Rainbow
Rainbows appear after storms and universally symbolize hope, promise, and beauty emerging from difficulty. A rainbow in a dream may indicate that a difficult period is ending and beauty is ahead. In Biblical tradition, the rainbow represents God's promise. In many cultures, the rainbow is a bridge between earth and heaven. The full spectrum of colors represents wholeness and the integration of all aspects of self.
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.
