Dreams About Getting Married
0 Playsin 4 hours
Yes, marriage dreams are fairly common dreams! You are not weird, there is nothing to fear. These dreams a most likely a symbol God is using to show you something that is coming, or something you are expereincing or something he wants to do. These dreams can also be warnings. It all depends on the context and the tone of the dream. Was it a good dream or negative? What were you feeling in the dream? Who were you marrying? What might they represent to you? Are they symbolic of a part of your calling? Or maybe a belief system? What does their name mean? Marriage is all about commitment, agreement, covenant, union, oneness, contract, devotion. What are you making an agreement with? Is it positive or negative? Is there some union that God is wanting to orchestrate? Is He calling you deeper into intimacy with him? With your calling? With others?
Do not let yourself be afraid or offended at the dreams about marriage, listen to this brief teaching and explanation and gain more courage and clarity to know God’s unique and loving message to you!

Hello, y'all. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm so happy to be with you.
Exploring Marriage Dreams
00:00:34
Speaker
Today, we are going to talk about a common dream. I'm going to help bring a little clarity to you. It's a pretty common dream, I would say, and in the theme of the summer of love.
00:00:45
Speaker
So what kind of dream am I talking about? I am talking about marriage dreams. Marriage dreams or wedding dreams. Yes, I am. These are the kind of dreams that some people don't want to touch with a 90-foot pole because they don't know what to do or they don't know what to think about it.
00:01:02
Speaker
I understand. It can be especially disconcerting if you are already married and then you have a dream about marrying someone else. I get it. You're kind of like, no, no, no, blah, blah, blah. I don't want to think about that, la, la.
00:01:13
Speaker
But let me tell you, Like most other dreams, this is probably a symbol. This is probably not literal. This is probably a symbol. So don't be afraid.
00:01:24
Speaker
Okay, let's jump into this.
00:01:47
Speaker
Okay, so you be having marriage dreams, not to worry. There is definitely a message here. And like I just mentioned, it is very ah wise of us to look at our dreams through a symbolic lens most of the time.
00:02:00
Speaker
Now, does that mean there are not literal elements to our dreams? No, there absolutely are. Does it mean we never have fully literal dreams? No, we absolutely do. And I believe that we can have literal marriage dreams as well.
00:02:14
Speaker
If you are... already engaged and you're on your way to getting married, you will probably have dreams about your wedding day and marriage stuff, right? But i do think that God can also talk to us about the person we're going to marry and give us glimpses
Interpreting Marriage Dreams
00:02:29
Speaker
into that. He loves us and he loves those things that are the most concerning to us.
00:02:34
Speaker
And intimate relationships and marriage couldn't be any more important, I don't think, then than that to most of us. That is the most important thing. So does he speak about that literally? Absolutely.
00:02:46
Speaker
And when we talk about marriage dreams, the most wisdom that we can have is to look at it metaphorically and to look at it with a very open heart, being very transparent with ourselves, with God, with anyone else that we might bring into it so that we are really aware of where our heart is at with this. Now, it's going to be easier to do that with certain kinds of marriage dreams than others.
00:03:13
Speaker
If you're marrying, you know, Michael Jackson in your dream, you're probably not going to have to go and get counsel on that. We know that that is not literal. But if in your dream you're marrying someone that you actually have feelings for or a crush on, then that is something that you just want to be real transparent about when you're processing it.
00:03:34
Speaker
Because like any dream, we can have soul-based dreams as well. And sometimes our soul is processing what it's experiencing or our soul is speaking to us about some attention that it might need or wanting us to know what's happening in there through our dream life.
Soul vs. Prophetic Dreams
00:03:50
Speaker
And if we interpret dreams that are from our soul as dreams that are prophetic or a message from God, then that is a misinterpretation. That is a part of why we want to be wise with this is, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure you're not here to have someone give you some false prophecies. I'm pretty sure you want to actually know God's voice.
00:04:10
Speaker
I'm pretty sure you don't want to be disappointed and carry around a promise that isn't actually true. We want to know the truth of what is but God is saying. And so if we are having a literal marriage dream about someone, then and we're transparently walking with God about it and with other people in it, then great.
00:04:26
Speaker
There's nothing to fear. We are going to be walking in the light. Okay, you heard me on that. Great. Margo did not say i had a marriage dream and whoever I marry in my dream is who God is saying I'm going to marry.
