Mother
Mother figures in dreams represent nurturing, unconditional love, protection, and the fundamental relationship template we carry through life. A positive mother dream may indicate self-care needs, while a threatening mother might represent smothering behavior or unresolved maternal issues. The 'Great Mother' archetype encompasses both creative and destructive feminine energy.
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.
