The Being

Hello, my name is Cory. I had a dream of an angel when I was about 15 or 16. That dream is the most profound, real and still the most memorable dream of my life so far.

First you should know that around 12 years old I had doubts about the existance of God. My mother and I went to church almost every Sunday. I told my mother about the doubts I had. I remember the conversation being very short, but since then my mother an I have never gone to church on Sunday since (with the exception of a few midnite masses shortly after with other family members,). I have since further develped an atheist lifestyle. I never think of God or Jesus or angels unless cogitating the existence of God and never in a religious sense. I don't pray and Idon't willing walk with Jesus. However I will take this time to say that I have a much better appreciation for morality and humanity than many of the religious devotees around me.(I wont get into that here, but that is absolutly true).

I'm not sure why I'm here but after more than 10 years I feel compelled to share this story with other people who have encountered angels.

The dream happened all at once with no warning. I don't recall the angel appearing. It was always there it seemed. I can still see it clearly and vividly in my mind even as I write this now. I was suspened it what looked like a vast dark space in the universe. Before me was a brightly colored "being" (for lack of a better word) that I instantly recognized as an angel.

The angel was large a very beautiful. A hundred colors passed over its body and face in an everchanging keliedascope. Bright white was the underlying color. The very shape of the angel was constantly shifting and moving. It had no defining facial features but it had a loosely shaped head which seemed to be looking in my direction although there were no eyes. There was a vague human form but not well defined. Although the angel itself had a very defined outline that I could see and focus on very clearly. This entity gave off a vibe that was so powerfully feminine, that I'm sure it was a female type of angel.

Yes it had what I would recognize as wings but not the feathered kind. The flowed from the body in a backward and up direction. They too were the same white with colors ever changing in them. The wings themselves changed dramtically in size and shape. Sometimes shrinking small and deformed so that they could be barely be seen as an extension of the body. Other times the wings grew so large they were easily twice the size of the angels body and more. Absolutley no fear was present in this experience. On the contrary, there was and good comfort level and the angel seemed to love and have a genuine care for me (like a really good friend or even girlfriend/lover).

The angel then spoke to me. I heard the words clearly althought I don't remember them word for word now. I do remember the message. The angle said something like. "Cory, (the angel used my name) if you don't change the way you live you life your status in heaven will be compromised. She went on to explain that even If I were to die now I would have a lower position in heaven and that I would have to do great labour to earn my spot in heaven." I was sent a vision of what that labour entailed and it looked like a great heavenly city was being built and I was working at building it. I then realized that I would be labouring for a very long time, maybe the equivilant of a lifetime of work and that work would be highly respected by other beings in heaven. That specific labour vision within a dream is not that clear and very short.

The angel did not part rather I just woke up. When I awoke I was amzed at the realistic quality of that dream. At the very time of dream I knew that I was asleep and was thinking wow this is so real. My thoughts were as clear and real in the dream as they are in real life. The dream was the very first and immediate thing I thought of when I woke up. When I did wake up I was so fully wide awake and full of adrenaline and excitement. My first thought was "I've been visited by an angel". Its was a great experience.

Then the message sank in. I needed to improve my lifstyle. But I was only a teenager and was known of as, a good little boy with good grades. However I didn't think much of it and to this day I never figured out where I needed to improve. I thought that maybe it was my doubts in the existence of god. Inside I have a deep feeling that this is not the answer and lies somewhere else in the facets of my life.
