Marriage Day is one of the most joyful moments given to a person by fate, and the memory of it is indelible, especially for those who happened to experience it only once in their lives. It is not surprising that night dreams sometimes again immerse us in the atmosphere of this unforgettable celebration. Meanwhile, as can be seen from dream books, a wedding is not always a plot of night visions that carries a positive in itself. Its interpretation depends on many circumstances. Let's try to figure it out.
Interpretations of the great fabulist
First of all, let's take an interest in the opinion of a recognized expert in the field of dreams - the ancient Greek poet and fabulist Aesop, who lived almost six centuries before the birth of Christ, but who comprehended the secrets of the human soul to the subtleties. It is not known whether he himself was married (by the way, some historians even question his existence), but the ancient Hellenes, before creating an exemplary antique family, also arranged wedding celebrations, which they then re-experienced in a dream. So Aesop had plenty of material for research.
From those records on the basis of which a veryAesop's Dream Interpretation, which is popular today, it follows that seeing yourself at a wedding as a bride or groom is a very good omen, promising in real life the adoption of some extremely important decision that can change all future fate for the better. However, according to the same dream book, someone else's wedding, at which a person sees himself as a guest, does not portend anything joyful to him. Changes in life will come, but they will not bring additional positive. The worst thing is to see a wedding procession or motorcade in a dream - in this case there is no reason to hope for any changes in life. However, if a person is already happy, why should he change something?
If at the wedding the dreamer was assigned the role of a witness from one of the young (as you can see, such a formality already existed in Ancient Greece), then we can say with confidence that in reality some happy changes await him in his personal life. A few less reasons for joy for those who in a dream happen to play the role of toastmaster. The wise Greek advises them not to tune in to fun, but to work hard to achieve their life goals. And if the dreamer manages to somehow interfere with someone else's wedding, then in real life he can pay for it, becoming a victim of secret intruders.
The opinion of another venerable Greek
Aesop's countryman, who lived two centuries later - the ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, also did not fail to speak about night visions. According to the dream book compiled on the basis of his notes, the interpretation of the wedding contains one very curious nuance. In particular, the venerable Greek wrote: if a person sees himself as a bridegroom or a bride, he burns with lust in anticipation of the wedding night, then in reality he may become the object of a false accusation.
In this case, his own reaction to the outbreak of passion is decisive. In the absence of any unpleasant sensations, one can hope that in real life slander will not cause him serious trouble and will soon cease altogether. However, if the dreamer, languishing from voluptuousness, experienced burning suffering, then in reality the consequences of the slander can be very serious and can lead to extremely negative changes in life.
British skeptic's predictions
Now let's mentally move from the ancient world to England in the middle of the 18th century, where the outstanding astrologer Zadkiel comprehended the secrets of human dreams. According to the dream book he compiled, seeing a wedding (especially a cheerful and crowded one) is a very bad omen. In real life, the consequence of such a joyful, at first glance, plot can be dramatic events that suddenly invade the dreamer's house, or misfortunes that befell people close to him.
Further, the astrologer intimidates his readers with the message that if they see themselves as a happy bride or groom, then real life will turn out for them long years of dull loneliness or some other kind of trouble. Such a dream is especially detrimental to a sick person. It promises him at least a complication of the disease, and in the worst case, a near end.
According to the samedream book, to see someone else's wedding, in which the role of the bride or groom is assigned to his own wife or husband, means for the dreamer the inevitable collapse of his family life, weighed down by all the accompanying legal burdens: the division of property, disputes over who the children will remain with, etc. In this case, the author advises to accept the inevitable and try not to lose heart.
Having exhausted all the stock of skepticism on this, Zadkiel finally brings one and only plot, which, in his opinion, can carry a positive. He writes that if at the wedding the dreamer was assigned the role of just a guest, and besides, he was met without much joy, then in reality he will be worthy compensation for the grief he experienced. It can be a romantic meeting or receiving a long-awaited message.
Austrian psychoanalyst, true to his traditions
As you know, the Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, whose interpretation of dreams are very popular these days, sought (and found) explanations for many movements of the human soul in the sphere of his intimate life. Of course, he could not ignore such a delicate topic as dreams depicting a person on the eve of his married life.
As a true expert in his field, Freud pays maximum attention to the details of what he sees and sometimes gives them the most unexpected interpretation in his dream book. A dress at a wedding (and what marriage can do without this most important attribute), according to the author, is a symbol of a naked female body. Based on this, he writes thata dream in which the bride demonstrates her outfit indicates that in reality this person has a very high opinion of her charms and is secretly looking for an opportunity to demonstrate them to someone.
The venerable master also touched on wedding dreams seen by very young people of both sexes who had no sexual experience, as well as those who, for various reasons, retained their innocence, reaching a mature (or even “overripe”) age. For them, such visions can be a manifestation of excitement and even fear of sexual intercourse - a phenomenon that is by no means rare and sometimes prevents the organization of a normal personal life.
