Dream About Getting Married
Detailed Interpretation
You're getting married—dressed for it, ceremony happening, commitment being made. Whether to known partner, unexpected person, or unknown figure, the wedding represents major union and commitment.
If marrying current partner, the dream might process your actual relationship—deepening commitment, fears about marriage, or hopes for formal union.
If marrying someone unexpected, consider what they represent. Their qualities might be what you're committing to—not the person but what they symbolize.
Marriage represents joining of two into one—in Jung's terms, sometimes this is internal marriage of different aspects of self. Masculine and feminine, conscious and unconscious, different parts unifying.
The wedding mood matters. Joy suggests welcomed commitment. Anxiety suggests commitment fears. Obligation suggests forced union. Each mood reveals relationship to the commitment being made.
