Getting Married
A wedding dream represents far less an actual desire for marriage than the integration of two opposing forces, a new commitment, or an inner transformation.
✦Spiritual Interpretation
In spiritual traditions, marriage is the symbol of the sacred union (hieros gamos) — the cosmic harmony of two opposing principles. Getting married in a dream symbolises that the soul has reached a threshold of integration and the door to a new life phase has opened.
♑Astrological Interpretation
Wedding dreams increase during periods when Venus and Jupiter are strong or make positive aspects. Seventh-house transits directly trigger these dreams. Those born under Libra and Cancer are more open to these relationship-themed dreams.
◈Psychological Interpretation
For Jung a wedding dream is one of the most symbolic moments of the individuation process: it symbolises the ceremony of integration in which opposing inner forces — the conscious and unconscious, anima and animus, shadow and light — finally come together.
◯Freudian Interpretation
Freud generally associates wedding dreams with unconscious desires relating to maturation and sexuality. Sometimes ambivalence about marriage or dependency anxieties are also hidden in this dream.