In general, Mr. Freud ruled out the presence of a negative color in such dreams. For example, in his dream book, someone else's wedding is a harbinger of good news, sometimes related to personal life, and sometimes related to the official sphere. Own marriage, seen in a dream, according to the author, indicates that the dreamer will soon expect a surprise that can give him great pleasure.
The meaning of the image of the wedding according to "Wanga's Dream Book"
The Bulgarian soothsayer, who struck the world with the fact that many of the events that appeared to her inner eye later found a real embodiment, left us interpretations of dreams, among which there was a place for wedding stories. According to her, for example, a vision in which the dreamer participates in other people's marriage celebrations portends him an important meeting that can affect his entire future fate, and it will happen at a fun party. If thishad his own wedding, he will soon have to make some important decision.
The plot in which a person sees himself at a wedding as a groom is interpreted in Vanga's dream book as a harbinger of the fact that soon someone will need his help. The one in need of it should not be denied, since the dreamer himself, in all likelihood, will also find himself in a situation from which he cannot get out without outside support. However, one should help one's neighbor regardless of the content of the dreams seen.
"New family dream book": why dream of a wedding?
This concludes our brief review of the opinions of those authors who have already become part of history. Let us now find out what is said about the wedding in the dream books compiled by modern connoisseurs of night visions. Let's start with the publication, which, judging by its name, is designed to be read in the circle of relatives and friends.
So, having opened the “New Family Dream Book”, you can find out that young women who often see a wedding in a dream have, to put it mildly, not a very good disposition. If, at the celebrations that they dreamed of, one of the guests was dressed in mourning, then their own family life will soon crack. So, in any case, the compilers of the dream book think.
Having a wedding for an unmarried girl is also not always a good omen. If, for example, the future bride dreamed that her parents were unhappy with what was happening, then in real life they may resist the choice that their daughter will one day make. At the same time, a girl who accepted an offer in a dream can in reality count onuniversal respect and sympathy. In addition, all the promises made to her in a dream by her fiancé will someday come true in real life.
What did the nobles dream about?
Very interesting in terms of interpreting dreams related to the wedding, the dream book compiled by Nina Grishina. In it, she systematized the records that she inherited from several generations of her noble ancestors and concerning the consequences of certain night visions. In this regard, the fruit of her labors was called the "Noble Dream Book". Somewhat pretentious, but piques interest in everything that is written in it.
First of all, Mrs. Grishina warns that for a single person to see himself married is an extremely bad omen, promising him a serious illness soon. However, the dream that was interrupted at the moment of betrothal is to joy. In this regard, an explanation is given that if the bride was a certain person who spoiled the dreamer a lot of blood in reality, then after that she will certainly disappear from his life.
By the way, in cases where the bride is not familiar to the dreamer in real life, her appearance is extremely important. The fact is that the young and beautiful portends a real danger to his parents, and the old one can be a threat to himself, as well as his brothers and sisters. It is best, according to the author of the dream book, to see yourself present at someone else's wedding. In real life, this promises the fulfillment of desires.
Notes of modern interpreters
Now let's look at the publication with the modest name "Modern Dream Book". You can also find a lot of interesting things in it. For example, its authors state,that if a young woman sees herself in a dream secretly getting married from everyone, then in reality her moral character may turn out to be an occasion for gossip and gossip. At the same time, it is especially dangerous to have a certain old man as a groom, even a very rich one. Such a plot portends a serious illness to the dreamer.
The wedding of a friend is very curiously interpreted in the "Modern Dream Book", especially if she is married to the dreamer's husband or lover. According to the authors, this is a sign that a woman who sees such a dream in reality is subject to outbreaks of unreasonable jealousy, causing her a lot of suffering. If a friend marries a stranger, it is possible that in reality the dreamer had a real reason for suspicion.
Nice chores
Interpreted in many modern dream books and preparation for the wedding. This very pleasant activity in reality in a dream can have a number of meanings. For example, trying on a wedding dress, seen in night dreams, may portend a wedding in real life. At the same time, seeing yourself in a wedding dress at someone else's wedding means an early illness.
An interesting interpretation is given in the Esoteric Dream Book. Preparing for a wedding and suddenly seeing someone else's festive procession passing by, according to the compilers, means a real danger posed by a secret rival. It may very well be that this insidious homeowner is an unfamiliar woman, but she undoubtedly exists, and all available measures should be taken to put an end to her intrigues.
Don't repeat the same mistakes
Let's dwell on one more remarkable topic, often found in currently published dream books - the wedding of an ex-husband or lover. In this case, most authors agree that such a plot may portend the dreamer herself to an early marriage, or at least the beginning of a stormy and emotional romance. But the interpreters are not limited to this. They vied with each other that if a familiar woman or girl acted as the current bride, then one should be on the alert, because in real life a lady who saw such a dream could be threatened by treachery from her secret ill-wishers.
However, there are inveterate skeptics among the compilers of dream books who claim that any night vision plot in which the "former" marries and tries to create a new family is a formidable warning. They see it as proof that with a new partner, a woman who has a dream involuntarily repeats the same mistakes that once led to the breakup of her previous relationship.
