Dreaming about a wedding

Dreaming about a wedding is traditionally read as union, commitment, or two parts of yourself joining. No survey has measured how often this one occurs, so we give the reading without a frequency — only 13 of the dream themes here have a published figure at all.

What research shows

Common before and after real weddings, and also entirely unconnected to them.

The psychological reading

Jungian readings treat it as integration — two aspects of the self reconciling rather than two people.

What tradition claimed

Frequently read as an inversion and an omen of a funeral, which says more about older dream books than about weddings.

How to record a dream, why the feeling matters more than the content, and when recurring nightmares are worth a doctor rather than a dictionary — set out once on the main page.

Before you look anything up

How the dream felt matters more than what was in it. The same image can arrive as comfort or as threat, and that difference tells you more than any entry in a dictionary — including this one.
