Dreaming of an angel: What It Means

Flying dreams are widely linked to freedom, confidence and rising above limits. The higher and easier the flight, the more positive the reading.

Stars in dreams are a classic symbol of hope, guidance and long-term goals. A bright, clear sky usually reads as a positive sign that something you're working toward is within reach.

A rainbow is one of the most hopeful dream images, tied to relief after hardship and the feeling that things are about to improve. A vivid one after rain is read as a bright sign.

Dreaming of a late grandparent or older relative is often read as a message or a moment of connection with family history. Many traditions see their expression and words as setting the tone of the dream, while psychologists see it as roots, memory and longing.

Dreaming of an ex usually reflects lingering feelings, unfinished emotions or a memory of who you were then. It doesn't necessarily mean you want or will get back together.

Dreaming of a favorite celebrity usually reflects a wish for attention, recognition or admiration. A bright, happy mood is generally read as a positive sign.
