DREAM DICTIONARY
A union or commitment — often the joining of two parts of yourself, not a literal marriage forecast.
Sit with this
“What two parts of your life are asking to be joined — and are you ready to say yes?”
What it means
A wedding in a dream symbolises union and commitment. Sometimes it reflects feelings about a real relationship, but just as often it means an inner marriage — two parts of yourself coming together, a new commitment to a path, or the integration of opposites within you.
Depth psychology calls this the “inner marriage” — the joining of contrasting forces in the psyche (reason and feeling, action and reflection) into a more whole self. A dream wedding can mark exactly this kind of integration. The mood of the wedding tells you how that union feels.
Folk dream lore often read weddings as contrary omens — dreaming of a wedding could foretell sad news, while dreaming of a funeral could foretell a wedding. The two ceremonies, both thresholds, were long thought to mirror each other in dreams.
A harmonious union — within yourself or in a relationship — that feels right.
Committing to an unfamiliar part of yourself or a new and unknown path.
Doubts or anxiety about a commitment you are facing.
Reflecting on commitment, or on a union happening around you that affects you.

Recurring dreams usually mean the underlying feeling is unresolved. Common triggers include a real relationship milestone on your mind, a new commitment or decision, two sides of yourself reconciling. The dream tends to fade once the waking-life situation it mirrors is acknowledged.
People & Relationships
Death
Almost never literal — death in dreams is the symbol for endings, transformation, and a chapter closing.
People & Relationships
Baby
New beginnings, innocence, and vulnerability — a baby is something new and fragile that depends on your care.
People & Relationships
An Ex-Partner
Rarely about getting back together — usually about unfinished feelings, lessons, or a quality you associate with that person.
