Wedding Dreams
Are you dreaming about your wedding? Bride Lucy tells us what’s on her mind and looks at the meaning of wedding dreams.

It’s my fourth in about as many months. Have you guys had many of those?
In preparation for writing this post, I started writing them down, well what I can remember of them, anyway. I’ve always been good at recalling one thing about my dreams, but the rest is always hazy.
In my first wedding dream I had my hair in a ponytail; a definite bad omen for me, I hate how I look with my hair up. To make matters worse, the booze didn’t get delivered to our wedding venue, a disaster of gigantic proportions among my family and friends, let me tell you.
The second dream was more sensory; the wedding itself went to plan, ie everyone turned up and I wasn’t naked (!) but at the end of the day, I kept repeating over and over that I didn’t “feel” married, that whatever was supposed to have occurred, didn’t.
The third dream was a little more amusing; for some reason or another I got half way up an extraordinarily long aisle before turning to my sister in horror and saying that my lipstick had worn off and I had to go and reapply it. Cue me walking back down the longest aisle in the world, and taking so long about it, everyone went home before I could get back again.
In my latest dream, I didn’t bother with the dress or make-up at all. We’d rushed to the wedding venue and I didn’t have time to change properly, so had to get married in my jeans and a t-shirt. I don’t remember being worried about that part though, so I’m taking that as a good sign.
Dream-experts say that wedding dreams symbolise a “coming together” of the opposing parts of your personality – yin and yang, male and female.
Clearly a positive and happy sign – but I guess my dreams have also given me an insight into my own fears about the day and have even prompted me to follow up on particular areas.
For example, the day after the lipstick dream, I booked a make-up trial! And the week after the “not feeling married” dream, I sat down with Geoff and wrote our wedding vows!
I’ve decided to write my memories of any future wedding dreams down now.
It sounds kind of petty but with all the stuff that whirls through you mind as you get closer and closer to the final preparations, it kind of makes sense to take time out to listen to what your heart is telling you.
Even if it’s sometimes hard to remember in the morning.
I woke in a cold sweat a couple of nights ago after yet another wedding-day dream/nightmare.

I’ve decided to write down any future wedding dreams from now on. It sounds kind of petty but with all the stuff that whirls through you mind as you get closer and closer to the final preparations, it kind of makes sense to take time out to listen to what your heart is telling you.
