My Wedding Dream

Last night I dreamt that I was getting married. Everyone that I had ever known showed up. Even some people from Gainesville that I no longer speak to. My baby daddy was even there. No one was dressed up as they showed up for my wedding.

I remember standing there in this ridiculous white wedding gown and BLACK strappy heels. The dress was a spaghetti strap white dress with a mini skirt and a long train. I actually had HAIR in this dream too. I guess it was a wig or a weave or something.

The weird thing about it is I didn’t know the man I was marrying. I didn’t have any feelings for him or anything. I kept thinking to myself, “Am I really going to do this?”

We stood at the altar and I remember kissing him and everyone clapping. We went back to our hotel room which was beautiful and he spoke to me. My eyes grew wide as I assessed this stranger. He was about 5’9″ pretty slim and light skinned. I thought that was weird since I’m not into light skinned guys like that. But the really crazy thing was the fact that he had an accent. It was a weird accent and anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m NOT into guys with accents. I can’t understand what they are saying and it frustrates me.

I look at him and he gives me a hug and says, “Look at the wifey.” I blush. Am I really someone’s WIFE?! Whoa!

When I woke up I freaked out. I had always heard that dreaming of a wedding meant death. And if you see yourself in a wedding dress that meant that YOU were going to die soon.

Tamara called me this morning while she was waiting to board her plane and I told her my dream. She confirmed everything that I had thought.

I began to think about all of the people who know me and how sad they would be if I died. It feels great to say that a lot of people love me and I play a major role in the lives of my friends. My presence on this earth has blessed people through my craziness, my honesty and my good nature. I am so glad that I am alive. I don’t want to die.

Tamara suggested that I look up the meaning of my dream online. Here is what I found:

Wedding

To see a wedding in your dream, symbolizes a new beginning or transition in your current life. Dreams involving weddings are generally negative and highlight some anxiety or fear. It often refers to feelings of bitterness, sorrow, or death. Alternatively, wedding dreams reflect your issues about commitment and independence.



To dream that you are getting married to your current spouse again, represents your wedded bliss and happiness. It highlights your strong commitment to each other. It may also signify a new phase (such as parenthood) that you are entering in your life.

To dream that you are planning your own wedding to someone you never met, is a metaphor symbolizing the union of your masculine and feminine side. It represents a transitional phase where you are seeking some sort of balance between your aggressive side and emotional side.

Wedding Clothes

To see wedding clothes in your dream, signifies new friends and pleasurable undertakings.

Marriage

To see a marriage in your dream, signifies commitment, harmony or transition. You will undergo an important developmental transitional phase. It may also represent the unification of formerly separate or opposite aspects of yourself. In particular, it may represent the union of masculine or feminine aspects of yourself.



I felt a little better after reading this, but not much. The crazy thing is I never allow myself to fantasize about my wedding. It’s too much pressure for a woman who doesn’t even have anyone in the running for a mate.

I try not to look too much into my dreams, but I dream vividly every night and I always remember what I dream. Last night’s dream has me feeling a bit weary though.

Hmmm…
