Lightning
Sudden insight, inspiration, shock
Wedding
Union, commitment, transition
Lightning
Lightning represents sudden illumination, inspiration, or shocking revelation. Being struck by lightning suggests a life-changing realization or event. Lightning illuminating darkness represents insight piercing through confusion. In mythology, lightning is the weapon of sky gods (Zeus, Thor) — representing divine power and judgment. Thunder and lightning together represent the full force of revelation: the flash of understanding and the emotional impact.
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.
