Drowning
Drowning dreams are powerful expressions of feeling overwhelmed — by emotions, responsibilities, relationships, or circumstances. They can also indicate suppressed emotions that are 'pulling you under.' If someone rescues you in the dream, it may indicate a need for help or that help is available if you ask.
Wedding
Wedding dreams represent the union of different aspects of yourself, major commitments, or transitional life phases. They don't necessarily predict actual weddings. Dreaming of your own wedding may reflect anxiety or excitement about commitment. A disastrous wedding might indicate fear of commitment or feeling unprepared for a major life change.