00:04:39
Speaker
That is not what I just said. However, I do think God speaks about this. So we don't want to take that off the table. Okay. Most of the marriage dreams that you are going to be having are going to be symbolic because most of our dreams are symbolic, right? Remember I said that couple times.
00:04:59
Speaker
So if we're going to think about marriage in a symbolic way, what could that possibly be talking about? Well, we know that a wedding and a marriage is actually talked a lot about in scripture because Jesus, the one we follow, is called the bridegroom.
00:05:16
Speaker
And we, the church, the body of Christ, is actually the bride of Christ. These are ah some of the terms that God refers to us as in scripture, because there is eventually going to be a big wedding with the bride and with Jesus.
00:05:35
Speaker
And it is going to be so ah glorious. It is basically what God is waiting for, what we are all waiting for. it is going to be a glorious day.
00:05:46
Speaker
And that marriage is ultimately the full, complete union covenant coming together without anything in between us.
00:06:00
Speaker
So if we're looking at marriage from a metaphorical standpoint, it could represent just that.
Symbolism of Marriage in Dreams
00:06:06
Speaker
Union, oneness, covenant, agreement, partnership, contract, marriage.
00:06:17
Speaker
Something very holy. Okay. So because it is so holy, God might be using it in a positive way or a negative way to show you things that you are in union with, things that you are agreeing with, things that you have made a contract with.
00:06:36
Speaker
God looks at things differently than we do. Sometimes we might just say something flippantly and God might see it as, hey, you just said that thing, which is as good as binding now because your words are so powerful.
00:06:50
Speaker
Did you know you just made this contract by making that statement? What? That seems unfair, God. Well, is it unfair or is it his kindness to actually show us when we are operating within some sort of spiritual laws that we don't maybe totally understand because our culture isn't quite that clear about it?
00:07:12
Speaker
So God could be showing you in a marriage dream, something that you're coming into union with, something you're coming into agreement with, someone you're coming into agreement with. This could be about your calling.
00:07:23
Speaker
This could be about an important relationship. This could be about a season. This could be about a mindset in the positive or the negative. Okay.
00:07:35
Speaker
I'm going to give you a couple examples. Let's say that you married Michael Jackson in your dream. Now, whether you are a female or a male, that's going to be probably a little weird for many reasons because none of us are literally marrying Michael Jackson and Michael Jackson is no longer alive.
00:07:49
Speaker
So clearly, this is a symbol of some sort. So the first thing you're going to ask yourself is, well, what does Michael Jackson mean to me? I might say something like, oh, Michael Jackson represents a singer-songwriter.
00:08:05
Speaker
Michael Jackson represents fame. Michael Jackson represents music. So if I personally have a dream that I marry Michael Jackson and it's a positive dream, God might be talking to me about my union and my covenant and my time of agreement with my calling in music.
00:08:23
Speaker
Could be something along those lines. Now, maybe Michael Jackson to you has a negative connotation and maybe the dream was negative. God might be showing you, hey, you're actually coming into agreement.
00:08:35
Speaker
You're actually making a contract with this thing, with this mindset.
Inner Unity and Identity
00:08:44
Speaker
I actually had a dream a year or two ago where in my dream I was marrying myself. It was very interesting. I was wearing a purple wedding dress and I was marrying myself.
00:08:56
Speaker
Now this is actually really profound and it meant something to me right away because I've been doing a lot over the years. In coming into unity, inner unity, internal unity with myself, where I have been practicing choosing myself again, where I have been choosing relationship with me. So the fact that I was marrying myself and my dress was purple, purple so often represents purple.
00:09:21
Speaker
just royalty and regalness. It felt like, oh, I'm i'm a really becoming one with my royal identity. I'm really embracing that. they're I'm not as divided over the understanding of my identity. I'm actually in covenant with myself and I'm loving myself differently than I used to. And that was a powerful dream because that's exactly what it spoke to me.
00:09:46
Speaker
I've also had a dream where i married a random guy whose name ended up meaning something. And in the dream, it was ah really intense. It wasn't positive. I was grieving the whole time.
00:10:02
Speaker
um it was rushed. I didn't get to have a dress. None of my family or friends got to be there. And essentially, i had married him really fast. And I was regretting the decision in the dream. And I was absolutely
Rushed Decisions in Dreams
00:10:14
Speaker
grieving. And when I woke up, I was like,
00:10:16
Speaker
Oh gosh, what was that? And so I looked up the guy who I married name in the dream and his name led me to something. And God's still unfolding this dream for me of God showing me like, hey, you actually just came into agreement over this. Like this thing that you just said, this thing you just made up your mind about, to me was you actually coming into union with this mindset.
