Dreaming of Marriage
marriage, matrimony · mostly negative, with some happy readings
Marriage is a split omen: attending a joyful wedding can mean pleasure and success, but marrying yourself often foretells trials and sorrow.
What happens in the dream
- Attending a wedding where guests are cheerful and colorful: great enjoyment and good news
- Being an attendant or guest at a wedding: kindness from loved ones and promising business
- A former love passes during the ceremony, looking reproachful: a friend's coldness will drive you to despair
- Guests in black or somber colors: mourning and sorrow
- Getting married yourself: unpleasant news from someone absent, or an omen of hardship or poverty
- Marrying a very old, frail person: much trouble and illness
- A mishap at the wedding: distress or illness in the family
- Being an unhappy or indifferent bride or groom: disappointment in love; beware of enemies
How you felt
- Commitment: the dream often reflects thoughts about a bond or union, not necessarily romantic
- Apprehension: it may express fear of committing or choosing wrong
Ask yourself
- What am I committing to, or hesitating to?
- Is my choice truly my own?
