Spiritual Meaning:
The force field – or electro-magnetic energy – that emanates from each of us has a particular quality in those who have undertaken to develop themselves spiritually. To the clairvoyant eye it can appear as a type of mother-of-pearl radiance, which seems to be brightest around the head and forms a halo.
Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
The charisma that many world and spiritual leaders have is felt by many, and can be experienced as a sort of cloudy radiance. This ‘nimbus’is usually slightly more subtle – and therefore more far-reaching – than the ordinary person’s aura; the halo, particularly when it is seen in dreams, is an intensification of this energy.
Everyday Material Aspects:
In religious pictures it is the convention to picture this divine radiance around Christ-like or saintly people as the halo. As an archetypal image, therefore, when seen in dreams we can accept the presence of a spiritual power.
