I am getting married in 3 months to a wonderful man, but I am troubled by my dreams about him. In all my dreams about us, he is cheating on me in some way (at least 10 different dreams in total). This makes no sense to me at all because in my waking life, I have never felt more secure in a relationship, never felt more loved, and never trusted someone as much as I do my future husband. I have had many relationships in the past where I've been cheated on, but really do not worry at all about my fiance's faithfulness. I am confused, any ideas why I would have dreams like this? I am not cheating on him either. |

This is just my opinion (and, admittedly, I'm not the kind of person who gives a lot of credence to dream analysis) but I often find that when a dream is "trying to tell me something," it's not to be taken literally. That is, if you're having a dream that your fiance is unfaithful, it may not be that your subconscious is literally telling you that your fiance is unfaithful. Rather, you might have other sorts of anxieties--maybe just as simple as wedding jitters--that are being represented in your dreams as infidelity. If (and this might be a big IF) you're inclined to read any "deep hidden meaning" into your recurring dreams, I'd say take a moment to think about what possibly could be worrying you about your fiance and your marriage. Is there anything aside from his fidelity that worries you about your fiance? Is there anything about married life in general that worries you? Honestly, getting married can be such a stressful situation that I wouldn't be surprised if your dreaming mind concocts all sorts of bizarre imagery in its normal process of "de-fragmenting" the brain. But that doesn't mean that bizarre imagery is to be taken literally in your waking life... |

I should add one more comment. After you are married and have children you will dream all sorts of terrible things happen to your children. So your dreams will change. Those are horrible dreams, however I can assure you that once you successful get the kids all grown up, those dreams also go away. The older I get the less I dream. You tend to dream more when you are younger. |

Dear Christiane (lovely name), I also agree entirely with Tr1234, both on the pre-wedding anxiety, which is typical, and about the content of the dreams. Dreams use the "material" they can find; it would be logical (not the best word!) for your completely normal doubts before the big step to be expressed in the terms of your earlier experiences. Maybe you are thinking: "But I don't have any doubts!" You would be unusual if you didn't have any before sealing such an important decision in your life. As Roxrox mentions, dreams deal with the things that are in the back of our minds that worry us, maybe especially if we don't admit to them. Take care, and let me wish you both all the best!

I thank you again for your insightful comments and agree that my dreams are most likely my mind's way of dealing with wedding anxiety, and the reality of committing my life to another person! |
