Symbols / A wedding

Dreaming about a wedding

A reading for meaning, not prophecy

A wedding is read as union and commitment — in the East a joining of fortunes (喜), in the West the inner marriage of opposites, in Ibn Sirin's tradition a significant change of state.

Three readings

In Chinese tradition · 周公解梦 · 婚

周公解梦 reads the wedding as 喜 — a joyful joining, the union of fortunes and a new chapter; though the tradition notes that in dreams joy and solemnity can mirror each other, so the mood matters. Generally it is read as union and increase.

In Western psychology · Jungian

Jung read marriage in dreams as the coniunctio — the inner union of opposites, masculine and feminine, conscious and unconscious, that marks wholeness. A wedding can mean two parts of yourself coming together, or a real commitment your psyche is integrating.

In Islam · Ibn Sirin

Ibn Sirin read marriage as a major change of state — often increase, a new bond, or a worldly responsibility; depending on detail it can also touch on hardship, so the manner matters. Framed as meaning: what union or commitment is forming in your life?
