Dreaming of a Wedding
wedding, ceremony · mostly negative, with some happy exceptions
Traditionally, a wedding in a dream is a paradox: it points to bitterness or bereavement more often than joy.
What happens in the dream
- Attending a wedding: a bitter occasion and delayed success
- Making a match everyone approves of: you will rise in others' esteem and your hopes will come true
- Marrying someone handsome: joy; someone unattractive: discontent
- A merry wedding: by tradition, a sign of a funeral
- Marrying in secret: a bad sign for your reputation
- Your family objects: your engagement will upset your relatives
- Your partner marries someone else: needless fears, as they will keep their promises
- Kissing the bride, or being kissed by her: the loss of someone dear
- Someone in mourning clothes at your wedding: an unhappy married life
How you felt
- Excitement or nerves: the dream often reflects an approaching commitment or big change
- Worry: you may be wondering what you're leaving behind
Ask yourself
- What commitment am I making?
- What is changing in my life right now?
