Lock
Security, secrets, restriction
Wedding
Union, commitment, transition
Lock
Locks represent security, protection, secrets, and restriction. A locked door may indicate something you're keeping protected or an area of life that's off-limits. Picking a lock suggests finding clever ways around obstacles. A broken lock indicates compromised security. The interplay between locks and keys in dreams represents the dynamic between protection and access, secrecy and revelation.
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.
