Uncover Hidden Dream Meanings

Dreaming of a reception signifies fun times ahead if everything went well in the dream.

To dream of a wedding reception could signify you have inner needs and wants of a stable marriage and overall happiness. Don't we all? And that you want to settle down and be loved and to start a new family. If at the reception it is perfect and a happy time it usually means that your inner dream will come true if you work hard at it. 

This dream shows you at a grand wedding reception where everyone is enjoying delicious food, dancing, and having a great time but there is no bride or groom or something else that is crazy. There are six types of wedding receptions that can happen in real life, the classic reception, breakfast reception, lunch reception, afternoon tea, champagne and cake, cocktail, and finally the most popular dinner reception. In regards to meanings, all wedding receptions fall under the same dream interpretation. 

You may also find maybe something else odd like all the food has been eaten and that the servers have cleared the table. A small bowl of wedding cake is visible that has not been touched. It seems like it would be easier to just eat the cake without interrupting the others' enjoyment, whereby others are looking for food. It is odd and confusing, but dreams are. Dreams are funny things but the major symbol of the wedding reception can be interpreted as a positive omen.

This dream shows how it is possible to be hungry for love in the midst of a world full of abundance. This dream is something that many people experience once in their lives, especially if you are going to attend a wedding or someone you know is getting married - but it's not a dream everyone has.

Dreams are not surprising patterns. Such a dream can often occur if you have trouble with love in your waking life. Often, these dreams occur when a relationship confuses you or won't be pushy or demanding at this stage in the partnership. In truth, your dream is reflecting that you will celebrate love but there is something missing if strange things are happening in the dream. In context, these dreams are about attention, sympathy, or how we are in the spotlight. You do need to have a better coping strategy and a wider perspective on having fun, time, and adventure. It's true to say, that we don’t necessarily need too many partners, but we do need such relationships to be healthy. If you feel a strange sensation in the dream such as you are shocked to discover that someone is marrying your partner then this is normally associated with difficulties in waking life.

If there are many screws up at the wedding reception, it would mean that you have way too many fears of commitment to settle down. And that you need a lot more time to figure out everything in your life to even settle down just yet.

In your dream, if you marry an ex then that is actually a sign of happiness and tranquility. The past always has a calming effect on people. There is something about the old and familiar that everyone loves.

If you are just a guest at the reception, it symbolizes the inner turmoil and jealousy you have for what other people have. It is a sign that you want what that person has, such as a significant other, settling down and a family. Be careful not to let jealousy and hatred run too deep, you do not want it to affect the relationship you have with that person.

One thing I find is that many people nowadays do not want the commitment of a full-time relationship and are resisting it. If you get this dream multiple times it is a sure sign that if you reflect deep down you will be able to find that it is truly what you want in your life. This dream clearly shows the consequences of making compromises. It could be finishing a college degree that you are unhappy with, returning to a relationship you are ambivalent about or staying with a company in a career that you simply dislike. People who have such a dream make reasonable choices when their options are either limited or even forced.

This dream is most common between the ages of 18 and 35, and it seems to be equally common for men and women, given this is the time we tend to get married. These are the years where we feel the most pressure to compromise due to various reasons but do not have enough experience or power to allow us more freedom. The dream does not necessarily indicate that a love relationship has gone or will go wrong - but it does highlight the personal and deep consequences of the decision.

This dream is in association with the following scenarios in your life

  • New boyfriend.
  • Friends getting married.
  • Seeing children.
  • Watching a wedding on movie/TV.
  • You yourself are about to get married.

In this dream, you may have

  • Been at a wedding reception.
  • Dreamed of your own wedding reception.
  • Danced at a wedding reception.
  • A wedding.
  • Dresses.
  • Parties.

Positive changes are afoot if

  • You make happy changes in life.
  • You have more fun.
