An interpretation of bride dreams

An interpretation of bride dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Begin with the fact that most dream characters represent something about you. They’re projections. Unless the dream is literal, such as if you really are getting married or thinking about what you want in a bride or your marriage, the bride in your dream is likely to represent something about yourself. And if that’s the case, consider what it means to “marry” yourself. It means “unite.” Or bond. Or commit. Or love. Or integrate. The long-term goal of dreaming is to unite the conscious mind with the unconscious. Your dreaming mind can present an aspect of yourself as a bride in order to facilitate a union or stronger connection. The love you feel for your dream bride is actually love for yourself, or the potential for it. The end product of a man’s successful psychological development is referred to as “marriage of the soul,” where his unconscious mind is presented as the ultimate bride. The union of his conscious mind with his unconscious mind makes him truly complete. See: Animas A bride can symbolize integration of traditionally feminine traits. It can show development of these traits in yourself. Jesus of the Bible is referred to as the bridegroom, and his followers as his bride. It’s a way of expressing the depth of the spiritual relationship and desire for transcendent experience. The dreaming mind can create clever symbolism from other associations with brides. For example, attraction to a bride can be used symbolically to refer to an attractive idea or prospect. See: Beauty On the other hand, other associations can come into play, like “bridezilla,” and the high costs of a ring and wedding. See: Walls, Weddings A bride can be a characterization of a relationship such as a “work wife,” a woman who works close-and-personal with you on the job. Or the partnership can be between aspects of yourself, such as when your intellect teams up with your will, or your heart teams up with your head. Run with the idea of commitment and it can apply being committed to a cause or “married to your work.” See: Weddings A bride in a happy dream can symbolize a good union or partnership, including a partnership within you, or just express happy feelings. It can symbolize a wanted pregnancy. A bride in an unhappy dream can symbolize a bad union. Relations lack harmony. Feelings are sour. It can symbolize an unwanted pregnancy. Dreaming that your girlfriend is your bride can express a wish to marry her, or reflect thoughts about it. The dream might depict her in that role as a way of testing the water. In this way, a dream is a simulation to help you sort out thoughts and feelings. Likewise, a female seeing herself in a dream as a bride can express the wish for marriage. She tests the water, either in connection with a current relationship, or just to get comfortable with the idea. See: Weddings Just before her wedding day, a woman dreams about herself as a bride at the altar, in a chapel packed with friends and family. Suddenly, her ex-boyfriend barges in and declares his intention to rescue her. This dream is helping her realize she doesn’t really want to marry the man she is about to marry, and she secretly wishes to be rescued from making a terrible mistake. Mothers and wives and other very close female figures can be depicted as a bride. In some way it’s an accurate portrayal of the mother-child or spousal relationship.
