some of their faces. They looked so pretty with blue eyes.
I had a dream of a angel she was a lil girl she had blind hair, in a white dress with black eyes and black wings. She didn’t say anything in the dream but just looked at me. In the dream I was with my sister looking at a house and some how I walked away from her I heard kids playing but no kids were in sight as we pulled up to the house. I opened the door and there she was looking at me I turned away for a second and looked back she was gone. I closed the door she was at the top of the stairs the disappeared. I woke up. I have no idea as to what that dream ment as to she didn’t say anything to me.
I had a dream that I became friends with a little girl angel. She was born in a normal family but people could walk through her she also could fly but she had no wings. I asked her if someone tryed to kill her and she said yes but when she dies she goes back to heaven and when ever she wants she can come back to earth. And I am very young to have these kinds of dreams, I am only 11 years old.
In my dream there was some kind of dark force making it way towards me. I was locking doors with chains. Looked up at the window, tried too close it, but it was too late they got in there were 3 beings dressed in black feathers. Two women and a man, they were all holding one black feathers. All had turns and waved it at me . At first I felt threatened but it was not as bad as I thought it was.
I had dreamt of being in a castle and be taking in as princess and just as am I am crown felt dizzy then later on is just a blue I’m just ruining away from the castle and someone helping me out and taking a carriage with a horse a black one then being caught by a princess and because she killed me and i just became an angel with a long white dress wings regular sized and just pure wait with a kitten on my neck and just seeing the princess and her saying I had to do it because someone wouldn’t
