From Journal Entry 11/21/24
I had a dream right after I met my boyfriend. In the dream, I cancelled my wedding. A big box of gifts arrived from my uncle and my cousin. I forgot to tell them I cancelled the wedding, and don't know if I should return the gifts. In the dream, I was going to marry Michael Jackson. I was very content with my decision. I was not upset.
Cancelling a wedding in a dream often reflects a change in commitment or a major decision being reconsidered. Since this happened after meeting my boyfriend, it could reflect an unconscious shift—maybe letting go of past expectations or imagined futures.
It might represent the part of me that is opening up to something new (my current relationship) and moving away from a previous internal plan or idea of the future.
Gifts in dreams often symbolize emotional support, inherited values, or blessings from my family.
Forgetting to tell my uncle and cousin could point to some tension about how my changing path (perhaps this new relationship) fits with family expectations or traditions.
Returning the gifts reflect internal questioning—“Do I owe someone an explanation for my choices?” or “Should I undo what’s been done?”
Michael Jackson represents fame, transformation, creativity, or even childhood memories.
The fact that I was content and not upset suggests this wasn’t a distressing loss or decision—it felt right. I felt at peace with a dramatic change.
Interpretation: This dream might reflect a turning point, where I'm releasing a fantasy (symbolized by the MJ wedding) and stepping into something more grounded or authentic (represented by the new relationship). The gifts and my hesitation about returning them may mirror real-life concerns about how others perceive my choices or how much I feel I need to honor past commitments. Because I was content suggests I've aligned with this inner shift—even if parts of me are still catching up.
