I dreamt of getting married in palani temple infront of lord murugan. The groom is not there. It is my mother who ties the knot for me. In the dream I stand in a confused state thinking if I am marrying my love of my life or the boy my parents choose for me. I can understand the absence of the groom since both of them live out of india, but I stand in confusion in front of murugan , dressed in a green-red-Yellow silk saree and decorated as a bride. All the whole I keep looking at murugan ,I think about if he is indeed fulfilling my marriage with the love of my life ( about which I pray to him every day ) or does he feel the boy chosen by my parents is a better choice. Even after the thali is tied by my mother and we leave the sanctum, I take a deep glance asking him the same question that ran in my head. The idol of palani murugan was so real like in actual palani temple, but the room in mybdream was brightly lit up with tube lights. After coming out, every relative of mine ( whome we are not in a good relationship with ) give me a tight lipped smile and speak with me. In the same palani hill, there is another deity which newly married bride must hug. After that I wake up from my dream. Here , the boy I love about whom i pary to lord murugan is a singer-pop-idol and he is extremely popular (he is not an Indian and he does not known that I exist. But I pray to murugan everyday about my sincerity of love towards him and that lord murugan should help me meet him, get to know each other, fall in love , and get married with parents consent as well as with all of the gods blessings). On the other hand the boy seen by my parents is as per horoscope match (he is hindu and our horoscope has 10/10 compatibility. Hence my family is forcing me to choose him blindly). The guy is indeed good but why I have given my heart to someone else, I cannot accept this guy seen by my parents. Hence I always pray to murugan to clear this out for me. May I know what this dream depicts?
Your dream is rich in symbolism and reveals a deep internal conflict regarding love, family expectations, and spiritual guidance. Here’s a detailed interpretation of the elements in your dream:
Weddings often symbolize new beginnings, commitments, or the merging of two aspects of oneself. The setting in the Palani temple, a revered place dedicated to Lord Murugan, signifies seeking blessings and guidance from a higher power. Your participation in a marriage ritual without the groom suggests feelings of uncertainty in your life, particularly in matters of love and relationships.
The absence of the groom you love, who resides outside India, reflects feelings of longing and perhaps a sense of helplessness regarding your dreams of a future together. Conversely, your mother tying the knot indicates a parental influence on your decisions, emphasizing the conflict between your desires and family expectations. This may symbolize a fear of being forced into a situation that doesn’t align with your true feelings.
Standing in a state of confusion suggests a struggle between your personal desires (your love for the popular singer) and societal or familial pressures (the boy chosen by your parents). This tug-of-war within your mind demonstrates the emotional turmoil you are facing, as well as your desperate need for validation from a spiritual source, embodied in your gaze at Lord Murugan. The colors of your saree (green, red, yellow) add layers to your dream; these colors can represent various feelings—green for healing and growth, red for passion and love, and yellow for clarity and enlightenment.
Your continuous questioning of Lord Murugan reflects a quest for spiritual direction and reassurance. The action of looking for a sign from him shows your longing for divine intervention in your love life—something that resonates with both hope and anxiety. It indicates your desire for clarity: to understand whether to pursue your heartfelt connection or accept the logical choice laid before you.
The tight-lipped smiles and the conversations with relatives you’re not close to suggest feelings of judgment or pressure from societal norms. It reflects the importance placed on family approval in marriage, and perhaps an underlying fear that you must conform to societal expectations, even if it means sacrificing your own happiness.
The act of hugging another deity after the wedding signifies a rite of passage for a bride, possibly symbolizing acceptance of a new phase in life. If this is a requirement or tradition, it may indicate that you are grappling with the weight of social norms and expectations in your life. It could also signify a desire for acceptance and blessings, even if you feel torn between personal love and familial obligations.
Overall, your dream illustrates the internal conflict between your authentic self and the expectations imposed on you by family and society. It highlights your sincere devotion to Lord Murugan, underscoring your hope for guidance and clarity in matters of the heart. You are caught between what your heart desires and what is deemed appropriate by those around you.
Reflecting on this dream may encourage you to explore your feelings further and seek a balanced approach to addressing both your desires and familial obligations. Consider engaging in open communication with your family about your feelings and desires, while also finding ways to honor your individuality in the face of societal pressure. Ultimately, your dream asks you to navigate these complex waters with patience, clarity, and faith in your path—trusting that the answers will come in due time.
