I'm currently dating this guy and recently I've been wondering if this could be the right man for me. My mom is a believe and so am I, one day me and my mom went into prayer about this new guy in my life I proceeded to ask God was this the man for me is this the man I will marry. So we finished up with the prayer didn't think much of it until a week later I was in my kitchen cooking breakfast when my brother came to me and said he had a dream and in the dream he saw me and my boyfriend getting married he had my hand....He saw him in a white tuxedo and I had the wedding vail on my head he didn't see me in my wedding dress. So what does this dream atually saying.

with dreams, it really is a good idea to ask God what their interpretation is. People can give you all kinds of interpretations, and how are you going to know if they're right or not?
some people have the spiritually given gift of interpreting dreams (like daniel and joseph in the bible for example.) at other times the meaning is obvious to us. but when we don't know, we really should ask the one who gave it to us in the first place.

if you know someone who has the gift of interpreting dreams you can ask them (or post them in a forum like this hoping someone who has will respond) but if that happens you should automatically get a sense of peace or 'rightness' about the whole thing in your spirit with their answer. it should 'click' into place.

random advice can lead you totally up the garden path if you arn't careful.

why don't you ask God to lead you to someone who has the gift of interpreting dreams, or even pray together as a family and ask God to reveal the meaning of those dreams to you (or even your brother, since he had them.) or even ask your pastor or a christian leader to pray with you for the same results.

I've tried my hand at interpreting dreams before and people were always amazed at my interpretation. I guess that's cool but I don't know if my interpretations are real, from God or from my own imagination. So I'm not comfortable giving dream interpretations anymore and instead I will give you some advice.

I already told you in your other thread that you should not have any doubts about the one you are about to marry. But I also want to point out that there is not just one single person that you can marry and be happy with. There are many, many people out there who could make you happy. You could marry him and be happy or you could marry the next guy and be equally happy. So asking if "this is the one" is really a deceiving question.

You should instead be asking yourself if you are able to commit your life to this particular person no matter who else may come along. Don't let a dream decide this important question for you.

Whoever you choose to commit to is the guy you're going to be with for the rest of your life, even if you fall in love with somebody else down the road. That's why marriage has nothing to do with love and everything to do with commitment.

Having said all that I want to tell you that I once had a marriage dream as well. I dreamt that I saw my friend walking down the aisle in an outdoor ceremony just a few months before it happened exactly the way I saw it in my dream. In the real wedding we were in the same setting and she was wearing the same dress I saw in my dream and I was seated where I saw her from the exact same angle that I saw in my dream and I even knew in my dream the age she was (32) when she married.

When I told her my dream the next day she wasn't even engaged yet and she was already 32 so she thought it was just a weird dream. But within a week he proposed and for circumstances beyond their control they had to marry that same summer. I really did see the future in that dream. But that doesn't mean your brother did. It could've been just a weird dream.

I'm not saying it was a weird dream, I'm just saying it might not mean anything. If on the other hand you are confident that it is a message from God then I hope you're right. I believe God does talk to us in dreams, I just don't know how we can be sure if the dream is from him or from our own imagination.

But even if it's not a message from God that doesn't mean you shouldn't marry him. Only you know if you guys are good together.

While I believe that God speaks often through dreams, I agree. Dreams can seem like games to play, the way people read horoscopes. The dreams are not your answer, God is your source.

God's Word reminds us to make wise decisions, not act in haste, not chase after the wind, not be deceived by flattering words, not invent prophecies. Scriptures also give prophecies, and show how God continues to speak to His people in various ways.

He saw him in a white tuxedo and I had the wedding vail on my head he didn't see me in my wedding dress.
Just so you know, when I respond to dreams, I bring out information that will help the OP understand. My intent is to lead you toward your own interpretation, not to tell you this or that. In scriptures, the believers came to their own dream conclusions.

WHITE TUX
I have watched many friends and relatives of a groom laugh when he puts that white tux on -- "You clean up good" often comes with a chuckle that the man was involved in many indiscretions and was finally becoming a respectable member of society. Sometimes he is the last person they would expect to wear white, but he does it for the woman.

That could imply different things in a dream -- doing it for show, showing good intent, cleaning up their act, appearing clean and flawless to the public. Positive or negative.

VEIL
(Oopsie I wrote veal first)
A veil pretends to hide the face of the woman from the groom until it is drawn back during the ceremony. Everyone knows it's transparent, but they keep the symbolic limits of restraint and respect for the ceremony.

The veil is also decorative, a head covering, heightens your appearance. I would think in a dream, a veil is showing your authority to make the decision on your own, before it being drawn back and you make to the commitment to include him in your decisions.

DRESS
Not seeing the dress might just mean that it wasn't important to the dream message. The dress is what the bride chooses to identify their tastes, to appear more glamorous, to be the princess for a day. Most brides have strong opinions about what this dress should be, and allow themselves to be very fussy over it, because it's their one pivotal chance to show and decide what they want the world to see.

With that in mind, the lack of a dress seems like you gave up some of your rights to be yourself. The veil can shows this decision-making too, but what bride gets excited about picking out their veil? It is usually an afterthought.

I hate to tie this in with the pregnancy dream, but the two could easily go together -- a pregnancy would take away from the perfect dress. So just say no. (-; But I do not want to make things up without knowing you, or imply anything that isn't true. Just use this possible interpretation for yourself, to make wise decisions.

With him in a white tux looking pretty, and no one noticing whether you had the dress or not, the focus seems on him looking good, and you being in the background. This can happen when we go for a man that we adore and respect -- we are tempted to want to attain approval from others by reaching heights through whom we date, the status of who approves of us. That may work for dating, but can lead to nightmares in marriage.
