Ever since a dream I had of Michael the Archangel back in October 2015, I’ve had a recurring dream theme of seeing religious statues. Most often, these are statues of the Blessed Mother Mary and various angels. Based on the timing of these statue dreams, the main meaning/point of them is likely to strengthen my faith at a time when I feel weak.
The Comforting Angel
Yesterday, I saw a vivid image of two statues in my dreams: one of a gently smiling angel comforting another, the statue of a weeping girl.
The more overt symbolism there was, of course, divine comfort, which has been an ongoing theme for me this past week alone, starting with the daily verse I received in my Bible app on Monday. I wonder if those statues referenced an important Biblical scene, such as the moment when Mary Magdalene weeps over the empty tomb of Jesus, where two angels greeted her. Perhaps it was only meant to be a general reference to God’s divine comfort.
Mary and the Four Archangels
During finals week this past spring semester, which promised to be my most challenging round of finals ever due to it being my last semester, I started off my week with a similarly beautiful statue image. In this dream, I found, engraved into the side of an old marble building, a statue of Mother Mary carrying baby Jesus, surrounded by four archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. I was able to identify them by the unique items and stances they carried: Michael wielding a sword, Gabriel looking peaceful as always, Raphael standing stoically, and Uriel kneeling over an open book, looking reminiscent of an exhausted student.
Uriel’s appearance here was intriguing and, admittedly, a bit amusing because he looked like we all did after pulling all-nighters. According to various sources, Uriel is the archangel of wisdom. His status as such explains why he was seen with the book.
Mary and the Lily
Back in December 2016, when the stress of the late semester was wearing me down, I had a series of dreams in one night that left me feeling utterly refreshed and healed when I woke up. Among receiving comfort from Michael the Archangel and talking to a kindly, fatherly man who may have been a metaphorical or literal incarnation of God the Father, I also happened upon a smiling statue of Mary.
In the statue’s extended hand was a beautiful white lily, which, concerning Mary, is known as a symbol of her purity. The white lily is seen in the hands of Gabriel in artistic representations of his Annunciation to Mary of her status as the Mother of God. According to web sources, she is known as the “white lily of the Trinity”.
I’m sure that I heard her gently say to me that she would assist me in my ongoing spiritual journey, and of course, those words meant a lot to me, and they still do.
Other Dreams
Besides the most significant dreams I’ve had that I’ve listed here, Mary and Michael have repeatedly appeared in dreams of mine related to churches and spiritual journeys.
My biggest question about these dreams is (with a grain of salt, of course), are these statues already existing in the waking world? It would be amazing, to say the least, if I could find these in real life. But only time will tell.

I came to this website by searching for online explanations about angels and statues and crying mother. I had a dream where I was walking with my grandpa in the sky and a huge glowing angel appeared and gave me a small statue of Virgin Mary crying over the dead body of Jesus while holding him. Since then, verywhere I go I see this statue.

That’s amazing! I think you’ve been seeing a version of Michelangelo’s Pieta statue, which is as you’ve seen, a statue of the Virgin Mary cradling the body of her Son after His crucifixion. It’s a powerful image, and I think that many Renaissance artists recreated it in painfully realistic artwork to show just how much grief Mary dealt with at that moment.

Hey Ave Maria!
Yes indeed, I did great on the exam thanks to his help! I’m always grateful for it, because I was struggling with this class and nervous that I wouldn’t get a good grade.
I’m grateful for God’s amazing angels always!
Peace be with you 💙

I had à similar dream, I was playing Pokemon go , when the game took me to a place , a Park, with a Stone statue of Mary surrounded by childrens. When I curiously touch it. I was transport to a fall country road, with oranges Trees forming some beautiful arc, and then, six Angels statues, they look like the Archangels and then a tall colored Statue of Mary, and then I wake up. Weird isn’t it , im not even religious.

That is fascinating!! I’m trying to remember from the original Pokemon animated show from the 90s when I was a kid if orange trees had a scene at one point. I want to say yes? It was so long ago when I watched it it’s hard to remember 😅
That’s a beautiful dream! I know that one of Mary’s titles is the Queen of Angels, that might be why you saw her at the end with those angel statues. That sounds so peaceful!!
