Dreaming of a family funeral at a wedding - dream meaning with inherited lore
Joy and the feeling of loss overlap, reflecting how complicated it can feel to face family relationships or a new change.
A family funeral takes place in one part of the wedding hall, or you head to the funeral home after the ceremony. Among the well-wishers, you may feel sad or out of place.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams that bring together two very different major rites, such as a wedding and a funeral, have sometimes been read as a change in life’s course. They may also be seen as dreams that turn toward changes in the family or old feelings. (In folk dream interpretations, weddings and funerals are sometimes read together as scenes that symbolize major turning points in life.)
Through the mind: A scene like this may appear when family expectations and the next stage of your own life seem to be arriving all at once. Think about whether joy and pressure are both present, and whose gaze is weighing on you most.
