What does dreaming about wedding dress mean?
Wedding dresses carry concentrated symbolic weight. They mark ceremonial moments, public commitments, and particular forms of beauty tied to thresholds. Dream wedding dresses often surface themes of commitment, union, or significant ceremonial transitions.
