Wedding dreams/nightmares?

It's like every night now! When I first started getting them, it was early on, before we had booked all the majors and the dreams would be like, it was the day of the wedding, and I realized we hadn't booked a DJ or photographer or something.

Now they are like, it's the day of the wedding but I didn't get the favors done and now we won't have any, or we are supposed to be heading out to take pictures and I slept in and haven't gotten my hair done yet.

It is stressing me out to the max! I'm more stressed about the wedding in my sleep than in real life. In real life, I feel really calm about everything and know we'll have time to finish everything and actually kind of wish it would get here a little sooner!! But I wake up from these dreams freaking out!!! I keep wondering if I'm forgetting something and my subconscious is trying to remind me or something??

Anyone else having this issue?

    Yep!  I have them quite frequently actually.  They are getting more and more bizarre too.  My last one was it was the week before the wedding and even though it was all our plans, I was marrying my high school ex-bf and not FI.  I remember feeling so excited for the weekend, but realizing I had to cancel the wedding because there was no way in hell I could marry my ex-bf.  I said to my friends (in the dream of course) "I'm sorry, I just can't go through with this.  I can't marry ex-bf.  I wish I could marry FI.  I'd marry him in a heartbeat!".  Lol.  See, weird! 

    I've also had dreams of me forgetting my dress.  I was all ready, dressed, makeup and it was time to put on the dress and go except there was no dress to wear.  My other favorite is not remembering anything that happened - Hanover the movie style.  I remember walking down the aisle but nothing else.  The next day I woke up married and couldn't remember anything.  That was a nightmare!

    So no, you are not alone.  Wink

    I had those dreams, too, and I also felt pretty relaxed in waking life. 

    In one dream, we didn't have wedding bands, and we were driving around on the Sunday of our wedding trying to find a plain metal band for me, which is a requirement for a Jewish wedding, and I didn't have any time to get my hair and makeup done. 

    In another dream, we were successfully married, but we never got any food to eat on the entire wedding day.  I later realized that that dream was probably because we had just watched the episode of How I Met Your Mother where Lily and Marshall get married and they don't get any food at their reception (it probably didn't help that then-FI kept making "it's for the bride" jokes afterwards).

    Glad to know I'm not the only one!! Three more weeks of this is going to drive me nuts!!

    jessicabessica-that is hilarious about your H making those jokes though!! I love that episode. And every episode, really. :)

    We started watching Falling Skies on TNT and I thought that might screw with my dreams. But only FI has had any alien invasion dreams since we started. I'm actually jealous that he gets to dream about that and I'm dreaming about stressful wedding stuff. Is that wrong or what?

    I had a few nightmares!  There was one in particular that was so real it freaked me out.  As we were all walking up to the outdoor spot for the ceremony, there were huge dump trucks and tractors and things that had dug this gigantic hole and there were piles of dirt everywhere!  I woke up and could not get back to sleep!  However, I understand they are perfectly normal.

    OH MY GOD! i am so glad you posted this... i just had my first wedding nightmare two nights ago and was wondering if i was going insane!!!  I am fully entertained reading about all of your dreams!  Mine was quick but i woke up feeling exhasted and stressed about everything.. i had to call my wedding coordinator to set up a meeting becaue i am starting to freak out... i am hitting the 6 week mark tomorrow!!!

    jessicabessica... so weird because i had the crazy dream after watching the HIMYM lily and marshall episode that night!! 

    so to share my dream... lots of little stuff that bothered me but i kept saying it's fine, not everything can go perfectly (just like lily was saying in the episode) So my makeup artist and hairdresser or my bridesmaids didnt show, and it was just me and my mom in the corner of a restaurant getting ready.. so strange.  But i was fine until i tried to get in my dress.. and i forgot to shave my legs haha and i turned into a blubbering mess.. legit inconsolable and then i woke up. RIDICULOUS!  Glad to hear i am not alone haha!
    Anniversary
