What does dreaming about angel mean in the Bible?
God's messenger — dreams were often how they came
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. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, angel is filed under people & beings — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Matthew 1:20, Psalms 91:11, Hebrews 13:2. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to angel, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
