Meaning Dream of Altar, Anchors and Angels
Thursday, January 10, 2019
In this article, I will discuss some common meanings behind dreams about Altar, Anchors and Angels. Each dreamer needs to find his or her own personal meaning among the common observations.
1. Altar
(See Buildings)
Church alters can be used to symbolise a marriage or other types of unions between people. They can also represent the spiritual bonds and pledges that you have made in the past. Bells signify change.
Amputation
(See Body/Dismembered)
If you lose a limb in a dream it can represent 'the experience of loss' sometimes we lose things like our motivation and drive which can affect how well, we are able to get along in our life. Being dismembered or torn apart in dreams reminds us that we can be hurt because we are torn between people or torn apart by a profound experience. This type of dream is probably symbolic for the fear of loss rather than an actual physical loss, it is highly unlikely in the dream scenario that you experienced a limb being cut off, what you felt was the fear of this happening, you probably woke up before the amputation occurred. This explains your own fears of losing the people that you love, without them you would not feel complete. When the outcome of this type of dream is not known it is because it is not yet understood how things will turn out.
2. Anchors
(See Boats)
Anchors are a symbol of stability and explain your wish to put down roots. They provide balance in emotional waters and help to remind you that you can find balance and stability through rest and recuperation and by letting things calm down. Learning to accept a new emotional standpoint.
3. Angels
Angels help to show you that you have help at hand; unconditional love will surround and protect you. Angels have been known to visit while in the dream state or whilst people are wide awake, more commonly they are seen or allow themselves to be seen when we are at the in-between state of waking up or going to sleep, this is our twilight if you like when we are at our most connected with our subconscious and connected with the spirit world, our soul is highly receptive to receive messages in this twilight or overlapping time.
In times of great suffering or grief angels can be seen without the need for exceptional circumstances because the suffering and grief provides the same or similar vibrations that allow contact. Angels have also been encountered during near death experiences; often an encounter with an angel is described as a vision.
Angels come in many forms and it is for the person receiving them to decide if the visitation is from an actual angel or not. There are many descriptions and different accounts of angels throughout history; the most important thing is that you trust your own instincts and feelings towards acceptance of an angel visitation, sometimes an encounter might be considered later, after an event.
Angels and their roles:
Angels fulfil many roles in heaven and on earth, it is said that there are nine types of angels.
As follows:
Seraphim's-Cherubim-Thrones-Dominions-Virtues-Powers-Principalities-Archangels-Angels.
Each angel has specific roles and duties, but it is widely accepted that they are ministers for God;
There is a lot of information available on the web of the different angels and their individual roles, but angels are usually called upon to help when all other attempts have failed. Angels administer comfort in distress and deliver messages and prayers between God, spirit and humans. They take care to ensure that through the work they do they do not interfere with a chosen pathway or learning that an individual is destined to walk, although they do have the power to intervene if it is in a divine way. (In a way that is not against God or man and the balance of humanity) They assist souls into the next world and into an earthly life and they ensure that occurrences that are preordained or arranged come to pass. They are also said to take upon themselves the work that neither man nor spirit wants to do or can do.
Often angels simply want the observer to share their angel experience with other people so that it brings hope and comfort to them as well, they want the message given to others that there is life after death and that there is a divine source of power that loves and watches over us all. It is said that Angels hear the suffering of souls that both man and spirit cannot, and they answer the calls in ways we don’t always understand.
Guardian angels or guides as they are known in spiritual movements are attached to humans to guide and help them on their chosen spiritual journey and oversee the soul’s experience. They usually stay with the same person through-out their life and ensure that the person stays on task as much as is possible. Guides that work with people who are on a spiritual path usually make themselves known to their charge. Even guardian angels cannot protect against your own free will, the choices you make will always be yours ultimately and their guidance can at times be sublime and easily ignored. If you have dreamed of an angel or angels I would suggest that they have brought you comfort in your distress or to help you understand your own spiritual journey.
