Getting married dream

[Wildflower]

I had what I feel was a very important dream the other night. ( I like discussing dreams and I hope no one finds it too tedious of me.)

I was getting ready to get married in the closet of my teenage bedroom (which of course was far larger than that closet ever was) My father (now passed on) was helping me get ready. He picked out a lot of very delicately crafted silver and blue jewelry. There was a small amount of pink and gold, but mostly silver and blue. He told me I was beautiful and I told him I loved him and I hugged him with great affection. I felt my father's presence very strongly.

Then I looked in the mirror and noted that though I was decked head to foot in beautiful jewelry, I was in my pale pink (so pale it was almost white) nightgown and then I was looking for a dress  to wear.

Nothing I found suited a wedding and I thought everything was unflattering. I came upon a royal blue velvet gown that I liked very much but then thought no, that is not for me and then nothing else suited and I searched in vain for the blue gown again but could not find it. (Strangely the black tube socks and tan sneakers I was wearing didn't upset me!)

I woke up feeling so frustrated I had to get up. The dream was extremely disturbing and it took some time to lose the irritated feeling.

Edited to add: I left out a part. In the dream there was this woman in her early twenties or late teens, dark headed and from India who asked me to hurry up finding the right dress because she had someplace to go afterwards. I told her I was sorry but it was hard to find it and she just says "You really hate me, don't you?" 

The things I pick out of it are

Dress: How I present myself to the world

Jewelry: Mind patterns (light blue, delicate)

Somehow my internal image of God has provided me with many mind patterns relating to communication (light blue) that are refined but I am not sure how to present myself to the world and it is frustrating to me.

I do seem to have a problem with not being able to communicate with is inside to the outside world, I have always been shy and introverted, intutive not sensing.

I would welcome anyone else's input or different point of view on this dream if they like discussing dreams too. :)

ok... I'll take a swing at it.

Godmind is assisting you as you prepare for the next big change or next phase in your life. There is a part of you that is very anxious to move on, to step out of the closet and into these new experiences, but another part of you doesn't feel ready or prepared just yet. Its possible that while you have been successful with smaller details, that there is one big detail you still need to tend to... before you will feel ready.


(Just so you know... interpreting dreams is definetly not my day job! :) )

Yes, thank you for that viewpoint, the wedding must be about some new phase of my life. I think the part that I am not prepared about is how to present myself to the outer world. Clothing is supposed to represent how we present ourselves to the world and I know that it is a frustratng thing for me, this feeling that somehow I never fully express what is inside me as I intend to towards the outside world. The closet being in the bedroom would seem to relate to old ideas. It was my old closet but it was more like an elaborate dressing room that was connected to my teenage bedroom in the dream.


LOL, okay so my dream is telling me what I already know about that, but what I really need help with is how to change how accurately I present myself to the world and I cannot pull a clue out about that one yet. :? 

Maybe something related to hyperspace or senses because the gown I liked the most was royal blue and I initally dismissed it as I was not worthy of the gown...it was stunning with sparkling jets and fine velvet, but not the girtty kind just a silkly feel. Then when I believed that no other gown would suit me as well, I could not find it again.

I still am not sure what the impatient, slightly resentful girl (from India) in closet meant, maybe that I don't pay attention to my left brain traits enough especially when it comes to new ideas (youth). I wonder what her nationality symbolized?

hmm. I don't know enough about Indian culture to even guess about her.

Royal Blue is a non-traditional color for a wedding dress. Are you non-traditional? Also... Royal blue is what you visualize when getting information about the future. Its also where the pineal gland is, so maybe means intuition. (and anyone can correct me if I'm wrong because this is based on my memory, I'm too lazy to dig out the books)

I guess no matter how you represent yourself to the world, nothing will be as beautiful as just being your non traditional intuitive self!

Yeah!

Or was it just blue?

Here's what wikipedia says about wedding dresses and blue ones in particular:

Prior to the Victorian era a bride was married in any color except black (the color of mourning) or red (which was connected with prostitutes). The white dress came to symbolize happiness, purity of heart, and the innocence of childhood. Later attribution suggested that the color white symbolized virginity, however, this symbolism is slowly fading in favor of simply having a traditional and popular white wedding, regardless of the couple's circumstances. It was originally the color blue that was connected to purity.

Since after rejecting the royal blue velvet grown for your own marraige, an indian lady suggested you hate her, you might want to look at some quality of indian marriage:
