“I had a dream last night that I was getting married – what does that mean?”
If you are in the process of planning a wedding or have been thinking about, or even hoping to get married, it makes sense you’d have this dream. The stress of planning a wedding would also come through as dream content, as would a desire to marry the “person of your dreams“. This can be a literal reflection of those desires or a metaphor being given whilst you’re asleep.
One of the things I talk about in Answers In The Dark, is the importance of metaphor in dreams. Marriage can be described as a union of two parts e.g. of our lives (work/social) or even two parts of our personality; you may have been undecided about a particular area of your life or have been in ‘two minds‘ about something, but these plans are now coming together. We often talk about “marrying things” when we mean connecting something in some way.
Being at a wedding in a dream can suggest there is a cause to celebrate, so long as the wedding went to plan. If something went wrong in the dream, then it’s worth paying attention to the details so you can reflect on how that translates in to your daily life.
If you or someone you know is being forced in to a marriage in your waking life and you live in the UK, organisations like Karma Nirvana can help.
If you are dreaming your husband/wife/spouse is cheating in the dream, this doesn’t always mean what we think it does, just as sex in a dream is rarely about sex. You’ll also find insights like this, including how to keep a dream diary, in Answers In The Dark: Grief, Sleep and How Dreams Can Help You Heal.
