What does a wedding in a dream mean?

Wedding

Commitment and Union: The most common interpretation of wedding dreams is about commitment. This isn’t always a literal marriage but signifies the merging of two aspects. This could be:
- Inner selves: Union of your masculine and feminine sides, or different parts of your personality.
- New beginnings: Committing to a significant change, project, or major life decision.
- Relationships: Not always romantic! It could signify deepening a friendship or partnership.
Anxiety or Unresolved Issues: Weddings, even in dreams, can bring underlying anxieties to the surface. They might highlight fears about commitment, concerns about a current relationship, or unresolved issues from past relationships.
Wish Fulfillment: If you have a strong desire for marriage, your dreams might simply be mirroring this wish in a very literal way.
Shadow Side Exploration: Surprisingly, wedding dreams (especially if they feel negative or wrong) can sometimes be your subconscious forcing you to examine the ‘shadow’ sides of commitment or union.

Who’s Getting Married?:
- Yourself: Internal union, major commitment
- Someone you know: Reflect on your relationship to them. Do they embody something you desire?
- Strangers: Focus on the emotions this evokes in the dream for clues to its true meaning.
The Ceremony: Was it happy, stressful, traditional, or unusual? This reflects your inner feeling about commitment or the type of union the dream symbolizes.
Your Role: Bride, groom, guest, or even an objector? Your role heavily influences the dream’s meaning.
Emotions: Joy, dread, anxiety, relief – your emotional reaction to the wedding guides interpretation.

Upcoming Commitments: Are you making major life decisions, starting a new project, or entering a new chapter? Wedding imagery might reflect this.
Relationship Status: Are you questioning your current partnership, yearning for a deeper connection, or feeling anxious about commitment in general?
Inner Development: Are you reconciling different aspects of yourself, healing old wounds, or integrating new parts of your personality?
