Wedding — Dream Meaning
Union with witnesses — weddings mean commitment, merged identities, and readiness graded honestly by the dream's weather.
What it means to dream about wedding
A wedding in a dream is union made public: two things joining with witnesses. Tradition reads your own wedding as commitment at every level — to a person, a path, a merged identity — with the dream's weather (joy, chaos, cold feet) grading the dreamer's true readiness. Marrying a stranger is the boldest variant: union with an unknown part of yourself, a life joining to its unlived half in front of everyone.
Attending another's wedding is witness-work: blessing, envy, or the quiet audit of your own unwed life conducted from a pew. A wedding gone wrong — missing rings, wrong partner, empty church — is commitment anxiety with a production budget. Arriving late to your own wedding belongs to the being-late family: the self, tardy to its own vows.

The psychological view
In Jungian readings weddings are the sacred marriage of opposites — conscious and unconscious, public self and private, joined with witnesses.
DreamDictionary readings draw on traditional folklore and modern dream psychology. They are prompts for reflection, not predictions — the feeling a dream leaves you with is usually its most honest part.
