For about 2 years I have been having dreams which are always differant in content however, I would say 8 times out of ten there is always a young man with brown wavy/ soft curly hair. I have never seen his face, just his hair and his body. I dont recall him ever talking, but I do feel as though he tells me things and is just their to watch me. He is like a best friend but he doesnt really have any point in my dreams he is always just hanging around. Also for around the past 3 months I have been having dreams about living in the 1800s. One dream in particular was of me a friend of mine sitting indoors across from the brown haired man and someone I dont know facing eachother. In between us was what looked to be a metal crib with black and gray (with bits of red) lace hanging down like a canopy bed but the material hung down so we could not see inside. I realized it was actually a type of casket for a baby, yet it was empty and I kept on peeking inside for something to arrive. We all just sat their talking and laughing waiting for what ever it was to appear. We were all dressed in very rich clothing from the 1800s, my friend and I were even wearing bonnets.
I was just wondering if any one knows why I would be dreaming of this person, and has any one had a similar mystery person visit their dreams?
Full Version: Guardian Angel In My Dreams?
Hi Angelmae, 
You may be seeing an angel. Like in yours, in my dreams sometimes I see man with light brown, curly/wavy hair. I recall in one of my dreams I was standing close to him and he had a very pleasant fragrance.
In the below dream I posted, I was assured that we were all safe, but no one spoke, he just stood to my right side... very comforting and peaceful. I looked into his face and saw his features. His body emanated a soft white glow and was easy to look at. There were others there, also, that I don't remember if I looked at them directly, but I knew they were there.

About the 1800's dreams:
I had a few of these many years ago. One, I was sitting at a very long dining table with a hundred, or so, people which I knew were royalty. We were all dressed in formal attire. Another, was I was standing outside on the lawn of a huge mansion, wearing a formal white gown, and I was looking into the house through a hug window watching a young brown-haired man, wearing a black tuxedo with tails, playing a grand piano.

What are dreams for? What can dreams tell us?
We are all familiar with the dreams of Joseph in the Old Testament; how he dreamed that he would rule over his brothers. They hated him for it: “Here comes the man of dreams,” they said, “Let’s kill him, and see what comes of his dreams then!” Later, Joseph interpreted the dreams of the Pharaoh’s cup-bearer and chief baker, correctly foretelling that the cup-bearer would be released from jail, and that the chief baker would be hung on a gallows. He also interpreted the dream of Pharaoh himself, foretelling the seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. It was this famine, remember, that forced Jacob and his sons to go to Egypt to find food, and there they were surprised to find out what had really come of Joseph’s dreams!
And we are familiar with the dreams of Joseph in the New Testament. He was told in a dream that Mary’s child was from the Holy Spirit. He was also told in a dream to flee from Herod and stay in Egypt to protect the Holy Family, much as Joseph in the Old Testament had protected his family in Egypt.
These dreams were of tremendous biblical importance. Are there any other dreams in the Bible? Yes! Remember Jacob’s famous dream of the angels ascending and descending? He later had a dream telling him to leave his uncle Laban. And Laban had a dream telling him to let Jacob go in peace.
The Magi, the three wise men, had a dream that warned them about Herod’s intent to kill the Christ child. And the wife of Pontius Pilate had a dream, just before the crucifixion, warning her that her husband should not punish Jesus.
Of course, these were all special dreams, sent by God to deliver a special message to special people. We are ordinary, unspecial people. Should we follow the advice of Sirach, when he says, “Unless sent as emissaries from the Most High, do not give dreams a thought”? Sirach even says, “Dreams put fools in a flutter; might as well clutch at shadows and chase the wind as put any faith in dreams. Dreams have led many astray, and those building their hopes on them have been disappointed.”
We ordinary people are not the prophets that God told Moses about when He said, “If any man among you is a prophet, I make myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.” But notice: God goes on to say, “Not so with my servant Moses; I speak with him face to face, plainly and not in riddles.”
I have a secret to tell you: God speaks to us face to face, plainly and not in riddles, and above all, in dreams. Are we not face to face with creation? Is not creation the will of God? We are often told to discern the will of God in our ordinary circumstances, but the will of God is our ordinary circumstances! What are dreams other than a distillation of our circumstances? So it makes sense to discern God’s will through our dreams, which after all are just another one of our experiences in this life.
This may be what Sirach had in mind when he also said, “Dreams are like mirrors: confronting a face, it reflects that face.” So we may not be able to foretell the future by our dreams, but we can certainly use dreams to help us understand what God wants us to learn from the present. Nothing in life is insignificant, and dreams are no exception to that rule
