Identifying an Angel..., Can someone help? Options

(Hi - I'm new. First post! Yay!)

But I came here to ask about an angel - I guess I should start at the beginning.

It was during my "awakening" I suppose - when I was becoming more and more aware of spiritual things around me, when I had a dream (they're all usually straight forward, so I don't think this was symbollic at all) - I was in a garden, and seeking out someone - and when I found him, he was an angel. I forget even how I knew - He was floating just a bit above me.

He wore long white robes with a red cross upon them. I can't really remember what he looked like, or what he said (he said something very cryptic) and then I was awoken as if someone had dropped me/pushed me on the bed.

Is there any way of identifying angels by the garments they wear? Colors?

Usually no. Angels like most spirits change shape and appearance, often appearing the best way that they can relate to you. So they greatly vary by individual. Colors are often a good way to get a "area" that the angel relates to but unless you have some back ground in color associations it is not always cut and dry.

Your best bet is to just ask him next time you see him. If he is important to you and your path he will come around again.
