General Meanings:

The need for love relations If a woman sees herself in a dream as a bride, this expresses the wish to bring herself to a love relationship after independence. The dreamer must learn to understand the change of responsibility. In the dream of a man a bride symbolizes the view of the feminine, innocent parts inside her. If the dream about wedding – especially if it is of those who is dreaming – then this is an indication of feelings integration to reality. Bride, bridegroom are understood trivially, sometimes as the need for a marriage or partnership which is perhaps suppressed. Symbolic meanings often stand behind it, for example:

• Creation Contrasts and oppositions in own personality will combine with each other to create something new, and besides lose their ambivalent character.
• Self-knowledge Awareness and mind will connect with the unconscious and emotions to create harmonious, balanced and mature personality through better understanding of your own motive and character.
• Needs and Desires Sometimes religious needs or desire for transcendental experiences also is revealed beyond mind and logic (groom can stand for example as a symbol for Christ or Spirit and the bride for the Virgin Mary).
• Purity The bride wears a white dress, the color of innocence, but also of abstinence and in a sense also the feeling of cold (see also “White”).
• Forbidden actions In the dream to sleep with own bride, for the man, means an adventure in which he breaks a taboo.
• Worries Who sleeps with a stranger in the wedding dress, might get in trouble because of his research approach in waking life.
• Doubt For women, the bride’s dream could include love and happiness from which they shrink back because somebody in their life speaks against it.
• Fulfillment Sometimes it is a kind of desirable fulfillment if one leads a bride to the altar or steps even as a bride in the dream vision.
• Happiness If the bride is happy in a dream, it symbolizes a happy family life and a good partnership.
• Disputes If the bride is ugly or unfortunate, the dream shows conflicts with partnership or family. It can also sometimes express a warning against an unwanted pregnancy.

Psychological Meanings:

Desire for relations, family, stability The dream stands for the desire for the union integrated with the not integrated personality interests. Perhaps the dreamer searches his innocent, feminine side. If the picture of a bride, a bridegroom or a wedding appears in the dream, this can be interpreted as a sing for the wish for a fair connection. Sometimes the desire is also more generally, for a balance of inner and outer discrepancies. But can also be shown the desire for a balance of forces. This is also a frequent dream for young men who are fixed on a specific type of woman and search for these “dream girl” in all.

Spiritual Meanings:

At this level, the bride stands for the spiritual need for love, the knowledge of love, receptivity and fertility.
