What Does Dreaming of Getting Married Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation (Ibn Sirin and Nabulsi), getting married in a dream mostly points to a blessed destiny, approaching good fortune, and help from God; it can herald a new chapter, abundance, and joy. In some interpretations, depending on the context, it may also mean responsibility, debt, or a burden taken onto one's shoulders.
Psychological View
From a modern psychological perspective (Jung), getting married can symbolize the union of opposing sides within oneself—the desire for wholeness and maturation through the "inner marriage" (coniunctio). It may also reflect a wish for commitment, a pledge, or passage into a new stage of identity.
By Context
For a Single Person
It may indicate that a new and positive beginning in life, an opening fortune, and happiness are drawing near.
For a Married Person
It may point to family bonds growing stronger, to increasing peace and love, and in some interpretations to financial relief.
Marrying a Stranger
It is generally interpreted as goodness and an unexpected benefit; it can symbolize reaching a goal long worked toward.
Its Unfavorable Side According to Ibn Sirin
In some cases it may point to a responsibility placed on one's shoulders, to debt, sorrow, or the effort expended for a position.
