An interpretation of angel dreams

An interpretation of angel dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Dreams create symbolism and build stories from personal and common associations, and common associations with angels are that they are good, pure, and righteous. In addition, they come to the rescue of mortals in danger. Imagine the possibilities: An angel can symbolize a good person you know, someone who comes to the rescue. It can symbolize a desire to live a pure life and have pure thoughts. It can symbolize any force for good that helps people in need and does the right thing. An angel can symbolize your better nature. In Freudian terms, it can symbolize the superego, the inner regulator of impulses and enforcer of morality and ethics—your conscience. An angel can be a satirical depiction of someone you know who is self-righteous or holier-than-thou. In which case, something about the angel in your dream will seem wrong. In scripture, angels are messengers from God, so in dreams they can deliver messages from something deeper, wiser, or higher. These dream characters come from the archetypal layer of the unconscious mind, which is a source of hidden knowledge and insight, like angels. The unconscious mind is the “other side,” sometimes completely foreign and incomprehensible to the conscious mind. If an angel in your dream delivers a message, take it to heart, no matter what your beliefs are. It can guide you to greater meaning and fulfillment in your life. A message read from a scroll by an angel is a particularly powerful image of delivering an important message. Three angels together in a dream suggest unity and wholeness, as in the Trinity, body-mind-spirit and birth-life-death. Some traditions view it as a sign of high spiritual attainment. Special groupings of three spiritual figures are found in many cultures and belief systems, not just Christian. The Angel of Death in a dream can signify that something is coming to an end.
