What does it mean to dream of an Angel? This is the first time I have dreamt of one and it seems important, but I'm not sure what to make of it.
I walked into a huge, empty warehouse. I was dressed all in black and had a long black scarf tied around my forehead (I never wear black in RL, looks awful on me). The clothes seemed foreign in style, maybe Asian but I'm not sure. In the middle of the warehouse, a man was sitting in a chair in profile to me. He was dressed in loose fitting clothing that was quite travel worn. The colors were white and gray, although the gray may have been white at some point. He was clean shaven, his head was shaved as well. His features had that hard look you see on men who have come back from war. Two hair dressers were fussing over him, trying to put a wig on him and curling the hair. He suddenly lost patience and abruptly stood up. That's when I saw the wings. He launched himself into the air and flew out an upper story window. I realised that I had to follow him, so I did using a series of acrobatic moves that would have landed me in the hospital if I tried them in real life. I caught up to him outside where he was standing, looking down at the ground. He looked at me and I had the sense that he had been waiting for me. He started to walk and I followed. We were in the middle of a desert with nothing to be seen for miles.
I was prematurely awakened by a cretin so I don't know if there would have been more to the dream.
Black is seen as a protective power color in some traditions , so I would take that as a good sign. It seems a bit foreign to you now , but it may be something you will learn about later .
The war aspect of the angel could be meaningful- one who is experienced and a veteran of spiritual battles , an old soul. This in itself is a form of power too.
The wig reference might be a recognition and thank you for donating your hair - but since he dismisses that I think it says that you can do much more than that , on a spiritual level .
He's flying upwards and out a window , and you are struggling to follow - you're ready to move up spiritually and perhaps even experience some other planes . The desert is often seen as a place of spiritual development through tests and deprivations like fasting and vision quests , so some of that might be a next step for you . Maybe not literal fasting , but more a voluntary renunciation of some worldly things and attachments . It might be that you are being encouraged to to reach higher now , and find your true nature . Strip away all that is not you and not in tune with your true higher spiritual self .
Flying can also refer to astral travel , so if you haven't experienced that yet it might be on the way .
Angels predate the Bible by a long way and are found in many cultures . The new agey , pinkified versions are almost like a diminishing of their essence , but I guess it makes people happy .
