What does it mean to dream about a wedding?

Wedding dreams are often about a new chapter starting, in love or anywhere else. They can reflect longing for a happy partnership, doubts about a marriage you have, or new responsibility closing in. In dream psychology a wedding can also stand for two sides of yourself coming together.

Updated

Wedding dreams come to single people and married people alike, and they don't always feel happy. There's no single meaning. Whose wedding it was, where you are in your own life, and how the day felt all point in different directions.

What dreaming about a wedding may mean

  1. ALonging for a happy partnership

    Sometimes a wedding dream is close to what it looks like: a wish for a good, fulfilling marriage. It turns up most often for people who are single, though married people have it too.

    You're single right now

  2. BDoubts about the marriage you have

    Getting married again, or redoing the wedding, may reflect dissatisfaction or regret about your current marriage, as if part of you wants a second go at the beginning.

    You were getting married again, or redoing your wedding

  3. CNew responsibility closing in

    A wedding also means promises and a life that's harder to change. If the marriage felt like a cage, the dream may be about losing freedom, or about new responsibility and pressure in some part of your life.

    Getting married felt like going to prison

  1. DA new chapter starting

    A wedding marks a before and an after. The dream may be about any new stage that's beginning, in work, at home or in yourself, not only in love.

  2. EParts of yourself coming together

    In dream psychology, a wedding can also stand for two sides of yourself joining up. Jungians see it as growth, as if the personality is becoming more whole.

These are possibilities, not verdicts. The reading that fits is the one that matches the details and the feeling of your dream, and what's going on in your life.

Questions that tell the readings apart

  1. Q1What kind of wedding was it? How did you feel there?A joyful wedding and a tense one are rarely about the same thing.
  2. Q2Was it your own wedding? Are you single or married right now?The same dream can mean something different depending on where you are in life.
  3. Q3Did getting married feel like a celebration, or like being shut in?Feeling trapped points to pressure rather than romance.
