What dreaming of marriage means According to a Hindu myth, to see your own marriage spells distress, but to see a bride happy shall bring forth happiness and pleasure. If a married person sees his or her own marriage in a dream, it spells a lot of trouble for him. says Vinaya Katoch A sound marriage is not based on complete frankness; It is based on sensible reticence. M. Ernst. MARRIAGE as a symbol in dreams is by itself an amalgamation of several symbols. These include the bride and the groom, the ceremony, the attendants and variations in religious symbols, if any. The age and the marital status of the dreamer is significant. For instance, if in a dream you see a marriage where all the baraatis are looking gloomy and sickly, it spells great ill-will for the dreamer. As per the Hindu texts
it could even spell a threat to the life of the dreamer. In the same
manner, for a woman to dream that she is marrying an old and sickly man
denotes a lot of trouble and sickness shall come her way. However, if
you are an attendant in a marriage, then you shall experience much
pleasure from the thoughtfulness of others. To dream of any unfortunate
occurrence in connection with the marriage, foretells of distress
sickness and death within the family. |
According to Western thought, if a woman dreams of a marriage procession then it shall bring back her husband if he happens to be away. If a man gets such a dream then he shall gain that which he has been looking for. Supposing the bride is dressed in black then it shall spell doom for her. This becomes a religious symbol. A marriage or a wedding in a dream psychologically, often indicates the uniting of two parts of the dreamer which need to come together in order to create a whole. For instance, the intellect and feelings, or the practical and intuitive sides need to be balanced. A human being is always looking for someone to compliment him or her, dreams of a wedding can also give some indication of the type of person we are looking for as a partner. To see a childhood friend as your groom or bride indicates that we are looking for someone with those very qualities. As we pointed out earlier, the age of the person is significant. For an adolescent to dream of such a dream could very well indicate simple infatuation. A woman of 28 often dreamt that she was dressing up brides or attending marriages. Such a dream would often leave her depressed. Psychologically such a dream portrays her feelings of hopelessness regarding her own wishes for marriage. It indicates her feelings of inferiority, wherein she feels that she will always be the bridesmaid or an attendant, but never the bride. A different sort of a dream, that is, to see yourself dressed as a bride would indicate either your desire for marriage or could be a sorting out of feelings about a new relationship. Spiritually, dreams of marriage could
portray a mystic union. The union of the masculine and feminine aspects
of our personality and then the harmony of our physical and spiritual
selves.
