What does dreaming about angel mean in the Bible?

God's messenger — dreams were often how they came

In Scripture

Angels repeatedly reached people in their sleep: Joseph was told in dreams to take Mary as his wife and to flee to Egypt. Angels are messengers and guardians sent by God — never objects of worship. If an angelic presence marked your dream, weigh its message against Scripture; God's true messengers always agree with His word.
