Request for Accounts of
Angels or Beings of Light
in Dreams
I am planning to write a book called Angels in the Night, which will include accounts of dreams in which various types of angelic figures or beings of light have appeared.

      In addition to describing the dream in as much detail as possible and noting when it occurred, it would also be useful if you could comment about any possibly significant emotional events that were going on in your life before the dream and your subsequent reaction to the dream. Have you ever had any other similar dreams? Do I have your permission to include your dream, if I decide to use it in the book? What name do want used in connection with your dream? Click here to contact me. As an alternative, you can reach me via USPS at: 1225 Sunset Avenue Extended, Charlottesville, VA 22903.

      Here are two accounts that I received when I made a similar request several years ago. The first dreamer, Zianthe, sent this account by e-mail. The dream she shares seems to have an uncanny correspondence to the theme and actions of the figures portrayed in the painting at the top of this page.
      "Just as I'm falling asleep, I become aware there are some creatures holding a large sign in front of me. They become very active and seem to want my full attention. This continues for some time. Finally I pay attention and say: 'What is it?'

      "The creatures then clarify into angels, each holding a post card in front of me. They announce that I must begin letting people know that angels often place messages into people's dreams. They explain that they borrow someone's dream for an instant and place their message within the plot and action so that it is encoded in the dream. They do this often, they say. They want me to be sure to tell people that their dreams often include these 'postcards from their angels'. I agree to pass this information along. I'm very moved, and it all seems quite real. After this, the creatures seem to evaporate and I awaken feeling very tingly."

      This next account came from Frank Faulk from CBC Television in Toronto, Ontario. He had the dream about a year earlier:

      "I am approached by a bright light. It has no definite form. But I recall feeling very excited in knowing that 'it' was a messenger of God. It hands me a letter. I take the letter and feel thrilled that I am personally being sent a letter from God. I feel chosen. I keep saying to myself. 'I knew it!! I am special!' I have a strong sense of elation.

      "With great anticipation, I open the letter. I read the greeting: 'Dear Humanity:' ... I feel a sense of disappointment because the letter is not addressing me personally. I feel as though I have just received a form of cosmic junk mail from God--like the 'Dear Occupant' junk mail we all get. I feel this tremendous sense of deflation. I am not special. Then, all of a sudden, I have this dawning realization: I am humanity! I experience a sense of calm elation, a sense of quiet joy and peace."

      Frank wrote that this extraordinary dream had become "a bit of a touchstone for me. Whenever I'm feeling alienated and disconnected, I recall this dream. Recalling it makes me feel grounded and calm. The dream helps connect me to a sense of 'us-ness', as opposed to the more typical us/them mode of consciousness".