00:10:40
Speaker
And if this is not what you want to do. Don't rush into that decision. Don't rush into that mindset. Don't rush into that. yeah that Yeah, that decision essentially.
00:10:51
Speaker
So it wasn't about actually marrying this person. It was about rushing into something and being committed to something that was not what I wanted and was not good.
00:11:03
Speaker
I also had a dream a while back that a friend of mine and i were bridesmaids
Spiritual Readiness in Dream Contexts
00:11:10
Speaker
in a wedding in Japan. it was very interesting. There was a lot of symbolism in it.
00:11:18
Speaker
Honestly, it layers of it. I'm still unfolding. But the thing that stuck out to me the most is that she and I were bridesmaids. in this dream. And of course, the context is all about a wedding. It's all about marriage.
00:11:31
Speaker
It felt very much like marriage to Jesus and maybe even had to do something with the Japanese bride. I'm still unfolding all of that. But the part about bringing the bridesmaids, it reminded me of the parable of the virgins who were all waiting with the oil in their lamps.
00:11:52
Speaker
They were ready for the bridegroom to come at any hour. So in that dream, what stood out the most was that posture. And so God was speaking about that because our whole context of relationship with him is this kind of intimacy, this kind of connection, this kind of union, ultimately all leading to the ultimate wedding, right?
00:12:20
Speaker
Maybe in your dream, you are marrying your first love. Maybe it's the person that you were dating when you were in high school and maybe you're already married. Of course, that would feel weird. Do I still feelings for them? ah Likely not.
00:12:33
Speaker
It doesn't hurt to always, you know, check out your heart posture in that. But I would say this is maybe God speaking to you about marrying your first love, marrying Jesus. especially if it felt romantic, especially if it felt deep, especially if it felt really connecting.
00:12:49
Speaker
God might be talking about bringing you into intimacy with him, ah season of romance with him. He does this with us. He does this with us as women. He does this with us as men. We're all the bride of Christ, even though the intimacy might look a little different.
00:13:03
Speaker
That is ultimately what he is talking about with marriage. Okay. Okay.
Guidance on Dream Interpretation
00:13:08
Speaker
So I would love to hear some of your marriage dreams. It could be maybe that you're putting on marriage garments and getting ready. Okay, well, where are you in that process? Are you wearing a wedding dress that maybe has ah big stain on it?
00:13:27
Speaker
Okay, well, that's probably saying, hey, you're in process here, but there's some healing that needs to happen. Maybe there's some cleansing that needs to happen before this actually happens. You're being prepared for a literal marriage, but there's some healing and cleansing happening.
00:13:43
Speaker
Maybe you're standing there and your tux is all ready and you're all buttoned up and you and you're just you see a bride in front of you, but you don't see her face. Maybe God is speaking to you about, hey, you're ready and I'm actually going to bring your partner soon.
00:13:58
Speaker
So I'm going to leave you with all of that mystery. But the most important takeaway today is pay attention to how you feel in the dream. Was it positive or was it negative?
00:14:10
Speaker
What were you marrying? Who were you marrying? Is it what their name means? Is it what they might carry? Is it a mindset? Is it a part of your calling? Is it a literal person?
00:14:24
Speaker
Did you just get a new job? Are you marrying your boss from your new job? Okay, is this talking about, was it positive or was it negative? what are Are you talking about just so signing your life away if it felt negative? Like, oh my gosh, I just married my boss. Like, I just married work.
00:14:39
Speaker
Like maybe the Lord's showing you, hey, you have a tendency to actually come into deeper covenant with your work than you do with your wife or your family or your husband. Maybe it's a warning in that way.
00:14:50
Speaker
But if it was positive, maybe God is showing you like there's a real covenant. There's a real commitment, something really beautiful in your connection with your calling and vocation.
Encouragement for Deeper Exploration
00:15:06
Speaker
Okay, I'm going to leave you with that, y'all. I would love to hear if you have any questions, if you need any help with this kind of dream. But really just remember to ask God, keep your heart open, keep your heart transparent so that you're recognizing what your feelings are about it. And if you're afraid, we do not need to be afraid of what God is showing us in dreams.
00:15:26
Speaker
And we don't need to be afraid of his language, even though it might be a little different than the kind of language we would normally use. It is all about getting drawn into deeper connection with him and letting him unveil the meaning of the dream.
00:15:41
Speaker
So I will bid you adieu and happy dreaming and happy interpreting to you
