Dreams often represent the dreamlike transposition of desires we have in real life, or even aspirations and feelings that we may have difficulty expressing.
Some images can in fact highlight unexpressed needs or conditions that we would like to see occur, but on the contrary they are slow to be satisfied as we would like.
If, for example, we happen to dream of a marriage proposal and the protagonist of the gesture is our partner, we probably want to take the story to the next level.
This dream can come even if we are already happily married and in this case it can mean that the aspiration of a couple is perhaps to have children or move into a bigger house.
Dream of Marriage Proposal – Meaning
The marriage proposal represents the crowning of a desire on the part of the dreamer, who in many cases is linked to the personal and family sphere.
But it can also go beyond this context, especially if the person who asks us as a wife is not a familiar face
We are most likely waiting for news that will change our lives, like a new job or a transfer, and in this case the proposal is a non-romantic transposition.
In real life we know that a much awaited change may soon arrive and our inner self transforms it into a particularly evocative dream.
But in reality the proposal of marriage by a stranger could also mean something else. In fact, it is often a dream that represents the desire to understand each other better, a path of inner knowledge and personal development undertaken by the dreamer.
Perhaps you are trying to find yourself again after a period of confusion, after a break or after a period of your life that is now facing the end.
In fact, those who dream and those who kneel with an engagement ring are the same person and the proposal is an invitation from our unconscious to know us better, but also to find the strength to go on.
If then in the dream our knight is someone we know, but not our boyfriend or partner, the interpretation changes further.
The meaning here is more complex and could identify the aspiration to be like who we have in front of us, someone we obviously value or appreciate some characteristics of.
Dream of Marriage Proposal – Symbolism

It is necessary to consider the qualities and characteristics of the person who is getting married. These qualities represent those that you need to look for in yourself.

Dreaming of a marriage without a husband or wife – he / she does not show up, and your anguish grows; who thought about it again? no husband, no one shows up, being alone, groom does not show up,
Dreaming of an unorganized marriage – suddenly, getting married quickly, perhaps even without witnesses and guests, secretly; maybe even without a wedding dress but in jeans, in pajamas, or with a dress you don’t like.
Dreaming of being late to the marriage and various mishaps – the bride is without a wedding dress, the groom does not find the pants, you marry without shoes or with punctured shoes, then you happen to lose faiths, to be without a bouquet, to marry in cemetery instead of in church, etc. etc.
