An Empowering Dream, by Anonymous

H ave you ever seen an angel? Many people have. Perhaps you, too, have seen an angel and didn t know it. In this book, youll meet people from all walks of life who have one thing in common: They have had an angel vision.

An angel vision is an experience of seeing the Divine, or that which is usually considered invisible. There is a diverse array of angel visions. Some people actually see Renaissance-type angels, complete with wings, with their eyes open. Other people experience their angels as an interaction with an apparition of a deceased loved one. For others, the angel vision comes during a dream, yet the dream is profound, extra-vivid, and often prophetic. Still others have interactions with Jesus, Mary, a saint, or an avatar.

Angel visions also involve pivotal meetings with helpful strangers, who either intervene or deliver an important message and then vanish without a trace. And some peoples angel visions occur when they see signs from above, including unexplained lights, sparkles, and colors.

As a psychotherapist, I was trained to believe that when people see something that isnt there, this represents a visual hallucination. In fact, I worked clinically with many people diagnosed as schizophrenic who told me that they were seeing things and people that I couldnt see. I can only speculate how many of my patients were actually seeing across the veil of heaven and were having angel visions, which we therapists inaccurately referred to as hallucinations.

Many of the angel vision experiences youll read about here happened to children, which should come as no surprise. After all, children are less skeptical and less preoccupied with worldly matters, two factors that I believe hamper adults angel visions. A 1995 University of Ohio study by Dr. William MacDonald concluded that children were statistically more likely to exhibit clairvoyant and telepathic abilities than were adults.

I remember seeing sparkling lights as a child, and feeling deliciously comforted by their presence. The vision of what I now know to be angel trails, or the electrical sparks radiated by moving angels, has been continual throughout my life. I always knew that, when I saw the bright flash of light or the Fourth-of-Julylike sparkles, this was a happy sign validating my current choices. However, I didnt talk about these incidents until recently. Now that I am out of the spiritual closet with respect to my angel visions, I find that thousands of other rational, sane, intelligent adults also see angel trails.
