What it means to dream about a wedding
A wedding symbolizes the union of parts of yourself or an important life commitment.
Wedding dreams rarely predict a real wedding. Jungianly, it is the 'conjunctio' symbol — union of parts of yourself (masculine/feminine, reason/intuition, ambition/tenderness) into a new integration.
If you are the bride or groom, you are on the verge of an important commitment — a project, a life direction, an identity decision. The dream's emotion says whether you are ready or ambivalent.
Jungian interpretation
A wedding with an unknown person signals integration of a new quality. A wedding with someone you know — not necessarily desire toward that person, but integration of a quality you see in them.
If the dream is full of chaos (dress ruined, guests missing, venue changed), there is real anxiety about commitment or insecurity about a recent choice.
Mystical & traditional perspective
Marrying an ex or a parent is a classic Jungian symbol — not literal. It represents an unfinished emotional bond or a dynamic you are trying to resolve symbolically.
