As a child I had several dreams twice and I always wondered what they meant, but now as an adult it is perplexing me even more as I have had the same dream twice in the last three weeks.

I have recently started dating my high school sweetheart who still lives in my hometown and I feel that this bit of information will be helpful in interpreting my dream. The first time I had the dream I was back in the town I grew up in standing outside a church that was in my aunt's neighborhood no one knew existed. We were talking about it being the perfect place to have a wedding and the next part of the dream that I remember is me standing outside the church in a wedding dress with my father getting ready to walk me down the aisle. The weird part about these dreams is that I am looking at myself take part in these events, I am feeling my emotions and seeing everything but I am watching myself the entire time.

The second time I had the dream (just two nights ago) I was arriving at the same church and there was a huge crowd of family and friends outside waiting to get in. I was in a wedding dress and I put a sheet or towel over my dress so no one would see it. As I get into the church I learn that it isn't my wedding but my engagement party and I am so confused as to what is going on and my aunt is yelling at me for wearing my wedding dress to my engagement party. I spent the whole time frantically running around looking for my boyfriend and every time I saw him I couldn't get to him. I finally decide to give up and go to the sanctuary where everyone has gathered. One of my uncles is up at the podium talking about Hunter and I as a couple. I find the only place to sit and it is next to Hunter coincidentally. I grab his shoulder as I sit down to make sure it is him and he turns around and he looks spectacular. I hug him and tell him how glad I am to finally see him and talk to him. As the dream progresses, I am continuing to hide my dress from people and my mom has an emergency and has to leave.

This is really all that I remember. From reading the meanings in regards to dreaming about weddings, churches, wedding gowns, and engagements. I can't really formulate a full meaning to this, nonetheless, what it means to basically dream the same dream twice. I believe the first dream was the sequel but I saw it first. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate any insight.

Thank you! This helps me tremendously. A lot of your explanation is very relevant to what is going on in my life and how I feel. Once again thank you for your time and help.
