Dreaming of going to a wedding after a family funeral - dream meaning with inherited lore
When a sad event is followed by a joyful gathering, it may reflect the complicated feeling that changes in your family are arriving all at once.
After your family member’s funeral, you change clothes and go to a wedding. With everyone smiling and celebrating, the sadness from moments ago lingers, leaving you feeling awkward or dazed.
Korean lore: Dreams in which two very different major rituals, such as a death and a wedding, follow one another have sometimes been interpreted traditionally as overlapping changes in the family. Rather than seeing this as predicting a specific event, it’s better to consider the texture of the feelings in the dream. (In folk dream interpretations, death and weddings have each been treated as symbols of parting and a new chapter.)
Through the mind: You may be managing family changes and other people’s expectations at the same time, while setting your own feelings aside for a while. If it’s hard to feel fully happy even when something good happens, that complexity may have found its way into the dream.
